The Ĝ survey is back! @pseticenter.bsky.social's Olivia Curtis presents the pipeline we're going to use to drop the ceiling on our upper limits for KIII species on a galaxy-by-galaxy basis from the 50-80% of intercepted starlight in our previous work down to 4-20%. arxiv.org/abs/2608.12458

The Ĝ Infrared Search for Extraterrestrial Civilizations with Large Energy Supplies. V. When Galaxies Glow with Industry

We present the most robust stellar population synthesis (SPS)-based search for galaxy-spanning technological waste heat to date, applied to 129 nearby galaxies spanning a wide range of spectral energy...

At AIP we've launched a new policy research program to go deep on current questions and pull together more comprehensive pictures. Leading this work, Lindsay Milliken has produced her first public product, a primer on the new $100,000 fee on H-1B petitions.

Policy primer: A new $100,000 fee on H-1B Visas

President Trump has issued a proclamation requiring a $100,000 payment for each new H-1B petition. We examine what it does and does not do, how it is being justified, and what developments to look out...

Despite working in a time of tense diplomatic relations, proxy wars, and budget cuts, many US and Soviet scientists collaborated productively during the 1970s and 1980s, writes Anna Doel. Prior exchanges help better understand the challenges to scientific cooperation today. https://bit.ly/4neNFWQ

The successes and challenges of US–Soviet scientific communication

Research exchanges between US and Soviet scientists during the second half of the 20th century may be instructive for navigating today’s debates on scientific collaboration.
