Key Points

As the Philippines braces for months of drought and shortages in key resources due to the current El Nino season, questions are mounting over whether it could have prepared better to deal with a crisis that has been predicted well in advance. The government’s haphazard response to El Nino reflects its persistent track record of failing to do adequate disaster and infrastructure planning, according to climate and risk specialists. El Nino is a weather phenomenon that causes changes in winds...

These are the world’s best destinations for ‘golden hour’, according to a meteorologist

Greece dominated the golden hour list, with four destinations making the top 10, including the Lindos Acropolis in Rhodes. Even amateur photographers know that the best time to get snapping is during “golden hour” – but not all are created equal. Some are far longer than an hour, others shorter; clouds can get in the way of the effect, as can rainfall; and light pollution can have an impact, too.

Aluminum wide-range EOS sensitivity in Z-pinch dynamic-hohlraum liner-foam impact and outgoing radiation

arXiv:2610.21107v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In a Z-pinch dynamic hohlraum, an aluminum liner collides with a central foam and converts kinetic energy into radiation, and the liner-foam response depends on the aluminum equation of state (EOS). We construct a wide-range aluminum equation-of-state table from density functional theory (DFT) simulations over solid-liquid-plasma regions, denoted DFT-eos. Mixed deterministic-stochastic finite-temperature DFT (mDFT) gives the electron thermal...
