Potrero Yard working group has an open seat for a representative of a senior-serving organization, if that’s you or someone you know.
The group advises SFMTA on the bus yard modernization housing development on the Mission/Potrero Hill border

In the final talk of the morning sessions of the #SolarEclipse Conference Thoby Dittrich talked about the Modern Eddington Experiment (the website https://moderneddingtonexperiment.org is under heavy construction): the best observing result of gravitational deflection of starlight by the Sun in the optical during solar eclipses is still Brun's from 2017 - https://arxiv.org/abs/1802.00343 - while others have tried with a vengeance since. The goal remains to observe the significant deflection of star positions between 1 and 2 solar radii from the center of the Sun: this is known as the 'forbidden zone' because the corona can be very bright here and only bright stars can be measured reliably - but those in turn are rare. It turns out that the star fields around the totally eclipsed Sun in 2027 and 2028 will be unusually rich in good candidates so there is (or should be) considerable interest in the physics didactics community to make use of these eclipses in southern Spain / northern Africa and Australia, respectively. 4/n

Telemedizin: Patientenversorgung braucht einfach zugängliche Kommunikationswege
Die Deutsche Gesellschaft für Telemedizin fordert mehr digitale Vernetzung und Telemonitoring für eine lückenlose und moderne Patientenversorgung.

Who is realistically going to carry around a second digital camera with them? Of course cameras are better than smartphones, but the best camera is the one you have with you at the moment.
I've taken thousands of photos that I never would have thanks to my iphone.

Band Meandering due to Charged Impurity Effects and Carrier Transport in Ternary Topological Insulators
In this study, we investigated the impact of charged impurities on the electrical properties of the topological insulator $\left(\mathrm{Bi}_{0.3} \mathrm{Sb}_{0.7}\right)_2 \mathrm{Te}_3$ (BST) and its indium-doped counterpart, $\mathrm{In}_{0.14}\left(\mathrm{Bi}_{0.3} \mathrm{Sb}_{0.7}\right)_{1.86} \mathrm{Te}_3$ (IBST), using field-effect gating. For thin BST (30 nm), charged impurities, potentially from silicon dioxide substrate traps, contribute to band tail-type localization, with the i…

I realize that last paragraph sounds completely made up, like some unhinged conspiracy theory nonsense or at best grossly decontextualized history. It’s not. It’s true.
The auto industry built •social infrastructure• for car dominance before building the full •physical infrastructure• for it.

The ALMA Survey of Gas Evolution of PROtoplanetary Disks (AGE-PRO): III. Dust and Gas Disk Properties in the Lupus Star-forming Region
We present Band 6 and Band 7 observations of 10 Lupus disks around M3-K6 stars from the ALMA survey of Gas Evolution in PROtoplanetary disks (AGE-PRO) Large Program. In addition to continuum emission in both bands, our Band 6 setup covers the $\mathrm{{}^{12}CO}$, $\mathrm{{}^{13}CO}$ and $\mathrm{C^{18}O}\,J$=2-1 lines, while our Band 7 setup covers the $\mathrm{N_2H^+}\,J$=3-2 line. All of our sources are detected in $\mathrm{{}^{12}CO}$ and $\mathrm{{}^{13}CO}$, 7 out of 10 are detected in $…
