What Vance expressed to the friendly Claremont audience was a dramatically reduced vision of American citizenship.
It’s one in which having ancestors who have lived here for generations entitles you to more;
a vision of citizenship that’s long existed around the world, with a notable and aspirational exception in the United States.
“Identifying America just with agreeing with the principles, let’s say, of the Declaration of Independence — that’s a definition that is way ove…

JD Vance: Some Americans Are More American Than Others
The day after President Trump signed a bill that throws unprecedented amounts...

Finished my time-shifted watch of the #USMNT vs Japan from last night. Some thoughts:
I liked the formation change to try a 3-4-3 / 3-5-1 in and ou of possession. The idea of wingbacks is compelling for the talent available. Arfsten & Freeman did well, particularly Arfsten. He should make the World Cup roster, backing up Jedi. Having Ream & Richards paired is winning. Blackmon was good …

Constraining the Resolution Length of Quark-Gluon Plasma with New Jet Substructure Measurements
We show that recent measurements of substructure-dependent jet suppression constrain the value of the resolution length of the droplets of quark-gluon plasma (QGP) formed in heavy ion collisions. This resolution length, $L_{\rm res}$, is defined such that the medium can only resolve partons within a jet shower that are separated by more than $L_{\rm res}$. We first use Hybrid Model calculations to reproduce ALICE measurements of the scaled Soft Drop angle $θ_g$ for anti-$k_t$ $R = 0.2$ jets re…

The JADE code. II. Modeling the coupled orbital and atmospheric evolution of GJ 436 b to constrain its migration and companion
The observed architecture and modeled evolution of close-in exoplanets provide crucial insights into their formation pathways and survival mechanisms. To investigate these fundamental questions, we employed JADE, a comprehensive numerical code that models the coupled evolution of atmospheres and dynamics over secular timescales, rooted in present-day observations. JADE integrates photoevaporation with migration driven by von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai (ZLK) cycles from an external perturber, allowing u…

3D structures of the base of small-scale recurrent jets revealed by Solar orbiter
Solar jets, characterized by small-scale plasma ejections along open magnetic field lines or the legs of large-scale coronal loops, play a crucial role in the dynamics of the solar atmosphere. Although spectral and EUV images have been widely used to analyze the formation and evolution of jets, the detailed 3D structure at the base of the jet has not been studied in detail due to the limitations in the spatial resolution of observations. Solar Orbiter enables us to investigate the structure of …

Isomer- and state-dependent ion--molecule reactions between Coulomb-crystallised Ca$^ $ ions and 1,2-dichloroethene

Isomer- and state-dependent ion--molecule reactions between Coulomb-crystallised Ca$^+$ ions and 1,2-dichloroethene
We report a systematic investigation of isomer- and state-dependent reactions between Coulomb-crystallised laser-cooled Ca$^+$ ions and \emph{cis/trans}-1,2-dichloroethene (DCE) isomers. By manipulating the electronic state populations of Ca$^+$ through tuning of laser cooling parameters, we observed distinct reactivities in its ground and excited states, as well as with the geometric isomers of DCE. Our experiments revealed two primary reaction channels, formation of CaCl$^+$ and C$_2$HCaCl$^+…

Real-Time String Dynamics in a $2 1$D Non-Abelian Lattice Gauge Theory: String Breaking, Glueball Formation, Baryon Blockade, and Tension Reduction

Real-Time String Dynamics in a $2+1$D Non-Abelian Lattice Gauge Theory: String Breaking, Glueball Formation, Baryon Blockade, and Tension Reduction
Understanding flux string dynamics can provide insight into quark confinement and hadronization. First-principles quantum and numerical simulations have mostly focused on toy-model Abelian lattice gauge theories (LGTs). With the advent of state-of-the-art quantum simulation experiments, it is important to bridge this gap and study string dynamics in non-Abelian LGTs beyond one spatial dimension. Using tensor network methods, we simulate the real-time string dynamics of a $2\!+\!1$D SU$(2)$ Yang…
