Recycling History: Efficient Recommendations from Contextual Dueling Bandits
The contextual duelling bandit problem models adaptive recommender systems, where the algorithm presents a set of items to the user, and the user's choice reveals their preference. This setup is well suited for implicit choices users make when navigating a content platform, but does not capture other possible comparison queries. Motivated by the fact that users provide more reliable feedback after consuming items, we propose a new bandit model that can be described as follows. The algorithm rec…

Informal e-waste recycling in Pakistan: A hidden environmental crisis
When I began my research on electronic waste in Pakistan, I quickly realized how deeply it touches both our environment and our daily lives. We live in an age where technology evolves faster than ever—phones, laptops, and televisions are replaced at a breathtaking pace. But what happens to the old ones? For many in developing nations like mine, the answer lies in informal recycling practices.

We have to talk about burning trash🗑️🔥
Waste incinerators / waste-to-energy plants that generate electricity and heat are an enormous and often underestimated source of CO2 🏭💨🌎. For example, in Germany, a country where waste-to-energy plants are common, their emissions are higher than those of cement.
Waste incinerator operators will often claim that half of their emissions don't count 🌿 or even that they already have net-negative emissions 🌎. I disagree with both 🧵

Just Stop Burning Trash
Waste-to-energy plants are a massive source of carbon dioxide emissions. Yet, it is not obvious what the best solution for high-emitting incinerators would be. Should incinerators be equiped with carbon capture? How much can recycling rates be improved, and what role should chemical recycling play? And could landfills be a carbon storage solution?

TLGLock: A New Approach in Logic Locking Using Key-Driven Charge Recycling in Threshold Logic Gates
Logic locking remains one of the most promising defenses against hardware piracy, yet current approaches often face challenges in scalability and design overhead. In this paper, we present TLGLock, a new design paradigm that leverages the structural expressiveness of Threshold Logic Gates (TLGs) and the energy efficiency of charge recycling to enforce key-dependent functionality at the gate level. By embedding the key into the gate's weighted logic and utilizing dynamic charge sharing, TLGLock …

Postcard from California: Plastics ‘recycling’ – out of sight, out of mind
By Bill Walker Last year California shipped more than 156 million pounds of plastic waste to poor countries, with almost three-fourths sent to Mexico and another 44 million pounds sent to developing nations in Asia, Latin America, and Africa. That’s the reality behind the blue recycling bins Californians fill with plastic waste for curbside pickup. We may think we’re recycling, but we’re really sending much of our waste out of sight, out of mind.

Why recycling solar panels is harder than you might think
It's hard work soaking up sunlight to generate clean electricity. After about 25 to 30 years, solar panels wear out. Over the years, heating and cooling cycles stress the materials. Small cracks develop, precipitation corrodes the frame and layers of materials can start to peel apart.

Optical Cavity in Relativistic Regime for Laser Propulsion
Laser propulsion has been proposed for relativistic interstellar flights, but it faces the significant challenge of requiring extremely powerful laser radiation due to the inherently low momentum transfer between the beam and the sail. The photon-recycling technique enhances thrust by transferring momentum through multiple reflections within a cavity setup, formed by the lightsail and a ground-based mirror in a laser system array. In this work, a delay differential model is developed to describ…

Reusing EV batteries for energy storage can offer greater carbon savings than direct recycling
When electric vehicle (EV) batteries reach the end of their service life, they can be recycled to recover valuable raw materials for the production of new batteries. Alternatively, retired EV batteries can be repurposed for use as stationary energy storage systems, helping to integrate renewable energy into the power grid, manage peak loads, and enhance energy security.

Recycling Algebraic Proof Certificates
Proof certificates can be used to validate the correctness of algebraic derivations. However, in practice, we frequently observed that the exact same proof steps are repeated for different sets of variables, which leads to unnecessarily large proofs. To overcome this issue we extend the existing Practical Algebraic Calculus with linear combinations (LPAC) with two new proof rules that allow us to capture and reuse parts of the proof to derive a more condensed proof certificate. We integrate the…
