The Netherlands, unsurprisingly, is not on the list. politico.eu/article/europe…

There is no good reason to panic.

Apparently, we got to media last week with the paper on non-linear mechanical effects in 2D magnets (Makars is the first author, and Farbod is the last one, I am somewhere in the middle): scitechdaily.com/vibrations-at-…

As an exception, this news item (in Spanish) needs to be commented on in Russian: Что же зеркальце в ответ? "Ты прекрасна, спору нет; Но царевна всех милее, Всех румяней и белее". (Alexander Pushkin, 1833) elsalvador.com/noticias/nacio…

A bimonthly reminder: The war against Ukraine is still ongoing, and Ukraine still needs our support, especially since the US is not our strategic ally anymore. For those of us who are not policymakers, this support can be financial or information.

Ritesh Das put our latest manuscript on spin wave spectra in a 2D van der Waals antiferromagnet NiPS3 on arXiv today, arxiv.org/abs/2504.20540

It is a great idea to have the Quantum Magnonics workshop in Natal International Institute of Physics, and thanks the organizers, particularly Carlos, Michael, and Viola Kusminskiy Group for organizing. I am really enjoying the talks and interaction, it is a pity I could only come for one week.

Just discovered that International Institute of Physics recorded my one hour talk on cavity and quantum magnonics on the Quantum Magnonics workshop two weeks ago: youtube.com/watch?v=2qU_vv…

The article by Alvaro Bermejillo-Seco and Xiang Zhang (I am the last author) on the anisotropic thermoelastic damping in suspended magnetic membranes has now been published in Phys. Rev. B: journals.aps.org/prb/abstract/1…

Matteo Arfini and Alvaro Bermejillo-Seco put on arXiv their (plus Clinton Potts, Artem Bondarenko, Herre van der Zant, Gary Steele and me) experimental article about non-linear effects in a YIG disk on a MW resonator caused by the Suhl instabilities: arxiv.org/abs/2506.11527

After retirement, I will write a book "Collection of irrelevant trivia". This is one trivium from this book. The top 10 countries which photographs I uploaded on Wikimedia Commons as of now: the Netherlands (5245) - Germany (1231) - Ecuador (1093) - Canada (874) - the UK (683).
