The shadow of a laser beam appears as a horizontal line against the blue backgroundAbrahao et al. (2024) Light normally makes other objects cast shadows – but with a little help from a ruby, a beam of laser light can cast a shadow of its own.

FEMA supervisor Marn’i Washington is taking everyone down with her. Washinton ordered FEMA employees to avoid homes with Trump signs and was promptly fired after her messages were leaked. FEMA swore this was an isolated incident, but Washington insists she has been used as a scapegoat as the corruption was widespread throughout the agency. Marn’i Washington clearly has no one advising her. She has not issued an apology to the hurricane victims, but rather, she doubled down on her reasoning for abandoning Trump supporters. “FEMA preaches avoidance first, and then de-escalation. This is not isolated. This is a colossal event…

Energy Minister Eli Cohen, in an interview with Reuters, also said that Israel is closer than ever to reaching an agreement to end fighting in Lebanon and push Iran-backed Hezbollah away from the border, while insisting that Israel maintains the right to act military should it be violated. Israel has been in a multi-front war since Hamas, which is also supported by…
The flash floods that overwhelmed Spain’s eastern Valencia region two weeks ago were the deadliest natural disaster in the country’s living memory. The Spanish government responded to the tragedy with the largest peacetime mobilisation of the military and police in the country’s recent history, but it was still heavily criticised for the delays in the delivery of emergency assistance to certain areas, and its perceived lack of preparedness for such a catastrophe. The disaster in Spain, which killed more than 200 people and left countless homes and businesses submerged in mud, is a stark reminder that the toll of climate…
