Marie Curie’s quote of the day reminds us to replace fear with understanding
Some of the most powerful lessons in life are expressed through a few simple words. One such timeless insight comes from Marie Curie, the pioneering scientist whose work changed the course of modern science. Her famous quote, “Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.
Dynamics of the Thermomagnetic Pendulum
Announce Type: new Abstract: A thermomagnetic pendulum is introduced as a coupled thermo-magnetic-mechanical system consisting of a ferromagnetic bob under gravity and an offset permanent magnet. Heating drives the bob temperature above and below the Curie point, causing magnetic attraction to vanish and recover as the bob moves and cools. A multiphysics model is developed in which the magnetic torque depends nonlinearly on the bob temperature field and pendulum configuration.
Conditioned free-energy density of proteins using unbalanced solutions to constraint satisfaction problems
arXiv:2606.01329v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We show that computing the log-partition function (free-energy) of conditioned inhomogeneous Curie--Weiss spin Hamiltonians reduces to an unbalanced $2 \to 1$ norm computation, and design a polynomial-time SDP algorithm for this problem with a lower bound proof for the amount of unbalance achieved. Applied to the protein Ubiquitin, the framework starts from a known crystal structure, explores alternative backbone conformations across the...
Omega-3 fish oil shows promise against type 2 diabetes
Omega-3 fish oil shows promise against type 2 diabetes Fish oil may help switch off inflammation-driven insulin resistance—even in type 2 diabetes patients who aren't overweight. - Date: - May 31, 2026 - Source: - São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) - Summary: - A new study suggests fish oil may help reduce insulin resistance even in people who aren't obese.
Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French cartoonist and filmmaker behind Persepolis, ‘dies of sadness’ aged 56
Marjane Satrapi, Iranian-French cartoonist and filmmaker behind Persepolis, ‘dies of sadness’ aged 56 She died just over a year after the passing of her husband - Bookmark Marjane Satrapi, the acclaimed Iranian-French cartoonist and filmmaker behind the 2007 drama Persepolis, has died at the age of 56. In a statement, the French presidency hailed her passing as “the loss of a leading figure of French culture and an artist devoted to freedom, whose work carried a universal message and earned...

Discovering and decoding latent mean-field structure with variational autoencoders
arXiv:2606.08694v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Generative models are increasingly used to capture correlations in many-body systems, but the representations they learn remain largely opaque to physical interpretation. Here, we establish an intuitive criterion that quantifies the capacity of a variational autoencoder (VAE) to faithfully reconstruct the joint probability distribution of a many body system. In a nutshell, a bound on the VAE capacity is obtained by comparing the rate of the...
Charred Bronze Age teeth unlock age at death despite cremation
June 4, 2026 feature Charred Bronze Age teeth unlock age at death despite cremation Sandee Oster Author Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Over 3,000 years ago, the people of Bronze Age Poland burned their dead and placed their ashes in urns, often destroying the intimate records of their lives preserved in their bones. Now, researchers have shown that some of these records can still be read, hidden in the charred roots of their teeth. The new study, published in...
