Degrowth, fears and euphemisms
Reflections beyond growth: Degrowth, fears and euphemisms Álex López translated by Mark Burton In the series Prospects for Degrowth Republished from revista 15/15\15 Reflecting on the Beyond Growth Conference. Madrid, 2025 The Beyond Growth Conference document offers us a promising future: less production, less consumption... but, curiously, more public services, more rights, more democracy, more of everything good and none of the bad.

Searching for GEMS: TOI-5349b is a Saturn-like planet orbiting a metal-rich early M-dwarf
We report the confirmation and analysis of TOI-5349b, a transiting, warm, Saturn-like planet orbiting an early M-dwarf with a period of $\sim$3.3 days, which we confirmed as part of the Searching for GEMS (Giant Exoplanets around M-dwarf Stars) survey. TOI-5349b was initially identified in photometry from NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) mission and subsequently confirmed using high-precision radial velocity (RV) measurements from the Habitable-zone Planet Finder (HPF) and MA…

Design, development, and commissioning of a flexible test setup for the AXIS prototype detector
The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite (AXIS) is one of two candidate mission concepts selected for Phase-A study for the new NASA Astrophysics Probe Explorer (APEX) mission class, with a planned launch in 2032. The X-ray camera for AXIS is under joint development by the X-ray Astronomy and Observational Cosmology (XOC) Group at Stanford, the MIT Kavli Institute (MKI), and MIT Lincoln Laboratory (MIT-LL). To accelerate development efforts and meet the AXIS mission requirements, XOC has developed …

Linking Young Stellar Object Morphology to Evolutionary Stages with Self-Organizing Maps
Studies in the past few decades have investigated young stellar object evolution based on their spectral energy distribution (SED). The SED is heavily influenced not only by evolutionary stage, but also the morphology of the young star. This work is part of the NEMESIS project which is aiming to revisit star formation with the aid of machine learning techniques and provides the framework for this work. In a first effort towards a novel spectro-morphological classification we analyzed young stel…

Fostering cultural change in research through innovative knowledge sharing, evaluation, and community engagement strategies
Scientific research needs a new system that appropriately values science and scientists. Key innovations, within institutions and funding agencies, are driving better assessment of research, with open knowledge and FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable) principles as central pillars. Furthermore, coalitions, agreements, and robust infrastructures have emerged to promote more accurate assessment metrics and efficient knowledge sharing. However, despite these efforts, the system…

"For my friends everything, for my critics, the law."
#indictment comes 2 months after #FBI agents found documents labeled “confidential”in Bolton's Washington, DC office that referenced WMDs, unsealed court records show. It was not immediately clear whether the charges prosecutors would seek were related to those documents.
If the #GrandJury decides to indict #JohnBolton [it will, ham sandwich & all], it would mark the 3rd time in recent weeks that the #DOJ has secured #criminal charges against one of #Trump's critics.
