Another important milestone has been reached by Rolls-Royce SMR. It has submitted it's final tender to Great British Nuclear on the deployment of small modular reactors (SMRs) in the UK. ow.ly/VpZx50VylZE #SmallModularReactors #GreatBritishNuclear #RollsRoyce

just a massive, massive, massive mistake from the entire academic community to so blatantly politicize their work for so many years. Nature endorsing a Presidential candidate was so deeply self indulgent

Spring blossom and flowers in NW England

it’s over turns out the rl victory lap was premature. new tsinghua paper quietly shows the fancy reward loops just squeeze the same tired reasoning paths the base model already knew. pass@1 goes up, sure, but the model’s world actually shrinks. feels like teaching a kid to ace

1⃣Today our #paper of #Villarrica #volcano #Chile came out in Bulletin of Volcanology. It tells a story of synergic collaborations between scientists and the local community to understand its 2021-2023 activity. 📷Diego ⬇️doi.org/10.1007/s00445… Instituto de Ciencias de la Ingeniería ICI-UOH

That feeling when you may have had a really profound insight but can’t quite believe that it hasn’t been seen already and start searching everywhere slightly dreading finding it in a eg 1970s paper people have neglected

🚨 Excited to share our latest research on the 2021 Tajogaite eruption (La Palma, Spain) 🌋 We used 3D X-ray microtomography to unravel how vesicle textures and pore networks in volcanic clasts relate to eruption style and gas escape efficiency. doi.org/10.1007/s00445…

The greatest feeling you can have as a scientist is realizing you’ve discovered something that no one else in the world knows yet When this happens, put your pencil down, take a deep breath and savor those three minutes before someone points out it was published fifty yrs ago

First paroxysmal eruptive episode at #Etna's Southeast Crater since 18 months, on the morning of 2 June 2025. Collapse of the northeast flank of the crater generated a spectacular (but harmless) pyroclastic flow down the upper side of the mountain. (1/2)

The ruins of the Teatro Greco in Taormina (3rd c. BC) with the rising smoke from the eruption of Mount Etna, Sicily on May 18, 1886 at 11 AM- a fantastic photograph by Giovanni Crupi.

Wow

Kilauea Message 2025-06-04 22:34:39 HST: Lava fountains are reaching heights of more than 1,000 ft (300 m). Large lava flows are covering Halema'uma'u crater floor.

My first time-lapse. Thanks to some instruction and tips from Nichole “Vapor” Ayers, I caught my first aurora. After seeing the result, I told her this felt like fishing. Prepping the camera, the angle, the settings, the mount, then setting your timer and coming back to hope you got a

Combined graph in the FT showing the impact of the abolition of the RLMT in October 2019. No other country would wage war on their own doctors like this. It’s just bizarre. We are facing a mass unemployment crisis for British doctors.

SEAL: LLM That Writes Its Own Updates Solves 72.5% of ARC-AGI Tasks—Up from 0% This is a breakthrough that is rarely seen and could open up undreamt-of possibilities. In the following, I will go into more detail and summarize this breakthrough:

Did you know the volcanoes in the Caribbean do not have this eruption style? Our magma is more viscous that means it is more sticky and prone to dome formations and explosive eruptions. Our volcanic hazards are very different. Read more here: uwiseismic.com/volcanoes/haza…

We’re cooked

#Iceland #Sundhnuka IMO Update Continuing land rise in Svartsengi but has slowed down. Seismic activity is stable, averaging 10 small earthquakes per day. A little over half of the magma volume that was under Svartsengi in April has accumulated again vedur.is/um-vi/frettir/…

I've never really liked the slogans "follow the science" or "believe in the science". Science and scientists are not always correct. It is the PROCESS of good science that one should follow. Science, in the long run, is self-correcting. We may not ever find the final truth, but

"This guy gets Eric Clapton to play rhythm guitar, Sting to sing backup vocals, and Phil Collins as his drummer! Must be nice to be Mark Knopfler." Many superstars were there at that night, Concert for Montserrat. They performed one of the greatest story-tellings by Knopfler,
