How neuronal left-right asymmetry is initiated and integrated into a bilaterally symmetrical ground pattern is poorly understood. Here, we show that the directional asymmetry of a Drosophila central brain circuit originates from axonal interactions of two types of bilateral pioneer neurons. Subsequent recruitment of neighboring neurons into the asymmetric neuropil primordium results in hemisphere-specific microcircuits. Circuit lateralization requires dynamic expression of the cell adhesion molecule Fasciclin 2 to maintain structural plasticity in axonal remodeling. Reduced circuit asymmetry following cell type–specific Fasciclin 2 manipulation affects adult brain function. These results reveal an unexpected degree of developmental plasticity of late-born Drosophila neurons in the formation of a circuit node via the lateralized recruitment of symmetric circuit components."}],"intvolume":"        12","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We thank I.

The GLOF also destroyed 13 bridges and a major hydropower plant in the Chungthang region. Over 60,000 individuals in four districts of Sikkim were impacted by this GLOF event. This study examines the factors that led to the GLOF event. Our study shows that the cause of this GLOF was initiated by a landslide, that dumped a substantial amount (~ 38.31 million m3) of debris into the South Lhonak Lake. Furthermore, the glacier that was connected to the lake, lost a big chunk of ice mass (~ 7 million m3) due to calving. The combination of these two processes led to the collapse of the left lateral moraine that consequently generated flood waves which breached the terminal moraine dam of the lake. We recommend monitoring land subsidence and calving events for large proglacial lakes to prevent the disastrous consequences of such GLOFs in the future."}],"volume":16,"DOAJ_listed":"1","publication_status":"published","pmid":1,"tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by_nc_nd.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode","name":"Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0)","short":"CC BY-NC-ND (4.0)"},"article_number":"9741","external_id":{"pmid":["41876546"]},"corr_author":"1","author":[{"last_name":"Mohanty","first_name":"Litan Kumar","full_name":"Mohanty, Litan Kumar"},{"last_name":"Gantayat","first_name":"Prateek","id":"02734268-3e8d-11ef-80a1-cec4a088d004","full_name":"Gantayat, Prateek"},{"full_name":"Dixit, Ankur","first_name":"Ankur","last_name":"Dixit"},{"first_name":"Manik","last_name":"Das Adhikari","full_name":"Das Adhikari, Manik"},{"last_name":"Biswas","first_name":"Rahul","full_name":"Biswas, Rahul"},{"full_name":"Singh, Vivek Kumar","last_name":"Singh","first_name":"Vivek Kumar"}],"title":"Sequence of events that led to the South Lhonak lake outburst flood in Sikkim, India","_id":"21708","OA_place":"publisher","file":[{"access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2026-05-04T07:24:59Z","relation":"main_file","file_size":17406006,"content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"dernst","file_id":"21785","checksum":"cf13f61c38609ce6518d74562319c35f","success":1,"date_updated":"2026-05-04T07:24:59Z","file_name":"2026_ScienceAdv_Mohanty.pdf"}],"publisher":"Springer Nature","department":[{"_id":"FrPe"}],"has_accepted_license":"1","publication":"Scientific Reports","citation":{"ista":"Mohanty LK, GANTAYAT P, Dixit A, Das Adhikari M, Biswas R, Singh VK. 2026.

Key questions are how LRDs connect to standard UV-luminous AGN, whether transitional phases exist, and whether they are observable. We present the “X-ray dot” (XRD), a compact source at z = 3.28 observed by the NIRSpec Wide Guaranteed Time Observation survey. The XRD exhibits LRD hallmarks: a blackbody-like (Teff ≃ 6400 K) red continuum, a faint but blue rest-UV excess, falling mid-IR emission, and broad Balmer lines (FWHM ∼ 2700–3200 km s−1). Unlike LRDs, however, it is remarkably X-ray luminous (L2−10 keV = 1044.18 erg s−1) and has a continuum inflection that is blueward of the Balmer limit. We find that the red rest-optical and blue mid-IR continuum cannot be reproduced by standard dust-attenuated AGN models without invoking extremely steep extinction curves, nor can the weak mid-IR emission be reconciled with well-established X-ray–torus scaling relations. We therefore consider an alternative scenario: the XRD may be an LRD in transition, where the gas envelope dominates the optical continuum but optically thin sight lines allow X-rays to escape. The XRD may thus provide a physical link between LRDs and standard AGN, offering direct evidence that LRDs are powered by supermassive black holes and providing insight into their accretion properties."}],"volume":1000,"date_created":"2026-04-12T22:01:48Z","file_date_updated":"2026-05-04T07:11:37Z","date_published":"2026-03-20T00:00:00Z","article_type":"original","year":"2026","intvolume":"      1000","oa":1,"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"issue":"1","acknowledgement":"We would like to thank the anonymous reviewer for their constructive comments, which improved the final manuscript.\r\n\r\nWe thank Bernd Husemann for his critical contributions to the NIRSpec Wide GTO survey, and in particular his help in selecting high-priority X-ray-luminous targets.\r\n\r\nR.E.H. acknowledges support by the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) through program 50OR2403 “RUBIES.” A.d.G. acknowledges support from a Clay Fellowship awarded by the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory.

We study this problem using JWST imaging and prism spectroscopy for 412 galaxies at 4.5 < z < 9.0. We fit these data simultaneously with stellar population and nebular emission models that include a parameter for the fraction of ionizing photons that escape the galaxy, fesc. We find that the ionization production efficiency, ξion = Q(H0)/LUV, increases with redshift and decreasing UV luminosity, but shows significant scatter, (log ion z, MUV) 0.3 dex. The inferred escape fractions averaged over the population are low, ranging from〈fesc〉 ≃ 2.6% ± 1.4% at 6 < z < 9 to 6.5% ± 2.2% at 4.5 < z < 6, with weak or no indication of evolution with redshift. This implies that in our models most of the ionizing photons need to be absorbed to account for the nebular emission. We compute the impact of our results on reionization, including the distributions for ξion and fesc, and the evolution and uncertainty of the UV luminosity function. Considering galaxies brighter than MUV < −16 mag would produce an intergalactic medium hydrogen-ionized fraction of xe = 0.5 at 5.3 < z < 5.8, possibly too late compared to constraints from from quasistellar\r\nobject (QSO) sight lines. Including fainter galaxies, MUV < −14 mag, we obtain xe = 0.5 at 6.0 < z < 8.1, fully consistent with QSO and cosmic microwave background data. This implies that EoR galaxies produce plenty of ionizing photons, but that these do not efficiently escape. This may be a result of high gas column densities combined with burstier star formation histories, which limit the time massive stars are able to clear channels through the gas for ionizing photons to escape."}],"month":"03","oa":1,"acknowledgement":"We wish to thank our colleagues in the CEERS collaboration for their hard work and valuable contributions on this project.

They enable higher sample loading, improve chromatographic performance, and protect the analytical column by removing salts and contaminants. Recently, monolithic trap columns with micropillar architecture have emerged as alternatives to conventionally packed traps. This study compares the performance of a packed and a micropillar monolithic trap column for the analysis of tryptic peptides. Methods: A tryptic digest of HeLa cell lysate was analyzed under identical LC–MS conditions using both trap types. Peptides were detected at 214 nm and analyzed by nano-ESI on a Q Exactive Plus Orbitrap. Data were searched against the human UniProt database (February 2023) using FragPipe v20.0, and statistical evaluation of MaxLFQ intensities was performed in Perseus using Welch’s t-test and clustering analysis. Results: Over 2500 proteins were identified with both setups. The packed trap column yielded more total peptides, particularly those with post-translational modifications and higher hydrophilicity, whereas the monolithic column favored peptides of intermediate hydrophobicity. Chromatographic profiles confirmed a slight reduction in the trapping efficiency of hydrophilic peptides by the monolithic trap. Conclusions: Trap column design significantly influences peptide recovery and proteome coverage."}],"DOAJ_listed":"1","PlanS_conform":"1","author":[{"last_name":"Miletić Vukajlović","first_name":"Jadranka","full_name":"Miletić Vukajlović, Jadranka"},{"full_name":"Ilić, Bojana","first_name":"Bojana","last_name":"Ilić"},{"id":"70abbbb3-88ea-11ec-8e0a-e8c939944834","full_name":"Bruszel, Bella","last_name":"Bruszel","first_name":"Bella"},{"full_name":"Panić-Janković, Tanja","last_name":"Panić-Janković","first_name":"Tanja"},{"last_name":"Mitulović","first_name":"Goran","full_name":"Mitulović, Goran"}],"publication_status":"published","article_number":"10","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"pmid":1,"external_id":{"pmid":["41893725"]}},{"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","scopus_import":"1","oa_version":"Published Version","status":"public","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1538-4357"],"issn":["0004-637X"]},"doi":"10.3847/1538-4357/ae29a7","quality_controlled":"1","article_processing_charge":"Yes","type":"journal_article","ddc":["520"],"title":"Lomb-scargle periodogram struggles with non-sinusoidal supermassive Black Hole binary signatures in quasar lightcurves","_id":"21712","OA_place":"publisher","file":[{"date_updated":"2026-05-04T10:24:49Z","file_name":"2026_AstrophysicalJour_Lin.pdf","file_id":"21789","checksum":"5162d1539ef7d10927ef73d8b4500017","success":1,"content_type":"application/pdf","file_size":2619679,"creator":"dernst","access_level":"open_access","date_created":"2026-05-04T10:24:49Z","relation":"main_file"}],"department":[{"_id":"ZoHa"}],"publisher":"IOP Publishing","publication":"The Astrophysical Journal","has_accepted_license":"1","citation":{"chicago":"Lin, Allison, Maria Charisi, and Zoltán Haiman. “Lomb-Scargle Periodogram Struggles with Non-Sinusoidal Supermassive Black Hole Binary Signatures in Quasar Lightcurves.” <i>The Astrophysical Journal</i>.

At subparsec separations, SMBHBs can be identified as quasars with periodic variability, with previous periodicity searches uncovering significant candidates. However, these searches focused primarily on sinusoidal signals, while theoretical models and hydrodynamical simulations predict that binaries produce more complex non-sinusoidal pulse shapes. Here we examine the efficacy of the Lomb–Scargle periodogram (LSP; one of the most popular tools for periodicity searches in unevenly sampled lightcurves) to detect periodicities with a sawtooth shape mimicking results of hydrodynamical simulations. We simulate idealized well-sampled lightcurves, lightcurves that mimic the data in the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) analyzed in M. Charisi et al. (2016), and lightcurves that resemble our expectations for single-band data in the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) of the Rubin Observatory. We approximate quasar variability with a damped random walk (DRW) model, inject sinusoidal and sawtooth pulse shapes, and assess their statistical significance. We find that in the presence of red noise, the LSP detects a relatively low fraction of the sinusoidal signals (∼45%, ∼24%, and ∼23%, in the PTF-like, idealized, and LSST-like lightcurves, respectively). The fraction is significantly reduced for sawtooth periodicity (with only ∼9% in PTF-like and ∼1% in idealized and LSST-like lightcurves). These low recovery rates imply that previous searches have missed the large majority of binaries. They also have significant implications for the detection of SMBHBs in upcoming LSST necessitating the development of advanced tools that go beyond the simple LSP.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":997},{"type":"journal_article","article_processing_charge":"Yes","arxiv":1,"ddc":["520"],"oa_version":"Published Version","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","scopus_import":"1","quality_controlled":"1","doi":"10.3847/2041-8213/ae2bff","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["2041-8213"],"issn":["2041-8205"]},"status":"public","day":"10","date_updated":"2026-05-04T09:54:18Z","OA_type":"gold","OA_place":"publisher","_id":"21713","title":"Accretion is all you need: Black Hole spin alignment in merger GW231123 indicates accretion pathway","citation":{"chicago":"Bartos, Imre, and Zoltán Haiman. “Accretion Is All You Need: Black Hole Spin Alignment in Merger GW231123 Indicates Accretion Pathway.” <i>The Astrophysical Journal Letters</i>.

The component spins are both exceptionally high (a1 = 0.90 +0.10/-0.19, a2 = 0.80 +0.20/-0.51), which is difficult to explain with repeated mergers. Here we show that the black hole spin vectors are closely aligned with each other while significantly tilted relative to the binary’s orbital angular momentum, pointing to a common accretion-driven origin. We examine astrophysical formation channels capable of producing near-equal, high-mass, and mutually aligned spins consistent with GW231123—particularly binaries embedded in AGN disks and Population III remnants, which grew via coherent misaligned gas accretion. We further argue that other high-mass, high-spin events, e.g., GW190521, may share a similar evolutionary pathway. These findings underscore the critical role of sustained, coherent accretion in shaping the most extreme black hole binaries.","lang":"eng"}],"month":"01","volume":996,"year":"2026","article_type":"original","date_published":"2026-01-10T00:00:00Z","file_date_updated":"2026-05-04T09:49:53Z","date_created":"2026-04-12T22:01:49Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"The authors thank Davide Gerosa and Matthew Mould for valuable suggestions.

In this Letter, we propose a new formation scenario for black hole (BH) + Be star binaries (hereafter BHBe binaries), where the Be star is produced through the wind Roche lobe overflow (WRLOF) mechanism. Our analysis is based on numerical simulations of the WRLOF process in massive binaries, building on recent theoretical work. We demonstrate that the WRLOF model can efficiently form BHBe binaries under reasonable assumptions on stellar wind velocities. Using rapid binary population synthesis, we estimate the population of such systems in the Milky Way, predicting ∼1800−3200 currently existing BHBe binaries originating from the WRLOF channel. These systems are characterized by high eccentricities and exceptionally wide orbits, with typical orbital periods exceeding 1000 days and a peak distribution around ∼10,000 days. Due to their long orbital separations, these BHBe binaries are promising targets for future detection via astrometric and interferometric observations.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":996,"user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa_version":"Published Version","scopus_import":"1","status":"public","quality_controlled":"1","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2041-8205"],"eissn":["2041-8213"]},"doi":"10.3847/2041-8213/ae3008","article_processing_charge":"Yes","arxiv":1,"type":"journal_article","ddc":["520"],"_id":"21714","title":"Formation of Be stars via wind accretion: Case study on Black Hole + Be star binaries","OA_place":"publisher","department":[{"_id":"YlGo"}],"publisher":"IOP Publishing","file":[{"success":1,"checksum":"09200c1cf405101abdd298ce80c9a90d","file_id":"21741","file_name":"2026_AstrophysicalJourLetters_Li.pdf","date_updated":"2026-04-16T06:24:30Z","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2026-04-16T06:24:30Z","access_level":"open_access","creator":"dernst","file_size":5202345,"content_type":"application/pdf"}],"citation":{"ama":"Li Z, Jia S, Wei D, et al.

Leveraging X-ray through far-infrared observations of two of the most luminous known little red dots, we directly measure their bolometric luminosities. We find evidence that more than half of the bolometric luminosity likely emerges in the rest-frame optical, with Lbol/L5100 = 5, roughly half the value for “standard” active galactic nuclei. Meanwhile, the X-ray emitting corona, UV-emitting blackbody, and reprocessed mid to far-infrared emission are all considerably subdominant, assuming that the far-infrared luminosity is well below current measured limits. We present new bolometric corrections that dramatically lower inferred bolometric luminosities by a factor of 10 compared to published values in the literature. These bolometric corrections are in accord with expectations from models in which gas absorption and reprocessing are responsible for the red rest-frame optical colors of little red dots. We discuss how this lowered luminosity scale suggests a lower mass scale for the population by at least an order of magnitude (e.g., ∼105–107 M⊙ black holes, and ∼108 M⊙ galaxies), alleviating tensions with clustering, overmassive black holes, and the integrated black hole mass density in the Universe.","lang":"eng"}],"month":"01","DOAJ_listed":"1","PlanS_conform":"1","project":[{"_id":"bd9b2118-d553-11ed-ba76-db24564edfea","name":"Young galaxies as tracers and agents of cosmic reionization","grant_number":"101076224"}],"author":[{"full_name":"Greene, Jenny E.","last_name":"Greene","first_name":"Jenny E."},{"full_name":"Setton, David J.","first_name":"David J.","last_name":"Setton"},{"full_name":"Furtak, Lukas J.","last_name":"Furtak","first_name":"Lukas J."},{"last_name":"Naidu","first_name":"Rohan P.","full_name":"Naidu, Rohan P."},{"last_name":"Volonteri","first_name":"Marta","full_name":"Volonteri, Marta"},{"last_name":"Dayal","first_name":"Pratika","full_name":"Dayal, Pratika"},{"full_name":"Labbe, Ivo","first_name":"Ivo","last_name":"Labbe"},{"full_name":"Van Dokkum, Pieter","first_name":"Pieter","last_name":"Van Dokkum"},{"full_name":"Bezanson, Rachel","last_name":"Bezanson","first_name":"Rachel"},{"first_name":"Gabriel","last_name":"Brammer","full_name":"Brammer, Gabriel"},{"full_name":"Cutler, Sam E.","first_name":"Sam E.","last_name":"Cutler"},{"full_name":"Glazebrook, Karl","first_name":"Karl","last_name":"Glazebrook"},{"full_name":"De Graaff, Anna","first_name":"Anna","last_name":"De Graaff"},{"full_name":"Hirschmann, Michaela","first_name":"Michaela","last_name":"Hirschmann"},{"full_name":"Hviding, Raphael E.","first_name":"Raphael E.","last_name":"Hviding"},{"full_name":"Kokorev, Vasily","first_name":"Vasily","last_name":"Kokorev"},{"full_name":"Leja, Joel","first_name":"Joel","last_name":"Leja"},{"full_name":"Liu, Hanpu","first_name":"Hanpu","last_name":"Liu"},{"full_name":"Ma, Yilun","first_name":"Yilun","last_name":"Ma"},{"orcid":"0000-0003-2871-127X","full_name":"Matthee, Jorryt J","id":"7439a258-f3c0-11ec-9501-9df22fe06720","first_name":"Jorryt J","last_name":"Matthee"},{"first_name":"Themiya","last_name":"Nanayakkara","full_name":"Nanayakkara, Themiya"},{"full_name":"Oesch, Pascal A.","first_name":"Pascal A.","last_name":"Oesch"},{"full_name":"Pan, Richard","last_name":"Pan","first_name":"Richard"},{"last_name":"Price","first_name":"Sedona H.","full_name":"Price, Sedona H."},{"first_name":"Justin S.","last_name":"Spilker","full_name":"Spilker, Justin S."},{"last_name":"Wang","first_name":"Bingjie","full_name":"Wang, Bingjie"},{"full_name":"Weaver, John R.","last_name":"Weaver","first_name":"John R."},{"full_name":"Whitaker, Katherine E.","last_name":"Whitaker","first_name":"Katherine E."},{"first_name":"Christina C.","last_name":"Williams","full_name":"Williams, Christina C."},{"first_name":"Adi","last_name":"Zitrin","full_name":"Zitrin, Adi"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2509.05434"]},"article_number":"129","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"publication_status":"published","citation":{"ista":"Greene JE, Setton DJ, Furtak LJ, Naidu RP, Volonteri M, Dayal P, Labbe I, Van Dokkum P, Bezanson R, Brammer G, Cutler SE, Glazebrook K, De Graaff A, Hirschmann M, Hviding RE, Kokorev V, Leja J, Liu H, Ma Y, Matthee JJ, Nanayakkara T, Oesch PA, Pan R, Price SH, Spilker JS, Wang B, Weaver JR, Whitaker KE, Williams CC, Zitrin A. 2026.

An objective is a set of runs (or infinite trajectories) of the RMDP, and the value for an objective is the maximal probability that the agent can guarantee against the adversarial environment. We consider (a) reachability objectives, where given a target set of states, the goal is to eventually arrive at one of them; and (b) parity objectives, which are a canonical representation for ω-regular objectives. The qualitative analysis problem asks whether the objective can be ensured with probability 1. In this work, we study the qualitative problem for reachability and parity objectives on RMDPs without making any assumption over the structures of the RMDPs, e.g., unichain or aperiodic. Our contributions are twofold. We first present efficient algorithms with oracle access to uncertainty sets that solve qualitative problems of reachability and parity objectives. We then report experimental results demonstrating the effectiveness of our oracle-based approach on classical RMDP examples from the literature scaling up to thousands of states.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":40,"date_created":"2026-04-12T22:01:50Z","date_published":"2026-03-14T00:00:00Z","year":"2026","intvolume":"        40","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"This work was supported by ERC CoG 863818 (ForMSMArt) and Austrian Science Fund (FWF) 10.55776/COE12.

Specifically, our framework dynamically maintains a variant of the hierarchical 𝑗-tree decomposition of [Madry FOCS’10], achieving a poly-logarithmic approximation factor to the graph’s cut structure and supporting edge updates in 𝑂⁡(𝑛𝜀) amortized update time, for any arbitrarily small constant 𝜀 ∈(0,1).\r\nConsequently, we obtain new trade-offs between approximation and update/query time for fundamental cut-based optimization problems in the fully dynamic setting, including all-pairs minimum cuts, sparsest cut, multi-way cut, and multi-cut. For the last three problems, these trade-offs give the first fully-dynamic algorithms achieving poly-logarithmic approximation in sub-linear time per operation.\r\nThe main technical ingredient behind our dynamic hierarchy is a dynamic cut-sparsifier algorithm that can handle vertex splits with low recourse. This is achieved by white-boxing the dynamic cut sparsifier construction of [Abraham et al. FOCS’16], based on forest packing, together with new structural insights about the maintenance of these forests under vertex splits. Given the versatility of cut sparsification in both the static and dynamic graph algorithms literature, we believe this construction may be of independent interest.","lang":"eng"}],"month":"01","volume":"2026-January","project":[{"_id":"bd9ca328-d553-11ed-ba76-dc4f890cfe62","name":"The design and evaluation of modern fully dynamic data structures","call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"101019564"},{"grant_number":"I05982","name":"Static and Dynamic Hierarchical Graph Decompositions","_id":"bda196b2-d553-11ed-ba76-8e8ee6c21103"}],"external_id":{"arxiv":["2601.09139"]},"publication_status":"published","author":[{"full_name":"Goranci, Gramoz","first_name":"Gramoz","last_name":"Goranci"},{"last_name":"Henzinger","first_name":"Monika H","id":"540c9bbd-f2de-11ec-812d-d04a5be85630","orcid":"0000-0002-5008-6530","full_name":"Henzinger, Monika H"},{"first_name":"Peter","last_name":"Kiss","full_name":"Kiss, Peter"},{"full_name":"Momeni, Ali","last_name":"Momeni","first_name":"Ali"},{"full_name":"Zöcklein, Gernot","id":"45d5e826-47af-11f1-84e5-ba87c23fe681","first_name":"Gernot","last_name":"Zöcklein"}]},{"volume":2026,"abstract":[{"text":"We present an exact fully-dynamic minimum cut algorithm that runs in 𝑛𝑜⁡(1) deterministic update time when the minimum cut size is at most 2Θ⁡(log3/4−𝑐⁡𝑛) for any 𝑐 >0, improving on the previous algorithm of Jin, Sun, and Thorup (SODA 2024) whose minimum cut size limit is (log⁡𝑛)𝑜⁡(1).

They are force-free and can be described as hydrodynamic force dipoles: pushers or pullers. This modelling description is broadly used in biological physics and active matter research, and it has successfully predicted, for example, the superfluid behaviour of suspensions of pushers or the bend instability and emergence of turbulent flows in active nematics. However, this description accounts only for the translational motion of the swimming body and neglects the effects of hydrodynamic torque dipoles, which are relevant to bacteria with rotary motor-driven flagella, such as swimming Escherichia coli. Here we show that the torque dipole of confined swimming E. coli can power the persistent rotation of symmetric discs. The torque dipole leads to a traction force on the discs, an additive mechanism that is both contactless and independent of the orientation of the bacteria. Our results indicate that the torque dipole of swimming E. coli is notable in confined geometries, which is relevant to bacterial transport through porous materials, biofilms and the development of chiral fluids."}]},{"abstract":[{"lang":"eng","text":"Partially observable Markov decision processes (POMDPs) are a central model for uncertainty in sequential decision making. The most basic objective is the reachability objective, where a target set must be eventually visited, and the more general parity objectives can model all omega-regular specifications. For such objectives, the computational analysis problems are the following: (a) qualitative analysis that asks whether the objective can be satisfied with probability 1 (almost-sure winning) or probability arbitrarily close to 1 (limit-sure winning); and (b) quantitative analysis that asks for the approximation of the optimal probability of satisfying the objective. For general POMDPs, almost-sure analysis for reachability objectives is EXPTIME-complete, but limit-sure and quantitative analyses for reachability objectives are undecidable; almost-sure, limit-sure, and quantitative analyses for parity objectives are all undecidable. A special class of POMDPs, called revealing POMDPs, has been studied recently in several works, and for this subclass the almost-sure analysis for parity objectives was shown to be EXPTIME-complete. In this work, we show that for revealing POMDPs the limit-sure analysis for parity objectives is EXPTIME-complete, and even the quantitative analysis for parity objectives can be achieved in EXPTIME."}],"month":"03","volume":40,"year":"2026","date_published":"2026-03-14T00:00:00Z","date_created":"2026-04-12T22:01:52Z","issue":"43","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"This work was partially supported by the ANRT under the French CIFRE Ph.D program in collaboration between NyxAir and Paris-Dauphine University (Contract: CIFRE N° 2022/0513), by the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) under reference ANR-21-CE40-\r\n0020 (CONVERGENCE project), by Austrian Science Fund (FWF) 10.55776/COE12, and by the ERC CoG 863818 (ForM-SMArt) grant.","intvolume":"        40","corr_author":"1","external_id":{"arxiv":["2511.13134"]},"publication_status":"published","author":[{"first_name":"Ali","last_name":"Asadi","full_name":"Asadi, Ali","id":"02d96aae-000e-11ec-b801-cadd0a5eefbb"},{"last_name":"Chatterjee","first_name":"Krishnendu","id":"2E5DCA20-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","orcid":"0000-0002-4561-241X","full_name":"Chatterjee, Krishnendu"},{"first_name":"David","last_name":"Lurie","full_name":"Lurie, David","id":"579a6c20-34cf-11f1-acbd-8c2f19cdb4da"},{"last_name":"Saona Urmeneta","first_name":"Raimundo J","id":"BD1DF4C4-D767-11E9-B658-BC13E6697425","orcid":"0000-0001-5103-038X","full_name":"Saona Urmeneta, Raimundo J"}],"project":[{"_id":"0599E47C-7A3F-11EA-A408-12923DDC885E","name":"Formal Methods for Stochastic Models: Algorithms and Applications","grant_number":"863818","call_identifier":"H2020"}],"day":"14","date_updated":"2026-05-04T11:44:14Z","OA_type":"green","OA_place":"repository","_id":"21722","title":"Revealing POMDPs: Qualitative and quantitative analysis for parity objectives","citation":{"mla":"Asadi, Ali, et al. “Revealing POMDPs: Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis for Parity Objectives.” <i>Proceedings of the AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence</i>, vol. 40, no. 43, Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, 2026, pp. 36146–54, doi:<a href=\"https://doi.org/10.1609/aaai.v40i43.40932\">10.1609/aaai.v40i43.40932</a>.","apa":"Asadi, A., Chatterjee, K., Lurie, D., &#38; Saona Urmeneta, R.

Open clusters offer the most straightforward way to empirically determine the IFMR, as their well-defined ages allow for direct progenitor lifetime estimates. We construct the most comprehensive open cluster WD IFMR to date by combining new spectroscopy of 22 WDs with an extensive literature review of WDs with strong cluster associations. To minimize systematics, we restrict our analysis to spectroscopically confirmed hydrogen-atmosphere (DA) WDs consistent with single-stellar origins. We separately analyze a subset with reliable Gaia-based astrometric membership assessments, as well as a full sample that adds WDs with strong cluster associations whose membership cannot be reliably assessed with Gaia. The Gaia-based sample includes 69 spectroscopically confirmed DA WDs, more than doubling the sample size of previous Gaia-based open cluster IFMRs. The full sample, which includes 53 additional literature WDs,\r\nincreases the total number of cluster WDs by over 50% relative to earlier works. We provide functional forms for both the Gaia-based and full-sample IFMRs. The Gaia-based result useful for Mi � 2.67 M⊙ is Mf = [0.179 0.100H (Mi 3.84 M )] × (Mi 3.84 M ) + 0.628 M , where H(x) is the Heaviside step function. Comparing our IFMR to recent literature, we identify significant deviations from best-fit IFMRs derived from both Gaia-based volume-limited samples of field WDs and double WD binaries, with the largest discrepancy occurring for initial masses of about 5 M⊙.","lang":"eng"}],"volume":996,"PlanS_conform":"1","DOAJ_listed":"1","publication_status":"published","tmp":{"image":"/images/cc_by.png","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode","short":"CC BY (4.0)","name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)"},"article_number":"69","external_id":{"arxiv":["2510.24877"]},"author":[{"last_name":"Miller","first_name":"David R.","full_name":"Miller, David R."},{"id":"8ae5b6e7-2a03-11ee-914d-b58ed7a3b47d","orcid":"0000-0002-4770-5388","full_name":"Caiazzo, Ilaria","last_name":"Caiazzo","first_name":"Ilaria"},{"full_name":"Heyl, Jeremy","first_name":"Jeremy","last_name":"Heyl"},{"full_name":"Richer, Harvey B.","last_name":"Richer","first_name":"Harvey B."},{"full_name":"Hollands, Mark A.","last_name":"Hollands","first_name":"Mark A."},{"full_name":"Tremblay, Pier Emmanuel","last_name":"Tremblay","first_name":"Pier Emmanuel"},{"full_name":"El-Badry, Kareem","last_name":"El-Badry","first_name":"Kareem"},{"first_name":"Antonio C.","last_name":"Rodriguez","full_name":"Rodriguez, Antonio C."},{"last_name":"Vanderbosch","first_name":"Zachary P.","full_name":"Vanderbosch, Zachary P."}],"_id":"21725","title":"The White Dwarf initial–final mass relation from open clusters in Gaia DR3","OA_place":"publisher","file":[{"access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","date_created":"2026-04-13T08:36:50Z","file_size":19310053,"content_type":"application/pdf","creator":"dernst","checksum":"65a8237a519188af83b6dc4d47ad85fa","file_id":"21733","success":1,"date_updated":"2026-04-13T08:36:50Z","file_name":"2026_AstrophysicalJournal_Miller.pdf"}],"department":[{"_id":"IlCa"}],"publisher":"IOP Publishing","publication":"The Astrophysical Journal","has_accepted_license":"1","keyword":["White dwarf stars","Open star clusters","Compact objects","Stellar evolution"],"citation":{"ieee":"D.

Floquet engineering, the coherent dressing of quantum states with periodic non-resonant optical fields, has become an important strategy for quantum control. Most applications to solid-state systems have targeted weakly interacting or single-ion states, leaving the manipulation of many-body wavefunctions largely unexplored. Here we use Floquet engineering to achieve quantum control of a strongly correlated Hubbard exciton in the one-dimensional Mott insulator Sr2CuO3. A non-resonant mid-infrared optical field coherently dresses the exciton wavefunction, driving its rotation between bright and dark states. We use resonant third-harmonic generation to quantify ultrafast π/2 rotations on the Bloch sphere spanned by these exciton states. Our work advances the quest towards programmable control of correlated states and exciton-based quantum sensing."}],"month":"03","article_type":"original","year":"2026","date_published":"2026-03-09T00:00:00Z","date_created":"2026-04-12T22:01:53Z","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"acknowledgement":"We thank K.

Moreover, it is a potential biomarker of diabetes when present in aberrant concentrations. Therefore, monitoring trace levels of H2O2 has become a research hotspot for analytical and sensor chemists. In this context, we report a rhodamine-based fluorescent probe (RN), which shows excellent fluorescent enhancement at 555 nm upon the addition of H2O2 along with a low limit of detection (LOD) of 0.67 ppm and fast response (∼2 min). The probe is highly selective for H2O2, showing no fluorescence enhancement with other ROS. RN is synthesised in a one-pot chemical reaction using rhodamine 6G (R6G) and 4,7,10-trioxa-1,13-tridecanediamine (TTDA). H2O2 detection in pre-treated milk samples proves its real-world viability. We found that RN shows low cytotoxicity, which allowed us to successfully explore its potential to monitor H2O2 generation in a diabetic L929 skin cell line and diabetic mice liver tissue. This result demonstrates promising features for assessing early diabetic progression through fluorescence imaging."}],"month":"04","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"LifeSc"}],"date_published":"2026-04-10T00:00:00Z","year":"2026","article_type":"original","date_created":"2026-04-13T07:45:26Z","acknowledgement":"MM acknowledges the Government of India for DST-INSPIRE\r\nfellowship [IF200389] and Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Research (BMBWF) and the OeAD – Austria’s Agency for Education and Internationalisation for an Ernst Mach Grant, weltweit (grant number MPC-2024-01518) for research internship at ISTA.
