TSMC to Win More Than $5 Billion in Grants for US Chip Plant
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. is set to win more than $5 billion in federal grants to support a chipmaking project in Arizona, according to people familiar with the matter, in what would mark a major milestone in President Joe Biden’s effort to revitalize American semiconductor manufacturing.

ASKAP$-$EMU Discovery of "Raspberry": a new Galactic SNR Candidate G308.73+1.38
We report the ASKAP discovery of a new Galactic supernova remnant (SNR) candidate G308.73+1.38, which we name Raspberry. This new SNR candidate has an angular size of 20.7 arcmin $\times$ 16.7 arcmin, and we measure a total integrated flux of 407$\pm$50 mJy. We estimate Raspberry's most likely diameter of 10$-$30 pc which would place it at a distance of 3$-$5 kpc, on the near side of the Milky Way's Scutum$-$Centaurus Arm. We also find a Stokes$-$V point source close to the centre of Raspberry …

Minimal hyperbolic polynomials and ranks of homogeneous cones
The starting point of this paper is the computation of minimal hyperbolic polynomials of duals of cones arising from chordal sparsity patterns. From that, we investigate the relation between ranks of homogeneous cones and their minimal polynomials. Along the way, we answer in the negative a question posed in an earlier paper and show examples of homogeneous cones that cannot be realized as rank-one generated (ROG) hyperbolicity cones.

Arizona Dem says state is bluer 'not because Arizona is necessarily a blue state,' but from distaste for GOP 'extremism'

Arizona has become bluer due to rejection of 'extreme' GOP: lawmaker
Arizona, a key target for both Biden and Trump this fall, has become ground-zero for major issues like immigration and reproductive rights.

No anomalous dissipation in two-dimensional incompressible fluids

No anomalous dissipation in two-dimensional incompressible fluids
We prove that any sequence of vanishing viscosity Leray--Hopf solutions to the periodic two-dimensional incompressible Navier--Stokes equations does not display anomalous dissipation if the initial vorticity is a measure with positive singular part. A key step in the proof is the use of the Delort--Majda concentration-compactness argument to exclude formation of atoms in the vorticity measure, which in particular implies that the limiting velocity is an admissible weak solution to Euler.

The MOST Hosts Survey: spectroscopic observation of the host galaxies of ~40,000 transients using DESI
We present the MOST Hosts survey (Multi-Object Spectroscopy of Transient Hosts). The survey is planned to run throughout the five years of operation of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and will generate a spectroscopic catalog of the hosts of most transients observed to date, in particular all the supernovae observed by most public, untargeted, wide-field, optical surveys (PTF/iPTF, SDSS II, ZTF, DECAT, DESIRT). Scientific questions for which the MOST Hosts survey will be useful …

'Actions have consequences': 3-judge appeals panel shoots down GOP’s First Amendment walkout defense
In 2022, Oregon voters approved Ballot Measure 113, agreeing that state lawmakers with ten or more unexcused absences should be barred from seeking reelection. The measure was designed to deter members of the Oregon State Legislature from walking off the job as a way of protesting policies they didn...
