Jagd auf Mikroplastik: Französische Wissenschaftler schlagen Alarm wegen Plastikverschmutzung
Wir essen, atmen und trinken es, aber wir wissen noch immer nicht alles darüber. Wir sprechen über Mikroplastik. Es ist gefährlich für die Umwelt und für unsere Gesundheit. Es kann giftige Substanzen aufnehmen und sich leicht in die Nahrungskette einnisten. Was tut die Europäische Union dagegen? #EuropeansStories

If you've watched a YouTube video in the last few years, you know this is going to work. 😂 Who isn't holding their microphone these days? https://www.threads.com/@chriswelch/post/DOvmOquDkIa

Nothing's Ear 3 earbuds add some metal flair to the company's signature transparent look. But their biggest new trick is the ability to use the charging case as a microphone for clearer voice calls. ...Is that something you'd do? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-09-18/nothing-debuts-179-ear-3-earbuds-with-microphone-in-the-charging-case?srnd=phx-technology

Tidal marshes trap microplastics, raising risks for ecosystems and people
Freshwater tidal marshes, critical for wildlife and coastal protection, are now serving as microplastic catch basins, according to a team of researchers at Penn State. They recently found that these marshes trap large amounts of diverse plastics, with concentrations and ecological risks increasing downstream.

Satellite Signal Detection via Rydberg-Atom Receiver
Rydberg-atom receivers aim for ultra-high sensitivity to microwave fields through various techniques, but receiving satellite signals has remained a significant challenge, due to the difficulty of capturing weak microwaves over long distances. In this work, we introduce a high-gain antenna to focus satellite signals, and then apply into an atomic cell via a microwave cavity. Using microwave-enhanced coupling, the minimum detectable power of incident microwave is down to -128 dBm, and the corres…

There's another season of "Made in Abyss" on Netflix!
The show was an incredible bait and switch. It had this cutesy look and a very interesting world to explore. But each episode got darker end the end of season 1 was pure body horror.

MIMO Systems Aided by Microwave Linear Analog Computers: Capacity-Achieving Architectures with Reduced Circuit Complexity
To meet the demands of future wireless networks, antenna arrays must scale from massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) to gigantic MIMO, involving even larger numbers of antennas. To address the hardware and computational cost of gigantic MIMO, several strategies are available that shift processing from the digital to the analog domain. Among them, microwave linear analog computers (MiLACs) offer a compelling solution by enabling fully analog beamforming through reconfigurable microwave …

Detecting Hardware Trojans in Microprocessors via Hardware Error Correction Code-based Modules
Software-exploitable Hardware Trojans (HTs) enable attackers to execute unauthorized software or gain illicit access to privileged operations. This manuscript introduces a hardware-based methodology for detecting runtime HT activations using Error Correction Codes (ECCs) on a RISC-V microprocessor. Specifically, it focuses on HTs that inject malicious instructions, disrupting the normal execution flow by triggering unauthorized programs. To counter this threat, the manuscript introduces a Hardw…

Generation of frequency-bin-encoded dual-rail cluster states via time-frequency multiplexing of microwave photonic qubits
Cluster states are a class of multi-qubit entangled states with broad applications such as quantum metrology and one-way quantum computing. Here, we present a protocol to generate frequency-bin-encoded dual-rail cluster states using a superconducting circuit consisting of a fixed-frequency transmon qubit, a resonator and a Purcell filter. We implement time-frequency multiplexing by sequentially emitting co-propagating microwave photons of distinct frequencies. The frequency-bin dual-rail encodi…
