An abstract must be like this. Only 2 lines, so simple and to the point. The English translation of Diamagnetismus der Metalle, Z. Phys. 64, 629 (1930) from Lev Landau.

This is the classic neoliberal move from the ERC - more barriers and competition rather than increasing funds.

The hindutva gang will soon deny Ashoka's edicts of Dhamma. Such a nice insight and discussion by one of the stalwarts of Indian history. A must watch for everyone, because everywhere today the history of the place is distorted by the politics to fit their narrative. youtu.be/u06Cy0AS5_0?...

Germany gets 60% of its power from renewables and is shutting down its coal plants. No blackouts. No high bills. Every right wing lie about renewables has been proven false.

I had a thought when I was in my bachelors and I just learned that in Quantum Chemistry it is computationally intractable to solve the Schrödinger equation for more than 1 electron in a system. I understood but I was not convinced.

It's true that open source is made up of community members coming together to make software solutions in a collaborative and open way. It is also true that open source is defined by a bunch of licenses. The licenses may not be the fun part, but being organized about what parts of your project […]

A recent WHO study found that every 2% increase in energy intake from #TransFats significantly raises the risk of: 💔 heart disease by 25% 😐 death from any cause by 14% Learn more 🔗 bit.ly/42oIBG3

The main headline reads: “Trans fats can kill.” Below, it states: “Trans fats can be found in many margarines, vegetable shortenings, fried & baked foods.” The image includes drawings of a red carton of French fries and a tub of margarine with a knife. At the bottom, the graphic notes: “Every 2% increase in energy intake from trans fats increases risk of dying by 14% and heart disease by 25%.”

An amazing article by the economist showcases the true spirit of free speech. My favourite line - " But also ... believing in free speech means defending speech you don’t like." Many neo-liberals are getting it wrong. #politics www.economist.com/leaders/2025...
