However, this prediction stands in stark contrast to observations, where only a few per cent of CVs are found in this evolutionary phase. A potential solution to this discrepancy is that a magnetic field emerges from within the white dwarf after the system has reached the period minimum. The transfer of angular momentum from the spin of the white dwarf into the orbit then pushes the two stars apart, detaching them for potentially billions of years. Here we present the discovery of ZTF J021804.16+071152.93, a detached 0.69 +- 0.01 M⁠, 19 MG magnetic white dwarf plus 37 +- 5MJup brown dwarf binary with an orbital period of 1.7 h. The kinematics of the system indicate that it is a high probability member of the Galactic thick disc. However, this strongly disagrees with the much younger age of the system obtained from the white dwarf parameters, implying that the system may have been accreting in the past. This system is therefore consistent with having detached as a result of the emergence of the magnetic field of the white dwarf when the system was still mass transferring, and may represent the ultimate fate for many (perhaps even most) CVs."}],"doi":"10.1093/mnras/stag521","issue":"4","acknowledgement":"The results presented in this paper are based on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory under programme IDs 113.D-0277 and 114.D-0066 and on observations made with the Gran Telescopio Canarias (programme ID GTC119-23B), installed in the Spanish Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos of the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias, on the island of La Palma.\r\n\r\nSGP acknowledges support by the Science and Technology Facilities Council (grant ST/B001174/1).

We strengthen this result under various additional assumptions on the point set. In particular, we prove that for a set A of n randomly selected points, uniformly distributed in [0,1]2, with probability tending to 1 as n→∞, the edge set of Kn[A] can be covered by O(nlogn) crossing-free paths and by O(n√logn) crossing-free matchings.

Ensembles of these singularities exhibit distance correlations resembling particles in liquids5,6,7,8, extensively studied for their role in exotic material phases9,10,11. By contrast, the full correlations in phase space that govern the system evolution have remained unexplored and experimentally inaccessible. Here we directly measure the ultrafast dynamics of optical singularity ensembles, capturing their full phase-space correlations, presenting the joint distance–velocity distribution. Our observations show a breakdown of the particle-singularity analogy12: phase singularities accelerate towards formally divergent velocities in the moment before annihilation7,13,14, indicated by measurements of velocities exceeding the speed of light. These apparent superluminal velocities are paradoxically amplified by the slow group velocity of hyperbolic phonon polaritons in our material platform, hexagonal boron nitride membranes15,16,17,18,19. We demonstrate these phenomena using combined hardware and algorithmic advances in ultrafast electron microscopy18,20,21,22,23,24,25, achieving spatial and temporal resolutions, each an order of magnitude below the polaritonic wavelength and cycle period. Our findings deepen our understanding of phase singularities and their universality, enabling to probe topological defect dynamics at previously unattainable timescales.","lang":"eng"}],"author":[{"last_name":"Bucher","first_name":"T.","full_name":"Bucher, T."},{"full_name":"Gorlach, A.","first_name":"A.","last_name":"Gorlach"},{"last_name":"Niedermayr","full_name":"Niedermayr, A.","first_name":"A."},{"first_name":"Q.","full_name":"Yan, Q.","last_name":"Yan"},{"full_name":"Nahari, H.","first_name":"H.","last_name":"Nahari"},{"full_name":"Wang, K.","first_name":"K.","last_name":"Wang"},{"full_name":"Ruimy, R.","first_name":"R.","last_name":"Ruimy"},{"last_name":"Adiv","full_name":"Adiv, Y.","first_name":"Y."},{"last_name":"Yannai","first_name":"M.","full_name":"Yannai, M."},{"first_name":"T.

A variety of models with distinct complexity and data requirements have been developed and widely used to simulate melt under debris at different sites and scales, but their skills have never been compared. As part of the activities of the International Association of Cryospheric Sciences (IACS) Debris Covered Glacier Working Group, we present an intercomparison exercise aimed at advancing our understanding of model skills in simulating ice melt under a debris layer. We compare 15 models with different complexity at nine sites in the European Alps, Caucasus, Chilean Andes, Nepalese Himalaya and the Southern Alps of New Zealand, over one melt season. We run the models with measured meteorological data from automatic weather stations and estimated or measured debris properties. We consider four main model categories: (i) energy balance models that calculate melt by solving the physics of heat transfer to the debris layer, but require a high amount of input data; (ii) a simplified energy balance model; (iii) enhanced temperature-index models; and (iv) simple empirical temperature-index models that have been extensively used given their low data requirement but require calibration of their empirical parameters. Model performance is evaluated using on-site measurements of sub-debris melt (for all models) and surface temperature (for models based on the surface energy balance). Our results show that physically-based energy balance models and empirical temperature-index models perform in a distinct manner. At one end of the spectrum, simple temperature-index models are accurate when recalibrated or when using site-specific literature parameters, and show poor results when parameters are uncalibrated. At the other end, energy balance models show a range of performance: the most accurate energy balance models are those with the highest degree of complexity at the atmosphere-debris interface. An important data gap emerged from our experiment: the poor performance of all models at three sites was related to the poor knowledge of debris properties, and specifically of thermal conductivity. Future work should focus on both: (i) consistent data acquisition to evaluate existing models and support new model developments; (ii) advancing models by accounting for processes such as debris-snow interactions, moisture in the debris and refreezing. We suggest that a systematic effort of model development using a common model framework could be carried out in phase II of the Working Group.","lang":"eng"}],"day":"02","doi":"10.5194/tc-20-1895-2026","article_type":"original","acknowledgement":"This project has received funding from the European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme grant agreement No\r\n772751, RAVEN, “Rapid mass losses of debris covered glaciers in\r\nHigh Mountain Asia”.

However, the frequency response under sinusoidal (AC) drivings offers rich insights into the time-dependent transport mechanisms. Inspired by recent electrochemical approaches, we investigate the couplings between ionic and electronic transport under AC driving. We show that conduction electrons of the channel walls participate in ionic current via capacitive electrochemical coupling, defining a critical frequency and length scale where electron-dominated conductivity emerges. We further analyze how electron–ion coupling modifies electro-osmotic flows and demonstrate that fluctuation-induced momentum transfer between the electrolyte and wall electrons produces distinct AC transport signatures, depending on the charge carrier polarity. Altogether, we establish a frequency-dependent transport matrix that couples ionic, electronic, and hydrodynamic flows. These findings establish AC nanofluidic transport as a powerful probe of interfacial phenomena under confinement and suggest new directions for engineering nanofluidic functionalities through electron–electrolyte coupling."}],"author":[{"orcid":"0000-0001-5524-596X","full_name":"Coquinot, Baptiste","first_name":"Baptiste","last_name":"Coquinot","id":"f8417bd4-f599-11ee-a482-b927e3ed1e8e"},{"first_name":"Mathieu","full_name":"Lizée, Mathieu","last_name":"Lizée"},{"first_name":"Lydéric","full_name":"Bocquet, Lydéric","last_name":"Bocquet"},{"first_name":"Nikita","full_name":"Kavokine, Nikita","last_name":"Kavokine"}],"arxiv":1,"oa":1,"date_published":"2026-04-07T00:00:00Z","_id":"21840","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","oa_version":"Published Version","PlanS_conform":"1","article_number":"134704","quality_controlled":"1","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"date_updated":"2026-05-18T07:34:57Z","status":"public","publication_status":"published","volume":164,"month":"04","OA_type":"hybrid","department":[{"_id":"MiLe"}],"type":"journal_article","OA_place":"publisher","scopus_import":"1","publication":"The Journal of Chemical Physics","language":[{"iso":"eng"}]},{"date_updated":"2026-05-18T07:51:26Z","status":"public","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"OA_type":"hybrid","month":"04","volume":232,"publication_status":"published","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"21841","oa_version":"Published Version","quality_controlled":"1","article_number":"iyag024","PlanS_conform":"1","publication":"Genetics","keyword":["classic genetics","quantitative genetics","genotype–phenotype map"],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"type":"journal_article","OA_place":"publisher","department":[{"_id":"NiBa"}],"scopus_import":"1","title":"Beyond Mendel: A call to revisit the genotype–phenotype map through new experimental paradigms","pmid":1,"has_accepted_license":"1","intvolume":"       232","year":"2026","date_created":"2026-05-07T08:53:40Z","publication_identifier":{"eissn":["1943-2631"]},"external_id":{"pmid":["41701356"]},"ddc":["570"],"file_date_updated":"2026-05-18T07:48:45Z","citation":{"ama":"Tautz D, Pallares LF, Andersson L, et al.

Yet this paradigm is increasingly recognized as inadequate for explaining continuous phenotypic variation and the complex genetic architectures of the genotype–phenotype map. Modern genetics emerged from the early 20th-century synthesis of Mendelian and biometric schools of heredity, with R.A. Fisher demonstrating early on how multiple discrete loci could collectively produce continuous variation. Despite this fundamental insight, Mendelism—with its focus on single genes and standardized genetic backgrounds—became the dominant framework, shaping current genetics research and molecular biology as well as science education. The advent of large-scale genomic data has revealed yet again the limitations of this reductionist approach. Evidence from quantitative genetics now shows that most phenotypes arise from complex networks of many interdependent genes and their dynamic responses to environmental perturbations. Here we trace the historical roots of how Mendelian classical genetics departed from the biometric school to create the current predominant paradigm in genetics, despite fundamentally unresolved issues. Moving on from this one-sided paradigm will require systematic development of integrative, evolutionarily grounded experimental approaches that better capture the multigenic and context-dependent nature of inheritance. Achieving such an extended perspective will require methodological innovation, including advances in large-scale (e.g. automated) phenotyping. Dedicated research programs will be necessary to advance a new era of genetic research into the complex mechanisms underlying phenotypic variation."}],"day":"01","date_published":"2026-04-01T00:00:00Z","oa":1,"author":[{"last_name":"Tautz","first_name":"Diethard","full_name":"Tautz, Diethard"},{"last_name":"Pallares","full_name":"Pallares, Luisa F","first_name":"Luisa F"},{"first_name":"Leif","full_name":"Andersson, Leif","last_name":"Andersson"},{"first_name":"Neda","full_name":"Barghi, Neda","last_name":"Barghi"},{"full_name":"Barton, Nicholas H","first_name":"Nicholas H","orcid":"0000-0002-8548-5240","id":"4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Barton"},{"last_name":"Bay","first_name":"Rachael","full_name":"Bay, Rachael"},{"full_name":"Chan, Yingguang Frank","first_name":"Yingguang Frank","last_name":"Chan"},{"last_name":"Hancock","full_name":"Hancock, Angela","first_name":"Angela"},{"last_name":"Kaiser","first_name":"Tobias S","full_name":"Kaiser, Tobias S"},{"full_name":"Koenig, Daniel","first_name":"Daniel","last_name":"Koenig"},{"full_name":"Kontarakis, Zacharias","first_name":"Zacharias","last_name":"Kontarakis"},{"first_name":"Miriam","full_name":"Liedvogel, Miriam","last_name":"Liedvogel"},{"full_name":"de Meaux, Juliette","first_name":"Juliette","last_name":"de Meaux"},{"first_name":"Magnus","full_name":"Nordborg, Magnus","last_name":"Nordborg"},{"last_name":"Palmer","first_name":"Abraham A","full_name":"Palmer, Abraham A"},{"first_name":"Michael","full_name":"Purugganan, Michael","last_name":"Purugganan"},{"full_name":"Schlötterer, Christian","first_name":"Christian","last_name":"Schlötterer"},{"last_name":"Schmid","first_name":"Karl","full_name":"Schmid, Karl"},{"first_name":"Didier Y R","full_name":"Stainier, Didier Y R","last_name":"Stainier"},{"full_name":"Weigel, Detlef","first_name":"Detlef","last_name":"Weigel"},{"first_name":"Jochen B W","full_name":"Wolf, Jochen B W","last_name":"Wolf"},{"last_name":"Ebert","full_name":"Ebert, Dieter","first_name":"Dieter"},{"last_name":"Gibson","full_name":"Gibson, Greg","first_name":"Greg"}],"article_type":"original","issue":"4","acknowledgement":"We thank a variety of further colleagues for the many inspiring discussions on the nature of heredity, especially the workshops in Berlin.

In this\r\npaper, we present spectroscopic and photometric results of 15 transient sources pre-classified as AM CVn candidates. Our analysis confirms\r\n9 systems of the type AM CVn, 3 hydrogen-rich cataclysmic variables (accreting white dwarfs with near-main-sequence stars for donors),\r\nand 3 systems that could be evolved cataclysmic variables. Eight of the AM CVn stars are analysed spectroscopically for the first time,\r\nwhich increases the number of spectroscopically confirmed AM CVns by about 10%. TESS data revealed the orbital period of the AM CVn\r\nstar ASASSN-20pv to be Porb =27.282 min, which helps to constrain the possible values of its mass ratio. TESS also helped to determine\r\nthe superhump periods of one AM CVn star (ASASSN-19ct, Psh =30.94 min) and two cataclysmic variables we classify as WZ Sge stars\r\n(Psh =90.77 min for ZTF18aaaasnn and Psh =91.6min for ASASSN-15na).We identified very different abundances in the spectra of theAM\r\nCVns binaries ASASSN-15kf and ASASSN-20pv (both Porb ∼27.5min), suggesting different type of donors.

Their high abundance at redshifts of z ∼ 6–8 and decline at lower redshifts suggest a transient origin. We propose that the spectral shape of LRDs originates from compact binary black hole systems, in which each black hole is surrounded by a mini-disk and embedded within a larger circumbinary disk. With a binary separation of ≲103 Schwarzschild radii, the Wien tail of a T ≃ 5000 K blackbody spectrum at the inner edge of the circumbinary disk produces the red optical emission, while the mini-disks power the UV continuum. Binary torques carve out a gap between the circumbinary disk and the mini-disks, setting the turnover wavelength of the V-shaped spectrum around the Balmer limit. This scenario naturally reproduces LRD spectra requiring only modest dust attenuation (AV ≲ 1 mag), resolving overestimated luminosities for LRDs in previous studies and alleviating a tension with the so-called Sołtan argument. This model predicts distinct spectral evolution as the binary orbit decays through binary disk interactions and gravitational-wave (GW) emission, linking early-stage “proto-LRD” binaries to the broader AGN population and late-stage “LRD descendants” to coalescing binaries detectable in GW experiments."}],"doi":"10.3847/1538-4357/ae548d","issue":"1","acknowledgement":"We greatly thank Kenta Hotokezaka and Hanpu Liu for constructive discussions.

One potential pairing mechanism, invoked in the related re-entrant superconductors UCoGe and URhGe, involves transverse fluctuations of a ferromagnetic order parameter. However, the requisite ferromagnetic order—present in both UCoGe and URhGe—is absent in UTe2, and neutron scattering shows instead that the magnetic susceptibility is peaked at an antiferromagnetic wavevector. Here, we measure the magnetotropic susceptibility of UTe2 across two field-angle planes. This quantity is sensitive to the magnetic susceptibility in a direction transverse to the applied magnetic field—a quantity that is not accessed in conventional magnetization measurements. We observe a very large decrease in the magnetotropic susceptibility over a broad range of field orientations, indicating a large increase in the transverse magnetic susceptibility. Because our technique probes the magnetic susceptibility in the long wavelength (q = 0) limit, this suggests that the strong transverse susceptibility arises from ferromagnetic spin fluctuations. These ferromagnetic fluctuations are likely important for understanding the pairing mechanism in UTe2, as all three superconducting phases of UTe2 surround this region of enhanced susceptibility in the field-angle phase diagram.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1038/s41467-026-71899-7","acknowledgement":"We appreciate technical support from Salvatore Bagiante, Evgeniia Volobueva, Lubuna Shafeek, Ali Bangura, and Zoltán Köllö, and scientific discussions with Daniel Agterberg, Johnpierre Paglione, Qimiao Si, Josephine Yu and Yue Yu.

This fraction is even higher when smaller spatial scales are probed at high signal-to-noise ratio: the two most strongly lensed LRDs, A383-LRD1 and the newly discovered A68-LRD1, both have UV-bright companions at separations of only d ∼ 0.3 kpc, below the resolution limit of most unlensed JWST samples. We explore whether these ubiquitous red/blue configurations may be physically linked to the formation of LRDs, in analogy with the “synchronized pair” scenario originally proposed for direct-collapse black hole formation. In this picture, UV radiation from the companions, with typically modest stellar masses (M∗ ∼ 108−109 M⊙), suppresses molecular hydrogen cooling in nearby gas, allowing nearly isothermal collapse and the formation of extremely compact objects, such as massive black holes, supermassive stars, or quasi-stars. Using component-resolved photometry and spectral energy distribution modeling, we infer Lyman–Werner radiation fields of J21,LW ∼ 102.5–105 at the locations of the red components, comparable to those required in direct-collapse models, suggesting that the necessary photodissociation conditions are realized in many LRD systems. This framework provides a simple and self-consistent explanation for the extreme compactness and distinctive spectral properties of LRDs and links long-standing theoretical models for early compact object formation directly to a population now observed with JWST in the early Universe.","lang":"eng"}],"PlanS_conform":"1","article_number":"L4","quality_controlled":"1","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","_id":"21846","oa_version":"Published Version","volume":1002,"publication_status":"published","month":"04","OA_type":"gold","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"date_updated":"2026-05-11T06:48:33Z","status":"public","scopus_import":"1","department":[{"_id":"ZoHa"},{"_id":"JoMa"}],"OA_place":"publisher","type":"journal_article","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"project":[{"_id":"bd9b2118-d553-11ed-ba76-db24564edfea","name":"Young galaxies as tracers and agents of cosmic reionization","grant_number":"101076224"}],"publication":"The Astrophysical Journal Letters"},{"_id":"21847","oa_version":"Published Version","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","article_number":"023094","quality_controlled":"1","PlanS_conform":"1","status":"public","date_updated":"2026-05-11T06:58:56Z","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"OA_type":"gold","month":"04","volume":8,"publication_status":"published","OA_place":"publisher","type":"journal_article","department":[{"_id":"EdHa"}],"scopus_import":"1","publication":"Physical Review Research","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"ddc":["530"],"file_date_updated":"2026-05-11T06:56:58Z","DOAJ_listed":"1","citation":{"chicago":"Moller, Frederik Skovbo, Gabriel Fernández-Fernández, Thomas Schweigler, Paulin De Schoulepnikoff, Jörg Schmiedmayer, and Gorka Muñoz-Gil. “Learning Minimal Representations of Many-Body Physics from Snapshots of a Quantum Simulator.” <i>Physical Review Research</i>.

However, extracting physical insights from experimental data is often hindered by measurement noise, limited observables, and incomplete knowledge of the underlying microscopic model. Here, we develop a machine learning approach based on a variational autoencoder (VAE) to analyze interference measurements of tunnel-coupled one-dimensional Bose gases, which realize the sine-Gordon quantum field theory. Trained in an unsupervised manner, the VAE learns a minimal latent representation that strongly correlates with the equilibrium control parameter of the system. Applied to nonequilibrium protocols, the latent space uncovers signatures of frozen-in solitons following rapid cooling, and reveals anomalous postquench dynamics not captured by conventional correlation-based methods. These results demonstrate that generative models can extract physically interpretable variables directly from noisy and sparse experimental data, providing complementary probes of equilibrium and nonequilibrium physics in quantum simulators. More broadly, our work highlights how machine learning can supplement established field-theoretical techniques, paving the way for scalable, data-driven discovery in quantum many-body systems."}],"day":"29","date_published":"2026-04-29T00:00:00Z","arxiv":1,"author":[{"first_name":"Frederik Skovbo","full_name":"Moller, Frederik Skovbo","id":"43cbcc83-0564-11f0-a935-e37325525859","last_name":"Moller"},{"last_name":"Fernández-Fernández","first_name":"Gabriel","full_name":"Fernández-Fernández, Gabriel"},{"first_name":"Thomas","full_name":"Schweigler, Thomas","last_name":"Schweigler"},{"first_name":"Paulin","full_name":"De Schoulepnikoff, Paulin","last_name":"De Schoulepnikoff"},{"full_name":"Schmiedmayer, Jörg","first_name":"Jörg","last_name":"Schmiedmayer"},{"last_name":"Muñoz-Gil","full_name":"Muñoz-Gil, Gorka","first_name":"Gorka"}],"oa":1},{"oa_version":"Preprint","_id":"21848","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"PreCl"}],"OA_type":"green","publication_status":"inpress","month":"04","date_updated":"2026-05-11T06:07:32Z","status":"public","main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1101/2025.06.25.661517"}],"scopus_import":"1","type":"journal_article","OA_place":"repository","department":[{"_id":"PreCl"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"publication":"Journal of Investigative Dermatology","citation":{"ama":"Klein K, Johnson L, Rîca R, et al.

By functionalizing lipid nanoparticles with a langerin-specific glycomimetic ligand, we achieve selective mRNA delivery to both murine and human primary Langerhans cells with minimal off-target uptake, at the same time resulting in significantly increased mRNA translation. This targeted mRNA delivery not only enhances antigen presentation and T-cell responses but also enables dose-sparing and superior antitumor immunity compared with conventional immunization in a B16-OVA tumor model.

At the molecular scale, this process depends on the deposition of epigenetic modifications—such as methylation—that are regulated by complex biochemical networks and occur at specific regions on the DNA and chromatin. Here we show that despite the complexity of epigenetic regulation, dynamical scaling and self-similarity of DNA methylation marks emerge in embryonic development. Drawing on single-cell multi-omics experiments, super-resolution microscopy and statistical physics, we demonstrate that these phenomena originate in dynamical feedback between DNA methylation and the formation of nanoscale dynamic chromatin aggregates. These nanoscale processes lead to genome-wide increase in DNA methylation marks following a power law and self-similar correlation functions. Using this framework, we identify methylation patterns that precede gene expression changes in embryonic symmetry breaking. Our work identifies linear sequencing measurements as a laboratory to study mesoscopic biophysical processes in vivo.","lang":"eng"}],"day":"29","date_published":"2026-04-29T00:00:00Z","author":[{"last_name":"Olmeda","id":"69dbf5fb-8a76-11ed-866b-fb486d8b5689","full_name":"Olmeda, Fabrizio","first_name":"Fabrizio"},{"last_name":"Lohoff","first_name":"Tim","full_name":"Lohoff, Tim"},{"last_name":"Kafetzopoulos","full_name":"Kafetzopoulos, Ioannis","first_name":"Ioannis"},{"first_name":"Stephen J.","full_name":"Clark, Stephen J.","last_name":"Clark"},{"full_name":"Benson, Laura","first_name":"Laura","last_name":"Benson"},{"last_name":"Santos","full_name":"Santos, Fatima","first_name":"Fatima"},{"last_name":"Krueger","first_name":"Felix","full_name":"Krueger, Felix"},{"last_name":"Walker","full_name":"Walker, Simon","first_name":"Simon"},{"last_name":"Reik","full_name":"Reik, Wolf","first_name":"Wolf"},{"last_name":"Rulands","first_name":"Steffen","full_name":"Rulands, Steffen"}],"oa":1,"oa_version":"Published Version","_id":"21849","user_id":"2DF688A6-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","quality_controlled":"1","PlanS_conform":"1","status":"public","date_updated":"2026-05-11T06:22:47Z","tmp":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License (CC-BY 4.0)","image":"/images/cc_by.png","short":"CC BY (4.0)","legal_code_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/legalcode"},"main_file_link":[{"open_access":"1","url":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41567-026-03263-x"}],"OA_type":"hybrid","publication_status":"epub_ahead","month":"04","type":"journal_article","OA_place":"publisher","department":[{"_id":"EdHa"}],"ec_funded":1,"scopus_import":"1","publication":"Nature Physics","project":[{"name":"IST-BRIDGE: International postdoctoral program","_id":"fc2ed2f7-9c52-11eb-aca3-c01059dda49c","call_identifier":"H2020","grant_number":"101034413"}],"language":[{"iso":"eng"}]},{"publication_status":"published","month":"05","degree_awarded":"PhD","status":"public","date_updated":"2026-05-19T11:20:28Z","related_material":{"record":[{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"14771","status":"public"},{"id":"18121","status":"public","relation":"part_of_dissertation"},{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"21858","status":"public"},{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","status":"public","id":"21859"},{"relation":"part_of_dissertation","id":"21857","status":"public"}]},"acknowledged_ssus":[{"_id":"ScienComp"}],"oa_version":"Published Version","_id":"21854","user_id":"8b945eb4-e2f2-11eb-945a-df72226e66a9","page":"237","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"project":[{"_id":"9B9290DE-BA93-11EA-9121-9846C619BF3A","name":"Vienna Graduate School on Computational Optimization","grant_number":"W1260-N35"}],"supervisor":[{"id":"4A899BFC-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","last_name":"Alistarh","first_name":"Dan-Adrian","full_name":"Alistarh, Dan-Adrian","orcid":"0000-0003-3650-940X"}],"corr_author":"1","alternative_title":["ISTA Thesis"],"department":[{"_id":"GradSch"},{"_id":"DaAl"}],"type":"dissertation","OA_place":"publisher","publication_identifier":{"issn":["2663-337X"]},"date_created":"2026-05-11T08:43:22Z","year":"2026","has_accepted_license":"1","title":"On the utility and effects of efficiency in artificial neural networks","publisher":"Institute of Science and Technology Austria","article_processing_charge":"No","file":[{"date_updated":"2026-05-11T08:36:01Z","file_size":28479571,"content_type":"application/zip","creator":"eiofinov","file_name":"EIofinova_thesis_FinalVersion.zip","date_created":"2026-05-11T08:36:01Z","file_id":"21856","checksum":"2e148dad920e3f9b7c32796e0ba2e5f7","access_level":"closed","relation":"source_file"},{"checksum":"b10c2933f386f532b2dbf28b19c5525c","access_level":"open_access","relation":"main_file","file_id":"21877","date_created":"2026-05-13T13:10:48Z","date_updated":"2026-05-13T13:10:48Z","file_size":18137757,"content_type":"application/pdf","success":1,"creator":"eiofinov","file_name":"2026_Iofinova_Eugenia_Thesis.pdf"}],"citation":{"chicago":"Iofinova, Eugenia B. “On the Utility and Effects of Efficiency in Artificial Neural Networks.” Institute of Science and Technology Austria, 2026. <a href=\"https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-21854\">https://doi.org/10.15479/AT-ISTA-21854</a>.","apa":"Iofinova, E.

To that end, many methods have been proposed to prune models by reducing their number of nonzero parameters. Additionally, parameter-efficient fine-tuning, in which a much smaller number of parameters than the total contained in the model is updated during training, has become very popular, especially in the space of Large Language Models. At the same time, the increasingly routine deployment of machine learning in real-world applications has spurred a drive to make them more trustworthy - in the sense of, among other things, being unbiased, interpretable, and editable. In this thesis, we examine the interplay between efficiency and trustworthiness.\r\n\r\nFirst, we analyze the effects of model pruning on bias in computer vision models, demonstrating that increased sparsity leads to greater bias, largely as a function of increased model uncertainty in marginal cases. Based on this observation, we propose several bias mitigation techniques. Then, we demonstrate that example-specific model pruning can improve model interpretation methods while improving pruning efficiency to make example-specific model pruning feasible in real time. Then, we investigate the effectiveness of parameter-efficient and data-efficient model personalization via fine-tuning, demonstrating that it is highly feasible with very small computational and data resources. Finally, we consider efficiency in editing model knowledge using a custom synthetic data framework, demonstrating that parameter-efficient, low-rank fine-tuning frequently outperforms full-rank fine-tuning, and, additionally, that restricting which model blocks are fine-tuned frequently improves results. Together, the results in this thesis provide new insights and techniques for combining trustworthiness and efficiency during neural network inference and training.\r\n\r\n-----------------“In reference to IEEE copyrighted material which is used with permission in this thesis, the IEEE does not endorse any of [name of university or educational entity]’s products or services.

Two key requirements for this functionality are personalization–in the sense that the output should recognizably reflect the user’s own writing style—and privacy–users may justifiably be wary of uploading extremely personal data, such as their email archive, to a third-party service. In this paper, we demonstrate the feasibility of training and running such an assistant, which we call Panza, on commodity hardware, for the specific use case of email generation. Panza’s personalization features are based on a combination of parameter-efficient fine-tuning using a variant of the Reverse Instructions technique [1] and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) [2]. We demonstrate that this combination allows us to fine-tune an LLM to reflect a user’s writing style using limited data, while executing on extremely limited resources, e.g. on a free Google Colab instance. Our key methodological contribution is the first detailed study of evaluation metrics for this task, and\r\nof how different choices of system components–the use of RAG and of different fine-tuning approaches–impact the system’s performance. Additionally, we demonstrate that very little data - under 100 email samples - are sufficient to create models that convincingly imitate humans, showcasing a previously unknown attack vector in language models. We are releasing the full Panza code as well as three new email datasets licensed for research use."}],"date_created":"2026-05-11T08:50:28Z","year":"2026","title":"Panza: Investigating the feasibility of fully-local personalized text generation","article_processing_charge":"No","publisher":"OpenReview","citation":{"apa":"Nicolicioiu, A., Iofinova, E.

This trend has inspired practical and academic interest in model editing, that is, in adjusting the weights of the model to modify its likely outputs for queries relating to a specific fact or set of facts. This may be done either to amend a fact or set of facts, for instance, to fix a frequent error in the training data, or to suppress a fact or set of facts entirely, for instance, in case of dangerous knowledge. Multiple methods have been proposed to do such edits. However, at the same time, it has been shown that such model editing can be brittle and incomplete. Moreover the effectiveness of any model editing method necessarily depends on the data on which the model is trained, and, therefore, a good understanding of the interaction of the training data distribution and the way it is stored in the network is necessary and helpful to reliably perform model editing. However, working with large language models trained on real-world data does not allow us to understand this relationship or fully measure the effects of model editing. We therefore propose Behemoth, a fully synthetic data generation framework. To demonstrate the practical insights from the framework, we explore model editing in the context of simple tabular data, demonstrating surprising findings that, in some cases, echo real-world results, for instance, that in some cases restricting the update rank results in a more effective update."}],"doi":"10.48550/arXiv.2601.23153","acknowledgement":"EI thanks Weiwei Yang, Janardhan Kulkani, and Kate Lytvynets for their advice and support in\r\ndeveloping an earlier version of the Behemoth library.

The α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (αKGDHC), an enzyme of the tricarboxylic acid cycle, represents a branching point controlling glutamate formation and its consumption as a fuel. Hence, modulation of the activity of αKGDHC might alter the amount of glutamate available for excitotoxic effects. To address this hypothesis, hippocampal neurons in primary co-culture with glial cells were exposed to zero-Mg2 buffer to elicit excitotoxicity through N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor disinhibition. Pretreatment of the cultures with succinyl phosphonate, to inhibit αKGDHC, enhanced excitotoxity, whereas promotion of αKGDHC activity by pretreatment with thiamine caused an opposite action. Moreover, NMDA receptor currents – but not those mediated by α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) receptors – were potentiated in neurons with impaired αKGDHC activity and diminished in neurons with boosted αKGDHC activity. The sensitization of NMDA receptors involved mGluR1 activation and was accompanied by enhanced neuronal discharge activity, elevated basal cytosolic Ca2+ levels, and augmented Ca2+ responses evoked by glutamate application. These results suggest that mGluR1-mediated potentiation of NMDA receptors contributes to a mechanism by which inhibition of αKGDHC might exacerbate glutamate excitotoxicity.","lang":"eng"}],"doi":"10.1242/jcs.264420","acknowledgement":"The technical assistance by Tanja Wagner and Elena Lilliu is gratefully acknowledged.
