The stability conjecture for the Bernoulli problem in dimension four
We prove that every global classical stable solution to the one-phase Bernoulli problem in $\mathbb R^4$ is one-dimensional.Hierarchical automation of scanning probe microscopy through agentic orchestration and algorithmic control
Rapid advances in agentic artificial intelligence enable scientific systems to interpret open-ended objectives, combine heterogeneous information, invoke specialized tools, and revise experimental…La Agente Óptima: Towards Agentic Self-Driving Laboratories
Self-driving laboratories (SDLs) combine automated experimentation with adaptive decision-making to accelerate scientific discovery.'pySNOW': a Python Suite for the NanO-World
In computational materials science, numerical simulations are indispensable tools for revealing atomic-scale processes.Multidimensional Light Detection with Symmetry-engineered Heterojunctions
Miniaturised multidimensional light detection, encompassing full-Stokes polarimetry and spectroscopy in ultracompact footprints, is attracting growing interest for its potential to capture a…Do Tabular Foundation Models Know Physics? Contamination, Units, and the Deterministic Limit
Tabular foundation models (TFMs) learn to fill in tables the way language models fill in text --- and tables are arguably the format in which most physical measurement arrives.Thermal history controls the optoelectronic response of lead halide perovskites through structure and dynamics
Lead halide perovskites are promising optoelectronic materials for photovoltaics, light emission and detection.Why Multi-Layer Message Passing Works: Completeness Theory for Graph Neural Network Interatomic Potentials
We prove that the Hypergraph Neural Network, an invariant architecture with 3-body message passing, is a universal approximator for potential energy surfaces.Dual-polarized, mid-infrared nonreciprocal absorption
The emission and absorption of thermal radiation are usually coupled via Kirchhoff's law or reciprocity, stated as the equality of spectral directional emissivity and absorptivity.Design and Physical Constraints of Synthetic-Frequency Photonic Switching Fabrics
Electro-optic frequency conversion and synthetic-frequency coupling are established functions in integrated photonic devices.Text-guided flow matching enables sample-efficient crystal structure generation
Crystal generators can now propose periodic structures, but their control interfaces remain poorly matched to the mixed descriptors used in materials design.Probing Nonlinear Interactions of Dipolar Interlayer Excitons in MoSe$_2$/WSe$_2$ Heterobilayers
Interlayer excitons in transition-metal dichalcogenide heterobilayers possess intrinsic out-of-plane dipole moments, providing a platform for investigating exciton-exciton interactions at high…Can LLMs Discover Scientific Laws in Real and Parallel Worlds?
Scientific law discovery has long been central to scientific progress, proceeding through iterative cycles of generating hypotheses, testing them against empirical evidence, and refining them under…Photonic magnetism and altermagnetism without magnetic materials
Magnetism, a fundamental property of solids arising from the collective alignment of electronic spins of magnetic atoms, has recently been expanded by the discovery of altermagnetism, a…Simulating Continuous-Rotation 3D Electron Diffraction: A Multislice and Bloch Wave Framework
To improve the agreement between measured and calculated intensities of three-dimensional electron diffraction (3D ED) experiments, a simulation pipeline is needed to assess and quantify the…OpenMUSTANC (MUltiple Scattering Theory At Nanoplasmonic Cavities): A MATLAB toolbox for the simulation of Plasmonic Sphere Aggregates
Mesoscopic physical models, including the Hydrodynamic Drude Model (HDM), the Generalized Nonlocal Optical Response (GNOR) Model, and the Surface Response Model (SRM), have been proposed to…Emergence and suppression of phonon vortices in two-dimensional crystals: Interplay of lattice symmetry, heavy impurities, and shear
Phonon vortices are vortex-like displacement fields that appear in the vibrational modes of two- dimensional materials.Self-Diffusion of Water through Thermally Activated Membranes
Diffusion processes involving membranes are of fundamental importance in both science and technology, since membranes serve as selective interfaces that regulate the transport of mass, charge, and…Revealing antenna-molecule coupling using virtual gain from synthetic complex frequency analysis
Synthetic complex frequency waves (CFWs) enhance spectral and spatial resolution by compensating loss through virtual gain.Universal unconventional responses controlled by ferroaxial order
Ferroaxial materials are an emerging class of ferroic materials that, in contrast to ferromagnets and ferroelectrics, are fully robust against stray fields, making them ideally suited for data…
