Life after death: How earthworms keep facilitating carbon capture
Earthworms don't stop shaping soil processes when they die. A new study shows they can still help store carbon in the soil, even after death. "This is quite surprising," says lead author Tullia Calogiuri. "Most of our knowledge about earthworms comes from their activity while alive, such as burrowing, feeding, and producing feces. Finding that they also play a role after death is exciting."

Quantum simulation of carbon capture in periodic metal-organic frameworks
Carbon capture is vital for decarbonizing heavy industries such as steel and chemicals. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with their high surface area and structural tunability, are promising materials for CO2 capture. This study focuses on Fe-MOF-74, a magnetic Mott insulator with exposed metal sites that enhance CO2 adsorption. Its strongly correlated electronic structure challenges standard DFT methods, which often yield inconsistent predictions. We initially benchmark adsorption energies usi…

I know some complain about George R.R. Martin and his speed of writing his book series: he started writing "Song of Ice and Fire" in 1991 and so far published five big books (1996, 1998, 2000, 2005, 2011) with two more planned.
Beginners.
Ever heard of Donald Knuth? He started writing "The Art of Computer Programming" in 1962, planned in 12 chapters. So far, six and a half chapters have been published, in five big books (1968, 1969, 1973, 2011, 2023) with thre…

Learning to Capture Rocks using an Excavator: A Reinforcement Learning Approach with Guiding Reward Formulation
Rock capturing with standard excavator buckets is a challenging task typically requiring the expertise of skilled operators. Unlike soil digging, it involves manipulating large, irregular rocks in unstructured environments where complex contact interactions with granular material make model-based control impractical. Existing autonomous excavation methods focus mainly on continuous media or rely on specialized grippers, limiting their applicability to real-world construction sites. This paper i…

Exploring Neural Amp Modeler
Neural Amp Modeler is based on neural net technology that analyzes a sound and produces a file to reproduce it. The technology is open source, so people can use it to capture amplifier tones and then play instruments through them. There are fancy plugins for Windows and Mac OS, but because I am running Linux Mint, I had to download the file from GitHub and compile it on my machine.

Why draw this strained, misaligned connection? Extending the phrase “state capture” as defined above to describe one state “capturing” another through diplomatic efforts makes little sense — until we remember all the deranged antisemitic conspiracy theories about Jews secretly controlling world governments or whatever.
