Ultrafast Spatial Hole Burning Dynamics in Monolayer WS2: Insights from Time-resolved Photoluminescence Spectroscopy
The transport of excitons lies at the heart of excitonic devices. Probing, understanding, and manipulating excitonic transport represents a critical step prior to their technological applications. In this work, we report experimental studies on the ultrafast nonlinear transport of excitons in monolayer WS2. Under intense optical pumping, we observed an ultrafast spatial hole burning effect in the excitonic emission profile, followed by a re-brightening at even higher pumping density. By means o…

Calamus 34 I dreamed in a dream
On the surface this short poem is a sort of City on a Hill vision. But I'm going to go with a more radical reading.
This poem reads to me as a fantasy of a gay society. A city of men, lovers, set apart from the rest of the world.
a city invincible to the attacks of the whole of the rest of the earth ...
the quality of robust love ...
the actions of the men of that city
And in all their looks and words.
I can't plausibly argue Whitman conceived of a city set apart in the way I imagine. Although all of Calamus is him constructing the idea of a society of lovers, comrades, brothers, robust love. That to me is very gay.
Intriguingly, in the unpublished Live Oak draft of this poem it is even more explicitly gay:
I saw them tenderly love each other ...
Nothing was greater there than manly love
It seems to me he dreamed a very gay city.

Einstein Probe Discovery of EP J182730.0-095633: A New Black Hole X-ray Binary Candidate in Faint Outburst?
Black hole X-ray binaries (candidates) currently identified in our galaxy are mainly transient sources, with the majority discovered through the detection of their X-ray outbursts. Among these, only four were found during faint outbursts exhibiting peak X-ray luminosities $L_{\rm X}\lesssim10^{36}~{\rm erg~s^{-1}}$, likely due to the previous lack of sensitive, wide-field monitoring instruments in the X-ray band. In this Letter, we present the discovery of an intriguing X-ray transient, EP J182…

steamy sunday on the lower east side with garcia peoples, the 2nd installment of their weekly july gig at piano's. new tunes, twin guitar zaps, & a few dips into the inner oceans (plus "holy mountain" screening behind them for extra zoneiness). #nyc

I installed #iOS26 on my personal phone for the first time (dev beta3) and hoooly moly the UI design is as bad as everyone has been saying—and worse. Frustrations in the first day: functional content viewports noticeably smaller on my Mini display; lower info density everywhere; buttons over photos completely illegible; diffraction effects incredibly distracting; low/no-contrast UI boundaries with…

Optical Control of Fluorescence Spatial Hole Burning Effect in Monolayer WS2
Doping plays a crucial role in both electrical and optical properties of semiconductors. In this work, we report observation, as well as optical control, of fluorescence spatial hole burning effect in monolayer WS2. We demonstrate that the pronounced exciton-exciton annihilation process, in combination with the efficient capture of holes by intrinsic sulfur vacancy defects, induces significant photo-doping effect and eventually leads to fluorescence spatial hole burning. By means of a dual-beam…
