Geheimer Masken-Bericht - "Team Ich" statt "Team Staat"
In bislang unbekannten Teilen des Sonderberichts zu Masken-Bestellungen werden schwere Versäumnisse des Gesundheitsministeriums unter Jens Spahn aufgezählt. Die Rede ist von einem "Drama in Milliarden-Höhe", so Recherchen von NDR, WDR und SZ.

Synergistic control of radical generation in a radio frequency atmospheric pressure plasma jet via voltage waveform tailoring and structured electrodes
The synergy between voltage waveform tailoring and structured electrodes is investigated in a radio-frequency (RF) atmospheric-pressure microplasma jet operated in helium with a 0.1% oxygen admixture. The device incorporates rectangular trenches in both electrodes and is driven by "Peaks" and "Valleys" waveforms synthesized from four harmonics (base frequency $f_{\rm b} = 13.56$~MHz, $V_{\rm pp} = 500$~V, $P=$1.2~W). Two-dimensional plasma fluid simulations, together with spatially and temporal…

Splashback radius and the mass accretion rate of RASS MCMF galaxy clusters
We present measurements of the radial profile of mass and galaxy number density around X-ray selected ROSAT All Sky Survey-Multi-Component Matched Filter galaxy clusters using Year 3 data from the Dark Energy Survey. We measure the projected cross-correlation signal of the RedMaGiC "high density" galaxies around an approximately volume-limited sample of 255 galaxy clusters at a median redshift of $z=0.4$ and an X-ray luminosity $L_X > 10^{44} \,\text{ergs} \, \text{s}^{-1} \, \text{h}^{-2}$.

Discovery and Localization of the Swift-Observed FRB 20241228A in a Star-forming Host Galaxy
On 2024 December 28, CHIME/FRB detected the thus-far non-repeating FRB 20241228A with a real-time signal-to-noise ratio of $>50$. Approximately 112~s later, the X-ray Telescope onboard the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory was on source, the fastest follow-up to-date of a non-repeating FRB (Tohuvavohu et al. in prep.). Using CHIME/FRB and two of the three CHIME/FRB Outriggers, we obtained a Very Long Baseline Interferometry localization for FRB 20241228A with a 1$σ$ confidence ellipse of 11$^{\pr…

Synopsis: Secure and private trend inference from encrypted semantic embeddings
WhatsApp and many other commonly used communication platforms guarantee end-to-end encryption (E2EE), which requires that service providers lack the cryptographic keys to read communications on their own platforms. WhatsApp's privacy-preserving design makes it difficult to study important phenomena like the spread of misinformation or political messaging, as users have a clear expectation and desire for privacy and little incentive to forfeit that privacy in the process of handing over raw data…

XMAD-Bench: Cross-Domain Multilingual Audio Deepfake Benchmark
Recent advances in audio generation led to an increasing number of deepfakes, making the general public more vulnerable to financial scams, identity theft, and misinformation. Audio deepfake detectors promise to alleviate this issue, with many recent studies reporting accuracy rates close to 99%. However, these methods are typically tested in an in-domain setup, where the deepfake samples from the training and test sets are produced by the same generative models. To this end, we introduce XMAD-…

"Journalism screwed itself over by betting
on Meta and its profit-over-society peers.
Now, nobody trusts “the media” and
everyone is going bankrupt. The next bet
is on generative AI, with its inability to
distinguish truth from “hallucinations” –
fabrications that on the page become lies.
The Continent is an attempt to prove
journalism can be done differently.
Expect more of this in what our team
has decided to call our “serious era”.
We’re no longer a start-up. We’re going
to empower more people with quality
journalism. We’re going to help others
launch newspapers. We’re going to
stay sane. And we’re going to prove
that African excellence can set global
standards."

Electronegativity effects on plasma dynamics in He/O$_2$ RF microplasma jets at atmospheric pressure
This work investigates the transitions between ohmic mode and Penning-Gamma mode in a capacitively coupled radio frequency micro atmospheric pressure plasma jets (CCRF $μ$APPJ) operated in He/O$_2$ mixtures by comparing phase-resolved optical emission spectroscopy (PROES) measurements of helium excitation with numerical simulations. The simulations employ a hybrid model that treats electrons kinetically via PIC/MCC, while ions and neutrals are modeled fluid dynamically. These results reveal th…
