"Mapping Diffuse Radio Sources Using TUNA: A Transformer-Based Deep
Learning Approach" 🐟
https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.11320
by N. Sanvitale et al., including myself
...not really within my comfort zone, it presents the results of new and more powerful Machine Learning approach to identify very diffuse radio emission structures in existing LOFAR images, using my simulations to train the algorithm.

(14 Jul) Merger of two massive black holes is one for the record books

The event resulted in a new black hole with a mass 225 times larger than our Sun.

Nicht erst seit Beginn des russischen Angriffskriegs gegen die Ukraine pflegt das IPP enge Verbindung zu den Kolleginnen und Kollegen am Kharkiv Institute of Physics and Technology (KIPT). Die Solidarität gilt dabei insbesondere dem Team der dortigen Fusionsanlage Uragan, an der auch unter widrigsten Bedingungen die Forschungsarbeit weitergeführt wird – mit beeindruckender Professionalität und Engagement!

As a welcome of sorts to the new arrivals here on mastodon, here's a second #introduction

I'm a physicist and entrepreneur. I used to be a researcher in #quantum #optics, then #xray imaging and #synchrotron science.

I currently run my own technical consultancy business on sensors, x-ray imaging, #spectroscopy and #MachineLearning mostly applied to chemometrics and machine vision.

I blog at https://nirpyresearch.com/

I also founded a startup, Rubens Technologies, deploying field spectral sensors for fruit maturity assessment.

Still very interested in #physics research, I'm writing a book on Synchrotron Physics to be published by Oxford University Press.

We live in crazy times, and i would love to connect with other scientists to help each other maintain our sanity and try and change things for the better!

Look, speaking as a physicist, it is hard for me to put into words how batshit crazy this is.
