#Open data

[mindblowingscience]

High-temperature fusion plasma experiments conducted in the Large Helical Device (LHD) of the National Institute for Fusion Science (NIFS), have renewed the world record for an acquired data amount, 0.92 terabytes (TB) per experiment, in February 2022, by using a full range of state-of-the-art plasma diagnostic devices. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), which is currently under construction in France through the international collaboration of seven parties, is expected to generate approximately 1 TB of data per experiment in 10 years, and LHD is currently the only experiment in the world that produces data closely aligned to ITER. The promotion of "Open Science," in which large-scale research data assets are utilized and shared across society, was adopted as a joint statement at the G7 meeting held in Sendai, Japan in 2023. NIFS started full-fledged efforts toward Open Science by establishing the "Open Access Policy" in February 2022 and the "Research Data Policy" in October 2022.

Map: Where Not to Watch the Ford Fireworks, Detroit

What a day, a long, hot, sad day. Detroit loves to roll out the welcome mat for major events for visitors Downtown, but closed down numerous city parks along the entire roughly 10 miles of Detroit coastline from Riverside Park in Southwest to Mariner Park at the Grosse Pointes border. Detroit limited viewing areas to Spirit Plaza and Hart Plaza downtown while Belle Isle was limited to capacity…

The Power and Potential of Open Data: A Path to Sustainable Development

According to the open data handbook, Open data is data that anyone can access, use, or share. It is the idea that some data should be freely available to everyone to use and republish as they wish, without restrictions from copyright, patents, or other mechanisms of control. Advocates of open data argue that these restrictions are against the common good and that these data should be made…

Thanks Data for selecting our data-descriptor as the cover story for the April issue of the journal:

I am happy to support Open Science practices by both encouraging my students to follow them and by walking the path myself

This dataset has been already used in 2 studies done in collaboration with Heidi Toivonen and in one in collaboration with Akpofure Enughwure. Both my co-author and me are looking forward to any further collaborations that may arise. Overall, I am considering this adventure as one my best self-citations so far!

En él pude comprobar, de primera mano, cómo hay una serie de administraciones regionales plenamente implicadas en la transformación que…

Thanks, MetroHero

I don't usually write 500-plus words about a mobile app that most people outside of my city have even heard of. But this wasn't just any app.

The app that for more than seven years has stamped my smartphone as a D.C.-area device stopped working Saturday. But while I’ll miss having MetroHero on my phone, its utility will live on–not only in software built on its open-source code, but in an upcoming tool that Metro developed after learning from its example. MetroHero debuted Sept. 20, 2015 on Google’s Play Store as an app that would…

But there’s a crucial step in between—making sense of the data. This transformation is not just about presenting numbers and figures; it’s about crafting visual metaphors that…
