Primary human cells offer the most faithful representation of native human physiology, yet their practical utility is constrained by the difficulty of introducing exogenous genetic material. Electroporation provides a promising non-viral gene delivery approach; however, conventional bulk systems lack the uniformity and integration...
We report on a high-fidelity digital quantum simulation of Wigner localisation in a quasi-one-dimensional (quasi-1D) electron system using a 6-qubit segment of the state-of-the-art \textbf{IBM\,Heron\,2} quantum processor. By mapping the Coulomb interaction Hamiltonian onto a 6-qubit ring lattice, we reconstruct the ground-state...
Variational principles are a unifying mathematical framework across many areas of physics, yet their instruction at the undergraduate level remains primarily analytical. This work presents a pedagogically oriented and computationally enhanced approach to variational modeling that integrates contemporary tools including gradient...
The structural and electronic properties of the doubly calcium-doped boron cluster B$_{18}$Ca$_2$ have been systematically investigated using density functional theory calculations. Basin-hopping searches reveal that B$_{18}$Ca$_2$ adopts a double-ring geometry as its global minimum, consisting of two fused B$_9$ rings symmetrically...
We experimentally investigate quasi-two-dimensional (Q2D) forced shallow flows in the presence of solid boundaries and analyze the deviation from the Kolmogorov-Kraichnan (KK) theory. Complex motion is generated using a thin electrolyte subject to electromagnetic forces, and we employ particle tracking velocimetry to resolve the flow...
Dense Associative Memory networks (DenseAMs) unify several popular paradigms in Artificial Intelligence (AI), such as Hopfield Networks, transformers, and diffusion models, while casting their computational properties into the language of dynamical systems and energy landscapes. This formulation provides a natural setting for studying...
Non-Markovian memory effects in open quantum systems provide valuable resources for preserving coherence and enhancing controllability. However, exploiting them requires strategies adapted to history-dependent dynamics. We introduce a reinforcement-learning framework that autonomously learns to amplify information backflow in a driven...
The integration of plasma activated water (PAW) with herbal infusions offers a sustainable approach to enhancing the functional bioactivity of plant derived compounds. In this study, neem (Azadirachta indica) and tulsi (Ocimum sanctum) infusions were treated with PAW generated using an atmospheric pressure gliding arc discharge...
Hopping transport, characterized by carrier tunneling between localized states, is a key mechanism in disordered materials such as organic semiconductors, perovskites, nitride alloys, and 2D material-based inks. Two main regimes are typically observed: Variable Range Hopping and Nearest Neighbor Hopping, with a transition between them...
Imagine a world where beauty and technology move in perfect harmony, revealing tiny masterpieces hidden in the water. This world is Nature, and diatoms are the stars. Masters of assembling complex hierarchical glass structures, these microscopic algae are true technological gems, and their potential is boundless when it comes to...
We present results from a seven-season (2018-2024) monitoring campaign of the gravitationally lensed quasar system PS J2305+3714 using the 1.5-m Maidanak Telescope in the optical R-band. From these data, the amplitude of possible microlensing variability does not exceed 10 mmag on a 7-yr timescale. Additionally, we measure a time...
In-space manufacturing is essential for achieving long-term planetary colonization, particularly on Mars, where material transport from Earth is both costly and logistically restrictive. Traditional subtractive manufacturing methods are highly equipment-, energy-, and material-intensive, making additive manufacturing (AM) a more...
Artificial intelligence has revolutionized optical device design, overcoming the efficiency bottlenecks of traditional methods. For holographic metasurfaces, conventional iterative algorithms suffer from time-consuming iterations and convergence stagnation, especially as the complexity of 3D target fields increases. While recent...
We present the first search for new flavor-dependent long-range interactions (LRI) of neutrinos using publicly available 8 years of high-purity $ν_μ$ CC data from IceCube DeepCore. These interactions are mediated by ultra-light gauge bosons with masses below $10^{-10}$ eV, which can arise due to a new lepton-number gauge symmetry,...
Open questions on the fundamental nature of the strong force endure and the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a once-in-a-generation laboratory elucidating its quantum origins. This document summarizes the plenary overview talk titled "QCD Studies at the LHC" presented at the Lepton Photon Symposium 2025. Selected results highlight...
We introduce AceFF, a pre-trained machine learning interatomic potential (MLIP) optimized for small molecule drug discovery. While MLIPs have emerged as efficient alternatives to Density Functional Theory (DFT), generalizability across diverse chemical spaces remains difficult. AceFF addresses this via a refined TensorNet2...
Light harvesting 2 (LH2) complex is a primary component of the photosynthetic unit of purple bacteria that is responsible for harvesting and relaying excitons. The electronic absorption line shape of LH2 contains two major bands at 800 nm and 850 nm wavelength regions. Under low light condition, some species of purple bacteria replace...
The microscopic coexistence of ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism in solids remains a fundamental challenge in condensed matter physics, with far-reaching implications for multifunctional materials and next-generation electronic devices. Using first-principles calculations, we predict emergent sliding ferroelectricity and...
Uniqueness of the four-dimensional static, asymptotically flat, Einstein-Maxwell spacetime with both electric and magnetic charges, containing non-extremal massive particle sphere, being an inner boundary in it, has been proved. It is isometric to Reissner-Nordström spacetime with electric/magnetic charges. In contrast to the previous...
Cloud coverage is one of the crucial elements of site testing in astronomy. All-sky camera (ASC) images are beneficial for our research on cloud coverage. In this paper, we propose ASCNet, an innovative model specifically designed for classifying nighttime ASC images collected at the Muztagh-ata site from 2022 March to 2024 June....
Reliable temperature forecasting in Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) is essential, yet petroleum-based decline curves and many machine-learning surrogates do not enforce geothermal heat transfer, while thermo-hydro-mechanical (THM) simulation remains computationally expensive. This study proposes a physics-consistent framework that...
We develop and optimize thin anti-reflection coatings (ARCs) for highly anisotropic materials in the mid infrared. Unlike conventional ARCs that assume nearly isotropic refractive indices, this work fully integrates the anisotropic nature of materials into the design process. We describe two designs of thin ARCs for highly anisotropic...
X-ray imaging is widely employed in clinical medicine, industrial inspection, and various scientific research fields. Unfortunately, most currently used X-ray two-dimensional (2D) detectors suffer from a fundamental trade-off between the number of pixels and readout time, making them unsuitable for fast moving objects imaging, as well...
In this paper, we investigate periodic orbits of test particles around a non-rotating Destounis-Suvorov-Kokkotas black hole and the resulting gravitational waves. Firstly, we examine the properties of circular orbits and find that circular orbits could disappear when the deformation is large enough. Then, using an orbital taxonomy, we...
We propose a microlocal-Riemannian framework for the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations on a smooth oriented Riemannian manifold (M,g). The dynamics is lifted to the unit cosphere bundle S*M via a normal-coordinate microlocal transform whose construction is justified by the positive homogeneity of the principal...
