Global heating has accelerated from a steady rate of less than 0.2C/decade between 1970-2015 to ~0.35C/decade over the past 10 years. The rate is higher than scientists have seen since they started taking the Earth’s temperature in 1880. @rahmstorf.bsky.social

Maryland is one of several states that are reporting cases of the infectious disease mumps, suggesting the return of diseases—like measles—that vaccines protect against

The Large Hadron Collider (#LHC) is gearing up to resume proton collisions. In this concluding physics run of #LHCRun3, proton beams will once again be delivered to the LHC experiments.
BYD's new Flash chargers are capable of delivering 1,500 kilowatts of power, enough to charge an EV to 97% in just nine minutes.
“You have a lot of people here for whom the risk of extreme flooding is much higher than people thought’' - @alevermann.bsky.social comments on a new study showing that baseline calculations for coastal water levels have been underestimated in a majority of studies.

amazing to explicitly say "we'll be fine with domestic surveillance"
“This is private data on a private computer and they made the architectural choice to hold access to that data. They absolutely should be treating it like something that belongs to the user,” says @matthewdgreen.bsky.social.
“If Apple can do it, if Google can do it, then Microsoft can do it.”
I heard an interesting anecdote about TEEs from some folks in fintech. They were trying to convince regulators that TEEs aren’t just “computers under their control”, so they tried to get cloud providers to certify that they would never hand over the keys to a client. Providers could not do this.

"We also expect to support “traditional” X.509 certificates with quantum-resistant algorithms for use only in private PKIs (i.e., those not included in the Chrome Root Store) later this year."
This mind-bending relativity illusion has never been seen—until now.
Using ultrafast lasers and a 300-picosecond camera, researchers at the University of Vienna and Vienna University of Technology visualized the rotating Terrell-Penrose effect, an effect of special relativity.
Bitterly disappointing to see the Astronomer Royal—who should be advocating for the importance of astronomy and its contributions to society—imposing the greatest cuts to astronomy research in a generation
Glad to see that the Astronomer Royal for Scotland is fulfilling her role properly 🏴

Side-by-side images of the same nebula show how differently it appears in near-infrared, on the left, versus mid-infrared light, on the right. The left image is labeled NIRCam and the right is labeled MIRI. In the near-infrared, the nebula’s outer bubble has a white edge and its inner clouds are orange, with a distinct dark lane cutting vertically through the centre. Stars and background galaxies appear around the nebula and through the outer bubble. In the mid-infrared, the outer bubble has a bluish tint and there is more material in the inner clouds, which are coloured off-white. The vertical dark lane is still present but more interrupted and covered by the clouds. Material appears to be erupting out the top of the nebula, and this effect is mirrored to a lesser degree at the bottom, opposite end.
Astronomers are losing their heads over the latest images from Webb - the Cranium Nebula 💀🧠
