Sunscreen produces persistent free radicals when exposed to light, study finds
Research from the Department of Environmental Health Sciences explores how common sunscreen ingredients behave under light exposure. Led by associate professor Eric Vejerano, the team tested seven commercially available sunscreens (including four mineral-based formulas) and found that every sample produced persistent free radicals (PFRs) when exposed to artificial light. The study, published in Environmental Science & Technology Letters, provides new insight into sunscreen photochemistry and ma…

Open-source game engine Godot is drowning in 'AI slop' code contributions: 'I don't know how long we can keep it up'
Projects like Godot are being swamped by contributors who may not even understand the code they're submitting.

AI bros are just loving open source — loving it to death... maybe quite literally! (Godot being latest popular example[1])
More and more projects are impacted by floods of bogus AI pull requests and resulting discussions, stealing precious time and nerves away from their maintainers doing actual productive work. More buggy and insecure software (incl. commercial offerings) due to slopcoding, more websites getting attacked daily by AI crawlers in desperate search for any new bits (liter…

#Antifa Das #Kontext-Projekt "Recherche gegen Rechts" beleuchtet rechtsextreme Netzwerke im Südwesten. Dazu gibt die Redaktion eine Broschüre heraus, die ab sofort erhältlich ist. Am 1. März stellen beteiligte Autor:innen die neue Publikation im Stuttgarter Café Merlin vor.

>Abkehr vom Profitdenken: Die Suche nach krisenfesten Wirtschaftsformen
Die reale Welt als Versuchslabor: Transformative Forschung analysiert nicht nur, sie verändert aktiv. Im Projekt SWITCH begleiten Dresdner Wissenschaftler 30 solidarische Initiativen aus verschiedensten Branchen in der Praxis. Sie wollen herausfinden, wie alternative und krisenfeste Unternehmensformen funktionieren, die sich vom reinen Wachstumszwang ver…

Gemeinschaft statt Gewinn: Die Suche nach krisenfesten Wirtschaftsformen
Globale Krisen zeigen die Schwächen unseres Wirtschaftssystems. Ein Forschungsprojekt erprobt nun mit Praxispartnern, wie regionale Netzwerke ohne Profitdruck die Grundversorgung sichern können.

TweetyBERT parses canary songs to better understand how brains learn language
A new machine learning model, TweetyBERT, automatically segments and classifies canary vocalizations with expert-level accuracy, offering a scalable platform for neuroscience, providing insights into the neural basis of how the brain learns and produces language, and offering potential applications for understanding animal vocalization more broadly. The study by University of Oregon researchers appears in the journal Patterns.

Didn’t think the end of western civilization would happen because a career criminal doesn’t understand Mercator projection but here we are

The English in this article is so poor, there are several paragraphs I had to read several times to get any sense out of them. AI or the four(!) reporters named? Interesting topic, but nothing much added in this piece.

Pentagon bought device through undercover operation some investigators suspect is linked to Havana Syndrome
The Defense Department has spent more than a year testing a device purchased in an undercover operation that some investigators think could be the cause of a series of mysterious ailments impacting spies, diplomats and troops that are colloquially known as Havana Syndrome, according to four sources briefed on the matter.

Eigentlich hat das Gasometer etwas besseres Verdient, als nur ein schnödes Parkhaus zu werden...

Mit Parkhaus in einem Gasometer: Dresden plant Ort für Kultur und Wissenschaft
Seit Jahren liegen die Flächen rund um die historischen Gasometer in Dresden brach. Ein Innovationscampus soll das Areal mit Kultur und Wissenschaft beleben. Geplant sind unter anderem zwei Hochhäuser sowie Parkmöglichkeiten in einem Gasometer.
