Tories Ditched Net Zero Commitment While Receiving £250,000 from Oil Investors and Climate Deniers
The Conservatives received a hefty sum from oil and gas investors and those with roles at anti-climate campaign groups during the period when the party rolled back a key climate commitment. New records released today reveal that Kemi Badenoch’s party accepted £50,000 in January from Neil Record, the chair of Net Zero Watch, the campaign arm […]

Carolabrücke-Neubau: Verkehrsforscher sprechen sich gegen vier Spuren aus
Als überdimensioniert bezeichnen 15 Verkehrsforscher aus ganz Deutschland den Plan, der neuen Carolabrücke wieder vier Autospuren zu geben. Welchen Appell sie an Dresden richten.

OK, so FFOTUS is making noises that he knew about Israel's plans to attack Iran, or that FFOTUS actually approved and supported that attack.
Whether that is true of not, FFOTUS has planted a very dangerous seed.
Now, there is plausible reason for Iran and Islamic radicals to conclude that there is an actual, but undeclared, war by the US on Iran.
Iran is not a stupid country, it knows that it can not directly attack the US, especially with anything nuclear.
But Ir…

Disentangling Electronic and Ionic Nonlinear Polarization Effects in the THz Kerr Response of LaAlO$_{3}$
Nonlinear responses to intense terahertz (THz) fields provide unique insights into complex dynamics of contemporary material systems. However, the interpretation of the obtained data, in particular, distinguishing genuine ionic oscillations from the instantaneous electronic responses in THz Kerr effect remains challenging. Here, we combine two-dimensional Terahertz Kerr effect (2D-TKE) spectroscopy experiments and their modeling to unravel complex THz-induced temporal oscillations in twinned La…

The National Institutes of Health is responsible for more than 80% of the world’s grant investment in biomedical research.
Its funding has sparked countless medical breakthroughs
— on cancer, diabetes, strokes
— and plays a fundamental role in the development of pharmaceutical drugs.
Scientists compete vigorously for a slice of the more than $30 billion that the agency doles out annually;
they can spend years assembling grant applications that stretch thousand…

Science Shattered
The Trump administration cut research funding that sought cures for future pandemics, examined the causes of dementia and tried to prevent HIV transmission. More than 150 researchers shared with ProPublica what is being lost.

qa_user: User interactions on Q&A websites (2016)
Networks of interactions among users from four online Q&A sites: Stack Overflow, Math Overflow, Super User, and Ask Ubuntu. A directed edge (i,j) indicates a user i responded to user j's post. Edges are timestamped. For each Q&A site, four differently defined networks are provided, based on the definition of an edge: (i) a user answered a question, (ii) a user commented on a question, (iii) a user commented on an answer…
