Lately, I have been obsessed with developing theoretically based optimization algorithms that actually attain the best practical performance.
Alas, the classic model of minimax optimal methods is overly conservative; it overfits to tune its worst-case.

Mechano-induced patterned domain formation by monocytes - Nature Materials Human primary monocytes reversibly phase separate into regular, multicellular, multilayered domains on soft matrices with physiological stiffness due to local activation and global inhibition processe...

We have observed a beautifully strange phenomenon of phase separation by human monocytes placed on soft matrix, which do it for survival.

We model it by incorporating the Cahn–Hilliard equation with a Turing mechanism of local activation/global inhibition

Germany bets billions on nuclear fusion for energy future – DW – 10/29/2025 Berlin hopes the technology will provide abundant clean and reliable energy, but critics say it's a waste of money as the technology won't solve near-term climate and energy problems.

ROSEI's @dankammen.bsky.social was featured in an article by DW that focused on Germany's decision to bet on nuclear for its energy future! Kammen noted that the "old adage" of nuclear fusion being five decades away for many decades is "no longer true." #HopkinsEnergy www.dw.com/en/nuclear-f...
