Dislocation interaction with a tilt low angle grain boundary in bi-crystal SrTiO3
For potentially wider applications of ceramics with dislocation-tuned mechanical and functional properties, it is pertinent to achieve dislocation engineering in polycrystalline ceramics. However, grain boundaries (GBs) in general are effective barriers for dislocation glide and often result in crack formation when plastic deformation in ceramics is attempted at room temperature. To develop strategies for crack suppression, it is critical to understand the fundamental processes for dislocation-…

Die Grünen sind gegen den Einsatz einer Software der US-Firma #Palantir für die Polizeiarbeit in #BadenWürttemberg. Doch die Polizei im Land ist schon mal aktiv geworden - und hat einen Vertrag mit Palantir geschlossen.

Polizei will umstrittene Software einsetzen: BW-Grüne halten dagegen
Die Polizei will eine Software der Firma Palantir einsetzen - der Firmengründer Peter Thiel unterstützt Trump und gilt als demokratie-kritisch. Die Grünen sind damit nicht einverstanden.

Eine Reise beginnt mit dem Packen. Morgen Abend geht's los mit dem #Flixbus zwei Nächte bis #Burgos. Während mein Vikar im Rahmen der Ausbildung drei Wochen die ganze Gemeindearbeit macht, darf ich pilgern. Diesmal komplett auf mich gestellt, ich bin schon sehr gespannt, wie das klappt. Ihr könnt m…

Series D, Episode 10 - Gold
SOOLIN: This is a pleasure cruiser. It's got no armour.
KEILLER: I told you, it's incognito. Listen, every so often they send up a highly armed ship with security written all over it, bristling with guards. And every so often someone attacks it and gets killed. Which is crazy. Because that ship's carrying fruit. We carry gold with hardly any guards.

Vortex Pinning in Niobium covered by a thin polycrystalline Gold
Owing to its superconducting properties, Niobium (Nb) is an excellent candidate material for superconducting electronics and applications in quantum technology. Here we perform scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy experiments on Nb films covered by a thin gold (Au) film. We investigate the minigap structure of the proximitized region and provide evidence for a highly transparent interface between Nb and Au, beneficial for device applications. Imaging of Abrikosov vortices in presence …

A NICER view of the 1.4 solar-mass edge-on pulsar PSR J0614--3329
Four neutron star radius measurements have already been obtained by modeling the X-ray pulses of rotation-powered millisecond pulsars observed by the Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER). We report here the radius measurement of PSR J0614$-$3329 employing the same method with NICER and XMM-Newton data using Bayesian Inference. For all different models tested, including one with unrestricted inclination prior, we retrieve very similar non-antipodal hot regions geometries and radii.…

Identifying Clean and Contaminated Atomic-Sized Gold Contacts under Ambient Conditions Using a Clustering Algorithm
Molecular electronics studies have advanced from early, simple single-molecule experiments at cryogenic temperatures to complex and multifunctional molecules under ambient conditions. However, room-temperature environments increase the risk of contamination, making it essential to identify and quantify clean and contaminated rupture traces (i.e., conductance versus relative electrode displacement) within large datasets. Given the high throughput of measurements, manual analysis becomes unfeasib…
