How to Favicon in 2025: Three files that fit most needs
It’s time to rethink how we cook a set of favicons for modern browsers and stop the icon generator madness. Frontend developers currently have to deal with 20 static PNG files just to display a tiny website logo in a browser tab or on a touchscreen. Read on to see how to take a smarter approach and adopt a minimal set of icons that fits most modern needs.

Love this, by D.J. Grothe
We are truly only just getting started. All we have to do is to fail to kill everyone, and things will get better.
"Human civilization has existed for only 3% of the time that anatomically modern humans have existed. And modern industrial civilization has existed for just 2% of that 3% — just 0.06% of the time that anatomically modern humans have existed. Maybe we’re just getting started!"

Decays of the vector charmonium and bottomonium hybrids
The full widths of the vector charmonium and bottomonium hybrid mesons $H_{ \mathrm{c}}$ and $H_{\mathrm{b}}$, characterized by the quantum numbers $1^{ \mathrm{--}}$, are determined by analyzing their dominant strong decay modes: $H_{\mathrm{c}} \to D^{+}D^{-}$, $D_{0}\overline{D}_{0}$, $ D_{s}^{+}D_{s}^{-} $ and $H_{\mathrm{b}} \to B^{+}B^{-}$, $B_{0}\overline{B} _{0}$. To evaluate the partial widths of these channels, we employ the QCD three-point sum rule approach, which provides a reliable…

Realised I never mentioned my wonderful husband, who keeps the home front running and without whom little of my field science would be possible.
Thankyou. You know who you are. #WomenInSTEM

Frustrated vacancy ordering creates novel quantum properties in Kutinaite, $\mathrm{Ag}_{6}\mathrm{Cu}_{14.4}\mathrm{As}_7$
Ideal crystals are fully ordered, but real-world crystals always contain defects breaking translational symmetry. Random defects in crystals have important implications and they e.g. provide the foundation for semiconductor-based electronic devices. Structurally correlated defects introduce an additional level of complexity, which may lead to novel materials properties, but rationalization of relations between correlated disorder and the emergent material properties are very rare. Here we repor…

William F Buckley was the leading intellectual architect of the modern conservative movement — indeed, he personified it for more than 50 years.
But by what reasoning could Trump rightfully claim a connection with him?
Outwardly, Mr. Buckley, with his patrician manner, salon wit and gold-plated vocabulary, his passion for Bach and connoisseur’s taste for fine writing, could not have been less like Donald Trump.
And in policy terms, Trump’s love of tariffs, defense of ent…
