Apple und Perplexity angeblich in Verhandlungen – bis hin zur Übernahme
Apple fehlt es an eigenem KI-Know-how, Produkte verspäten sich. Nun soll einem Bericht zufolge Perplexity helfen – und vielleicht Google auf Distanz halten.

Was nicht kontrolliert werden kann, wird zerstört. https://www.tagesschau.de/eilmeldung/us-regierung-harvard-auslaendische-studierende-100.html

X-ray and Radio Analysis of Abell 1644: Constraints on Cluster Dynamics
We present the first band-2 (120 - 250 MHz) uGMRT (upgraded Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope) observations of the bimodal galaxy cluster Abell 1644 (z = 0.0471), complemented by Chandra X-ray data. While weak lensing measurements reveal a third substructure in Abell 1644, our radio analysis reveals only two compact sources coinciding with the respective brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs) of the northern (A1644N) and southern (A1644S) substructures, seen in the X-ray observations. Radio analysis y…

Electromagnetic radiation by turbulent, magnetized and randomly inhomogeneous solar radio sources generated by electron beams
During Type III solar radio bursts, electromagnetic waves are radiated at plasma frequency $ω_p$ and its harmonics by electrostatic wave turbulence generated by electron beams ejected by Sun in randomly inhomogeneous solar wind and coronal plasmas. These emissions, detected since decades by spacecraft and radiotelescopes, are split by the plasma magnetic field into three modes $\mathcal{X}$, $\mathcal{O}$ and $\mathcal{Z}$ of different dispersion, polarization and radiation properties. This wo…

Can Recombination Displace Dominant Scientific Ideas
Scientific breakthroughs are widely attributed to the novel recombination of existing ideas. Yet despite explosive global growth in scientific labor and publications -- creating more opportunities to reconfigure knowledge -- the rate of breakthroughs has not kept pace. To investigate this disconnect, we analyze 49 million scholarly works from 1960 to 2024 using measures of atypical recombination and disruptive innovation. Contrary to recombination theories, we find a robust negative correlation…
