'Whisper networks' thrive when women lose faith in formal systems of reporting sexual harassment

Whisper networks—informal channels that women use to warn others about sexual harassment, abuse or assault—take root because formal reporting systems can re-traumatize people who have been harmed. That's what I found while conducting research on this topic for my dissertation.

Superconductivity and ferroelectricity found in the same 2D material

When it comes to two-dimensional materials, it's best to expect the unexpected. Writing in Nature, researchers at Columbia find evidence that two competing phenomena—superconductivity and ferroelectricity—can occur within the same material. "This is the first time that a tunable switch between ferroelectricity and superconductivity has ever been seen," said corresponding author Daniel Rhodes. "We don't fully understand it just yet, but it's definitely there."

new nanoscale thermoelectric materials

Enabling nanoscale thermoelectrics with a novel organometallic molecular junction

The Seebeck effect is a thermoelectric phenomenon by which a voltage or current is generated when a temperature difference exists across a conductor. This effect is the basis of established and emerging thermoelectric applications alike, such as heat-to-electricity energy harvesters, sensing devices, and temperature control.

this is pretty cool, mostly because it's incredibly practical

Innovation strengthens electron-triggered light emissions for quantum-based computational and communications systems

The way electrons interact with photons of light is a vital part of many modern technologies, from lasers to solar panels to LEDs. But the interaction is inherently weak because of a major mismatch in scale: the wavelength of visible light is about 1,000 times larger than an electron, so the way the two things affect each other is limited by that disparity.

exciting because we can tune the frequency or color of the light generated. so let's say we have quantum systems with various colors...

While most technologies for generating light are restricted to very specific ranges of color or wavelength, and "it's usually difficult to move that emission frequency. Here it's completely tunable. Simply by changing the velocity of the electrons, you can change the emission frequency

If you worked at Microsoft or Meta/Facebook you are not allowed at Zedtopia, not even as a guest tour.

You contribute to the violation of everyone's privacy and helped code and build infrastructure that is built upon the idea of stealing users' data and selling it to advertisers.

If you're the person who said let's do Ads at Twitter, you're also not allowed.

Not only have you demonstrated that such evil is palatable to your liking, you directly earn a living by exploiting everyone's data.

If you have a conscience and work for one of these companies but are against such an EVIL business model, or are upset as a past Google employee because they removed "Don't be Evil" from the charter, check out Zedtopia.

a really good article discussing how Exxon is attempting to thwart enviornmental laws and regulations set in place to protect the Guyanese people and stop the flood of the capital Georgetown that is a result of climate change.

Democracy Now!

The Environmental Lawyer Taking on ExxonMobil to “Defuse Guyana’s Carbon Bomb”

We speak with Guyanese environmental lawyer Melinda Janki about how she’s taking on the oil giant ExxonMobil to stop the company from developing an offshore oil field that would turn Guyana into a “carbon bomb.” Guyana is currently a carbon sink, but Exxon plans to produce more than 1 million barrels of oil a day, which could transform the South American country into one of the world’s top oil producers by 2030. Janki is suing the Guyanese government and Exxon under the constitution’s guarantee of a healthy environment to both current and future citizens. Her legal battle is profiled in a new article in Wired, “The Quest to Defuse Guyana’s Carbon Bomb,” written by independent journalist Antonia Juhasz, who also joins us.

This is crazy. If France banned Yamakas everyone would say France is AntiSemitic and AntiJewish. That they're fascist and racist.

Married observant Jewish women wear a scarf (tichel or mitpahat), snood, hat, beret, or sometimes a wig (sheitel) in order to conform with the requirement of Jewish religious law that married women cover their hair.

Yet Muslim Women can't do the same thing. France is effectively telling women what they can and cannot wear. Women should be free to wear or not wear whatever they want and still be treated equally no matter what their state of garb may be.

France has no freedom of religion nor do they have any freedom of garment.
