The UK rivers where 'forever chemical' found - and why scientists are worried
The first study of the TFA forever chemical indicates they are present in virtually every river in Britain

PFAS Found in 65% of Private Wells Sampled in Pennsylvania

'Forever chemicals' detected in 65% of sampled private wells in Pennsylvania
In Pennsylvania, 3.5 million people are served by private well systems, according to Penn State Extension. To better understand potential contamination of the groundwater feeding these systems, a team of researchers from Penn State conducted a novel three-year citizen science study of per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)—often referred to as forever chemicals—in 167 private wells across Pennsylvania.

Remember Alphaville's song Forever Young?
If you have 8 more minutes here's what I recently found. I hope it gives you as much joy listening to it as it does for me.

Near-field optical mode engineering-enabled freeform nonlocal metasurfaces
Nanophotonic technologies inherently rely on tailoring light-matter interactions through the excitation and interference of deeply confined optical resonances. However, existing concepts in optical mode engineering remain heuristic and are challenging to extend towards complex and multi-functional resonant phenomena. Here, we introduce an inverse design framework that optimizes near-field distributions, ideally suited to tailor Mie-type modes within dielectric nanophotonic structures, and we de…

Ergebnisse des #fahrradklimatest2024. Interessant, wie nuancenreich das ausfällt (und wie sehr das Freiburger Umland ggü. Freiburg abfällt, aber ja: so ist's).

Sega is discontinuing support for 9 retro games that were ported to iOS and Android years ago -they've made them all free and removed in-app purchases. I just grabbed Crazy Taxi, Golden Axe Classics, Super Monkey Ball - check out the list here and grab them in the app stores asap before they disappear, there's Streets of Rage and Sonic too, etc:

Download these now free retro mobile games before Sega removes them
Sega is discontinuing nine more retro games on iOS and Android, but you can now download them for free until they’re gone.
