Outsider Animals Marlene Zuk Princeton Univ. Press (2026) Evolutionary biologist Marlene Zuk’s charming book begins with a night-time encounter with young raccoons (Procyon lotor) on the deck outside her bedroom in California. They were playing noisily with a hose — and when she tried to shoo them away, one stood up and raised its forelegs,

Growing undocumented populations were linked to falling property crime and assaults — but more robberies.Credit: John Moore/Getty Neighbourhoods across the United States that experienced a growth in their undocumented population also saw property-related and violent crime fall, not rise, according to an analysis of 11,500 neighbourhoods in more than 100 cities. In a paper published

Experimental set-up The set-up consists of the spatial DOP modulator interfaced separately with the high-dimensional PNN and the encryption–decryption system. These two blocks make a different use of scattering media and digital neural networks and are described hereafter in dedicated subsections. The DOP modulator is composed of a phase-only liquid-crystal-on-silicon SLM (Hamamatsu X13138, 1,280 × 1,024 pixels, 12.5 μm

Skywatchers across a swath of northern Spain witnessed a total solar eclipse when the Moon lined up directly between the Sun and Earth on August 12, 2026. Those within the path of totality had the rare chance to glimpse the Sun’s active outer atmosphere, or corona, during the short time the Moon blocked the Sun.
