Golden Gate method enables fully-synthetic engineering of therapeutically relevant bacteriophages
Bacteriophages have been used therapeutically to treat infectious bacterial diseases for over a century. As antibiotic-resistant infections increasingly threaten public health, interest in bacteriophages as therapeutics has seen a resurgence. However, the field remains largely limited to naturally occurring strains, as laborious strain engineering techniques have limited the pace of discovery and the creation of tailored therapeutic strains.

Sunlight, water and air power a cleaner method for making hydrogen peroxide
Cornell scientists have discovered a potentially transformative approach to manufacturing one of the world's most widely used chemicals—hydrogen peroxide—using nothing more than sunlight, water and air. The research is published in the journal Nature Communications.

Another evening of filter refactoring and optimization, a few more nice performance jumps.
I've now done a first pass (remove deprecated method signatures, add explicit input location, add NVTX trace data, do easy GPU optimization if I see an obvious low effort win) on all filters A-F alphabetically plus a few later on that were priorities for one reason or other.
90 down (of which 23 were optimized and the rest just refactored), 115 to go.
Some of the remaining ones sh…

The Trump administration is closing NASA’s largest research library on Friday,
a facility that houses tens of thousands of books, documents and journals
— many of them not digitized or available anywhere else.
Jacob Richmond,
a NASA spokesman, said the agency would review the library holdings over the next 60 days
and some material would be stored in a government warehouse
while the rest would be tossed away.
“This process is an established method th…

Research Library at NASA’s Goddard Space and Flight Center to Close Friday
Holdings from the library at the Goddard Space Flight Center, which includes unique documents from the early 20th century to the Soviet space race, will be warehoused or thrown out.

Donald Trump said he is looking to sue author Michael Wolff for “conspiring” with dead sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein to wreck his political career.
Trump shared his plan while speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Saturday night, one day after the latest batch of files on Epstein were released.
Trump was asked what he thinks of the latest release and whether his critics will be “satisfied” when he went off on Wolff.
“Well they should be, because it looked like this guy…
