Ein neuer #Kühlbeton reflektiert bis zu 96 Prozent des Sonnenlichts und kann Gebäude ohne #Klimaanlage spürbar abkühlen.
Entwickelt wurde er von einem internationalen Forschungsteam, auch mit Beteiligung der TU

Kühlbeton - Innovation gegen Hitze in Gebäuden
Beton, der Sonnenlicht reflektiert und so Gebäude und Straßen abkühlen kann - eine Innovation im Bereich der Klimaanpassung. Das internationale Forscherteam hat seine Ergebnisse jetzt veröffentlicht.

Hey all, there are some photos from a hike in the #schwarzwald
Actually we thought that it would just take us less than an hour - but it wasn't simply a straight walk :-D
It was raining from time to time - which was indeed pretty cool. A) there was noone around except us and B) the colors were often just insane. Fully saturated green, the brown from the wood - and sometimes…

It’s a replay of January 6
where Trump spent months saying what he was going to do
and virtually every Official Serious Person in America laughed it off
because, if he was being honest, that would mean he intended a coup
and obviously THAT wasn’t going to happen

I’m so proud of my little brother.
I just spoke to him in his dorm room at a top 30 college here in the US, he just arrived for freshman orientation.
He got in on a full ride - tuition, housing, food, books, travel, stipend for daily expenses. Won a competitive scholarship to do so.
More than that, he’s had a tougher road than most to get there:
- he had to suddenly move away from Manila, Philippines (where he grew up) in middle school because of COVID restrictions that didn’t let kids go outside (2020)
- then, just as he adjusted to school and a different language in our home country, Ukraine, Russia invaded (2022)
- he stayed in Greece for a month while I was calling our congressional representative here in NY and negotiating with the US embassy to get them a visa ASAP to enter the US and be with me and my husband. There were no paths for Ukrainian refugees yet, we just wanted them with us temporarily for a few months to figure out what options they even had next.
- he had to wait, not going to school, with no clue where they’d move next, until TPS became available to Ukrainians and they got to stay here in the US
- then he had to continue high school in yet another system, yet another country, amidst news of bombings and destruction back home
- my mother wasn’t allowed to work for months while their documents were pending, so we had to raise money with a public GoFundMe campaign and my husband and I maxed out our credit cards to help them get by
- they shared a one-room cottage for the first year, graciously hosted for free by an elderly local couple
- he saw a therapist who also graciously took him in for free while they didn’t have insurance
- he had to graduate high school amidst news of other immigrant students getting arrested, detained, and deported at their own graduations around the country
- he wasn’t sure if he would even make it to college as this administration publicly considered canceling TPS for Ukrainians and cutting off their pathway to maintaining legal status.
We don’t know what tomorrow holds. But he’s there. He’s on campus. He got to go to college.
I love him so much.

MCTR: Midpoint Corrected Triangulation for Autonomous Racing via Digital Twin Simulation in CARLA
In autonomous racing, reactive controllers eliminate the computational burden of the full See-Think-Act autonomy stack by directly mapping sensor inputs to control actions. This bypasses the need for explicit localization and trajectory planning. A widely adopted baseline in this category is the Follow-The-Gap method, which performs trajectory planning using LiDAR data. Building on FTG, the Delaunay Triangulation-based Racing algorithm introduces further enhancements. However, DTR's use of circ…

At no other time in modern history has a country so thoroughly turned its back on its core national strengths.
With devastating cuts to science and health research,
the administration is turning its back on a history of being powered and renewed by the innovation and vision of immigrants.
What America may find is that we have squandered the greatest gift from the Manhattan Project
— which, in the end, wasn’t the bomb
— but a new way of looking at how science a…

Opinion | Trump Is Squandering the Greatest Gift of the Manhattan Project
The U.S. risks not just being left behind, but out of the game entirely.
