Relational Aesthesis in Permacomputing Practice: Building a Solar Powered Website from Reclaimed Materials

arXiv:2605.30706v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Permacomputing is a nascent concept and community of practice concerned with developing alternative computing systems grounded in principles of resilience, reuse, sufficiency, and ecological limits. However, research engaging with permacomputing remains in an early stage of development, raising concerns about whether permacomputing can move beyond reflective critique to become a meaningful alternative practice.

Amplified Arctic iceberg traffic reshapes benthic biodiversity

Abstract The Arctic is undergoing rapid warming, resulting in retreating sea ice and glaciers1, yet how cryospheric changes propagate into the deep ocean remains poorly understood2. Here we identify a climate-driven mechanism linking accelerating glacier disintegration to an increase in deep-sea hard-bottom habitats far beyond calving fronts. Seafloor observations in Fram Strait show a localized increase in the density and patchiness of dropstones delivered by debris-laden icebergs.

'De-extincting' the Moa: The audacious bid to bring back the giant bird

There was a time, not so long ago in geological terms, when the forests of New Zealand shook under the weight of something enormous. The moa, flightless, featherless on its neck, standing taller than a basketball hoop, wandered those islands for millions of years before humans arrived and, within a few centuries, hunted it into silence. The largest species stretched past three metres.

Earth has a mysterious triple symmetry that may influence its climate

A line that runs through Africa, Europe, Alaska and both poles divides Earth into two halves that reflect the same amount of light – and this newly discovered symmetry may play a critical role in the planet’s climate. It was previously known that the northern and southern hemispheres have almost equal reflectivity, or albedo, but Jianhao Zhang at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in the US and his colleagues have now uncovered a second line of symmetry along the 27° east...

Great apes: What we know about their cognition, cooperation and curiosity after two decades of research

Great apes: What we know about their cognition, cooperation and curiosity after two decades of research Robert Egan Associate Editor Leipzig Zoo in central Germany is a world-leading center of great ape research. Recent studies have seen chimpanzees there using touchscreen controls to navigate virtual forests and locate food rewards—applying similar techniques to what they would use in the wild. Other research (of which I was part) has investigated chimpanzees' social curiosity.

City birds dazzle females with 'borrowed' human items

City birds dazzle females with 'borrowed' human items Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Bowerbirds in an Australian city use a range of human items—from glass and plastic to banknotes and even a pair of handcuffs—to impress females, shows new research in Royal Society Open Science. Male bowerbirds create an intricate tunnel of twigs called a bower, then gather colorful items to show to any females that visit. The new study, by the University of Exeter, compared...

Be less polite: How to cut your AI impact as UN report reveals data centre energy use rivals nations

"That extra ‘please’ you put there can make a huge difference,” says one of the report's authors. The environmental footprint of data centres already rivals some of the world's largest countries, according to a United Nations University report released on 3 June. Their water use, energy use and pollution is predicted to double in just four years as use of artificial intelligence grows.
