Geometria e topologia svolgono un ruolo centrale nella fisica moderna, dalla formazione delle stringhe cosmiche nell'universo primordiale agli intricati modelli di crescita di foglie e petali di rosa. Da una prospettiva applicata, i difetti topologici sono fondamentali per comprendere i guasti meccanici nei materiali solidi e per descrivere i fenomeni di fusione nei sistemi bidimensionali.

Definire i difetti, tuttavia, richiede una configurazione di riferimento, tipicamente uno sfondo ordinato idealizzato. Nei cristalli, gli atomi sono disposti in strutture reticolari periodiche, rompendo la simmetria traslazionale continua in un sottogruppo discreto. Questo sfondo ordinato consente una definizione precisa di difetti come dislocazioni e disclinazioni.

Al contrario, i materiali amorfi, come il vetro di una finestra, mancano di ordine a lungo raggio. Le disposizioni atomiche sono disordinate oltre poche distanze interatomiche, rendendo l'identificazione e la classificazione dei difetti particolarmente elusive. Eppure, questa non è solo una sfida accademica: la capacità di prevedere dove e come un vetro potrebbe rompersi sotto stress ha implicazioni dirette per la progettazione, la sicurezza e l'ingegneria dei materiali.

Negli ultimi anni sono stati compiuti progressi significativi nell'identificazione dei difetti topologici nei vetri. Tuttavia, questi sviluppi sono stati in gran parte limitati a modelli bidimensionali semplificati, limitandone la rilevanza per i materiali reali. In una recente pubblicazione su Nature Communications , la Dott.ssa Arabinda Bera e il Professor Alessio Zaccone (Università degli Studi di Milano), in collaborazione con il Professor Matteo Baggioli (SJTU), hanno introdotto, per la prima volta, una definizione robusta dei difetti topologici nei vetri tridimensionali.

After successfully fending off three subpoenas from filmmakers seeking user data related to piracy discussions, Reddit is back in federal court. The company is now requesting over $55,000 in legal compensation, suggesting that these repeated requests amount to an "anti-piracy publicity campaign" that chills lawful speech by Reddit’s users.

Mamdani, a 33-year-old New York state assemblyman, shocked the political world last month with a primary win over former Governor Andrew Cuomo, who resigned his position in 2021 after several women accused him of sexual harassment.

The Times noted that on the campaign trail, Mamdani touted his Muslim faith and South Asian ancestry. He was born in Uganda in 1991 and moved with his parents to South Africa five years later. Two years later, the family moved to New York.

::: spoiler The Times report cited a figure who goes by the name Crémieux on X and Substack:

• Last month’s cyberattack appears to have been carried out in order to see if Columbia was still using race-conscious affirmative action in its admission policies after the Supreme Court effectively barred the practice in 2023.
• While Mr. Mamdani was not a target of the hack, the information about him was included in a database of millions of student applications to Columbia going back decades. The data was shared with The Times by an intermediary who goes by the name Crémieux on Substack and X. He provided the data under condition of anonymity, although his identity has been made public elsewhere. He is an academic who opposes affirmative action and writes often about I.Q. and race.
  :::

One of the speakers at the conference is billed under a social media alias, Cremieux, but the Guardian has corroborated that the account is apparently run by Jordan Lasker, a long-time proponent of eugenics.

::: spoiler The @cremieuxrecueil X account has been boosted or engaged with dozens of times by that platform’s proprietor, Elon Musk, often on the topic of falling birthrates.

• On 27 November, Musk reposted a Cremieux comment on falling birthrates, adding: “With rare exception, all countries are trending towards population collapse.”
• On 29 April, Cremieux posted: “Only about a third of the world even meets replacement rate fertility. This is the biggest problem of our time.” Musk responded: “Yes.”
• Musk has also boosted or responded favorably to Cremieux posts on other rightwing hobby horses such as crime in Portland, Oregon, and allegations that Democrats had created loopholes in the asylum system.
• Away from X, Cremieux runs a Substack also featuring posts on the supposed relationships between race and IQ. A prominently featured post there seeks to defend the argument that average national IQs vary by up to 40 points, with countries in Europe, North America, and East Asia at the high end and countries in the global south at the low end, and several African countries purportedly having average national IQs at a level that experts associate with mental impairment.

Some key insights from the article:

Basically, what they did was to look at how much batteries would be needed in a given area to provide constant power supply at least 97% of the time, and the calculate the costs of that solar+battery setup compared to coal and nuclear.

In a recent discussion it was mentioned that the search function in Lemmy is awkward to use and could be improved. As a result I already made two small changes:
- Change community selector to use !community@example.com format (#3218)
- Search field in community sidebar (#3217)

Are there any other UI or UX changes you can think of to improve searching in Lemmy? Im mainly looking for frontend changes, such as reorganizing the input positions, changing default values etc.

The Justice Department is advancing a radical theory of presidential power, nullifying Congress’s foreign affairs powers whenever the president finds them inconvenient.

These letters provide a legal rationale (if it can be called that) for the Trump administration’s commitment not to enforce the Protecting Americans from Foreign Adversary Controlled Applications Act (PAFACAA), the divestment-or-ban law that the Supreme Court upheld in January. The letters make two central claims, both of which are astonishing in their breadth and implications for executive power.
