Applications are open.
Three @MastNode devices will be sent to operators with the strongest locations for both AIS coverage and GNSS data.
The ideal deployment:
→ Near a coast, harbor, marina, river, or busy waterway
→ Clear sky view for GNSS
→ Clear line of sight for AIS
→ Reliable power and internet
→ Installed within 21 days
→ Operated for the long term
Selected hosts can earn from @onocoyRTK and, following mainnet activation, MastChain.
Apply by July 24, 23:59 CEST:
docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
Winners announced July 31.
Selection is based on deployment quality, not chance.

Good operators need good hardware.
Good networks need good locations.
Tomorrow, we open applications for the MastChain x @onocoyRTK Dual-Mining Host Program.
Three @MastNode devices.
Three hosts.
Details drop July 8.

Applications are open: onocoy × @MastChain_DePIN Dual-Mining Host Program 🛰️⚓
Three free @MastNode devices will be sent to three hosts who have the strongest deployment locations for both maritime AIS data (MastChain) and GNSS reference data (onocoy). One device, two DePIN networks, one rooftop that serves both.
Once installed, your MastNode captures maritime AIS data for MastChain and GNSS reference data for onocoy at the same time. Two networks, two reward streams, one install.
Why join
→ Free hardware; shipped to you, nothing to buy
→ Dual-mining; one device earns across two networks
→ Ground-floor access to two growing DePIN ecosystems
What we look for
→ Coast, harbor, marina, river, or high-rooftop locations
→ Clear sky for GNSS + clear line of sight to waterways for AIS
→ DePIN experience, reliable power + internet
→ Install within 21 days of receipt
How to apply
Form: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
Deadline: July 24, 23:59 CEST · Winners announced July 31
Selection is qualitative, based on deployment quality, not chance.

【Press Pelease】
Belle II has now accumulated the world's largest Υ(4S) dataset, surpassing Belle!
Leveraging the cleanness of B mesons produced from electron-positron annihilation at Υ(4S), this dataset opens the door to a new era in the quest for physics beyond the Standard Model.

We're about 1 hour away from the planned start of SSTV Series 31, "World Space Commemoration." Remember, these transmissions will be on 437.550 MHz +/- Doppler shift.
On the ariss-usa.org/ARISS_SSTV/ page where you submit your images, click "FAQ" for some Doppler shift tips!
ALT Graphic for SSTV Series 31, a 70 cm Slow Scan Television event from the International Space Station during World Space Week 2025. The left side shows three images: an Earth view from space labeled 'World Space Week 2025', Astronaut K. Peskov conducting an amateur radio session with children labeled '25th of Amateur Radio on the ISS', and Astronaut Loral O'Hara speaking during 'Jamboree On The Air October 2025'. The right side, on a dark blue background, lists event details in yellow and white text: SSTV Series 31 titled 'World Space Commemoration' runs April 10–14, 2025, on 437.55 MHz using Robot 36 mode, with a schedule of 36 seconds on / 2 minutes off, 10 W transmit power from ARISS. It includes instructions to submit SSTV images at the ARISS website to qualify for the official event certificate and displays the ARISS logo at the bottom.

ATLAS has released its first search for #newphysics phenomena at the record collision energy of 13.6 TeV! The new analysis targets exotic collision events with two “displaced” leptons.

New milestone for the ATLAS experiment at @CERN! We've hit over 1 exabyte (that's 1 billion billion bytes) of real and simulated data worldwide, managed using @RucioData.
That's a whole lotta data! #datascience🌌💾

#OTD in 2012, physicists at @CERN discovered the Higgs particle, confirming the theory of how particles acquire mass. François Englert and Peter Higgs had independently postulated the existence of the Higgs in the 1960s. Its discovery led to a Nobel Prize for them both in 2013.

#OnThisDay twelve years ago, two experiments at CERN announced the existence of a particle with characteristics consistent with those of the #HiggsBoson.
Named after the late theoretical physicist Peter Higgs, its discovery crowned the #StandardModel of particle physics. In 2013, the @NobelPrize for Physics was awarded to François Englert and Peter Higgs for their 1964 proposal of the Brout–Englert–Higgs mechanism.
To mark 60 years since Peter Higgs published his now famous paper predicting the existence of the boson named after him, here we see 60 event displays from @ATLASexperiment and @CMSExperiment, showing collisions where a Higgs boson is produced and then decays into various particles.
#FunFact: in the audio, you can hear Peter Higgs speak about the discovery in his own words.
