Members of the Congressional Black Caucus urged more than 250 companies, including Amazon, Apple, Google, Meta, Starbucks and Tesla, to condemn recent redistricting efforts in Republican-led states.

From @theathletic.com: There are a record number of 28 mothers rostered this season in the National Women’s Soccer League. There is growing recognition that pregnancy does not signal the end or pause of a playing career, but rather an active chapter within it. nyti.ms/4u41cn3

Many people know the story about the Margherita pizza being created for the queen in the 1890s. The story has a lot of holes in it including the fact that the pizza was around for decades by then. I tried making one based on a description from the 1850s and it’s amazing. youtu.be/7oHqZbOjl48?...

The four richest Californians paid 0.07 percent of their wealth in income tax from 2019 to 2025. A trailblazing tax on billionaire wealth could change that, write two economists who advised on the measure.

A large-scale study of human mobility and wildlife movement across the United States suggests that the day-to-day presence of humans is a major ecological force that shapes how animals move through and use their environments, researchers report in Science. https://scim.ag/4fCx7Y5

I've spent a lot of time at the world's leading institutes in my field & while they haven't all been particularly supportive of diversity as a social good, at none of them could you go to the institute coffee break and find more than a small handful of researchers sharing a common country of origin.

The U.S. research community is asking the Senate to do something it hasn’t done in more than 3 decades: Hold a hearing on the president’s nominee to lead the National Science Foundation before voting on whether to confirm him. https://scim.ag/4dWgoxE

Q-LEAK uses Grover's algorithm to verify power side-channel countermeasures in cryptographic hardware, achieving theoretical O(√N) speedup versus classical O(2^n). Validated on 5-7 variable benchmarks and real quantum hardware; demonstrates quantum-classical verification pathway.

I cannot begin to express my profoundly naughty desire to use this otherwise completely pedantic study, to convince some MAGA loon that “teh gays” are using quantum computing tech to encrypt seeeeecrets in the cloud. I am resisting the impulse. For now.

Researchers demonstrate dissipative time quasicrystals through multilevel interference without external driving. The system exhibits two incommensurate frequencies and nonchaotic dynamics on a torus—enabling higher-dimensional quasiperiodic order in driven-dissipative many-bod...
