text: It is predicted that half or more of all cataclysmic variables (CVs) should
have evolved past the period minimum and now exist as so-called period bouncers
where a white dwarf should be accreting from a Roche lobe filling substellar companion.
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.

text: "Given a set A of n points (vertices) in general position in the plane, the
complete geometric graph \r\nKn[A] consists of all (n2) segments (edges) between
the elements of A. It is known that the edge set of every complete geometric graph
on n vertices can be partitioned into O(n3∕2) crossing-free paths (or matchings).
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. On the other hand, we construct n-element point sets such that covering
the edge set of Kn[A] requires a quadratic number of monotone paths."

text: 'Phase singularities—points carrying quantized topological charge—are universal
features found across diverse wave systems from superfluids and superconductors
to acoustic and optical fields1,2,3,4. 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.'

text: 'In a warming world of glacier changes, the scientific community has dedicated
increasing attention to debris-covered glaciers and their response to climate.
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.'

text: We explore the use of a photoacid in a chemical reaction cycle, which allows
for the controlled sol‐to‐gel transition of a saccharide aldehyde‐based self‐assembling
system. The modulation of the pH with light enables to generate chemical fuels
in situ, thus triggering monomer activation and gelation. Our efforts represent
a promising step toward dissipative self‐assembled systems with a higher degree
of spatiotemporal control.

text: "Background & Aims: To develop and validate a CT-based radiomics model to
assess HVPG and predict a composite endpoint of liver-related events (LRE: decompensation
and liver-related death) in patients with cirrhosis.\r\n\r\nMethods: This retrospective
study included 357 cirrhosis patients, who received invasive HVPG measurements,
120 liver-healthy controls (training cohort) and 85 and 100 cirrhosis patients
(internal and external validation cohorts, respectively), and contrast-enhanced
abdominal CTs. After volumetric segmentation of the liver and spleen on CT, Bayesian
parameter optimization was used for selection of extracted features and hyperparameter
tuning in random forest or elastic net models. Prediction accuracy was evaluated
using Pearson correlation coefficients of predicted (’radio-HVPG’) and invasive
HVPG. Discrimination between relevant HVPG cut-offs was determined by receiver
operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. The predictive value of radio-HVPG and
invasive-HVPG for LRE was compared using Cox regression models.\r\n\r\nResults:
Radio-HVPG, predicted by an optimized random forest model based on 74 selected
CT features, correlated with invasive-HVPG and detected clinically significant
portal hypertension (CSPH: HVPG ≥ 10 mmHg) on the internal (Pearson r = 0.63,
AUC 0.89 [95% CI: 0.81–0.96]) and external (Pearson r = 0.62, AUC 0.80 [95% CI:
0.64–0.91]) validation cohorts. Radio-HVPG predicted LRE when adjusting for MELD
and albumin (adjusted HR: 1.14 [95% CI: 1.04–1.25], p = 0.005) and performed similarly
to invasive-HVPG.\r\n\r\nConclusions: Radiomic features accurately predict HVPG
in patients with cirrhosis and allow risk stratification for LRE in a radiomics-clinical
signature."

text: The transport properties of nanofluidic channels are usually studied under
constant (DC) voltage or pressure driving. 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.

text: The long-standing notion that genotypes map to phenotypes through simple one
gene–one trait relationships continues to shape both research in the life sciences
and public understanding, with implications for policy and funding priorities.
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.
acknowledgement: We thank a variety of further colleagues for the many inspiring discussions
on the nature of heredity, especially the workshops in Berlin. Special thanks also
to the Stellenbosch Institute for Advanced Studies (STIAS) to provide DT the leisure
and freedom to write up the first version of this perspective. Thanks also to three
reviewers who have helped to improve the manuscript. Two dedicated symposia on the
topic were funded by the Max-Planck Society.

text: "AM CVn stars are ultra-compact semi-detached binaries consisting of a white
dwarf primary and a hydrogen-depleted secondary. 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. Six of the studied
AMCVns are\r\nX-ray sources, which helped to determine their mass accretion rates.
Photometry shows that the duration of all the superoutbursts detected\r\nin the
AM CVns is consistent with expectations from the disc instability model. Finally,
we provide refined criteria for the identification of\r\nnew systems using all-sky
surveys such as LSST."

text: Little red dots (LRDs) are a newly identified class of broad-line active galactic
nuclei (AGNs) with a distinctive V-shaped spectrum characterized by red optical
and blue UV continuum emission. 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

text: UTe2 exhibits the remarkable phenomenon of re-entrant superconductivity, whereby
the zero-resistance state reappears above 40 tesla after being suppressed with
a field of around 10 tesla. 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.

text: 'We compile a sample of 83 little red dots (LRDs) with JWST imaging and find
that a substantial fraction (∼43%, rising to ≳80% for the most luminous LRDs)
host one or more spatially offset, UV-bright companions at projected separations
of 0.5 kpc ≲ d ≲ 5 kpc, with median 〈d〉 = 1.0 kpc. 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.'

text: Analog quantum simulators provide access to many-body dynamics beyond the
reach of classical computation. 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.

text: 'Despite the success of mRNA therapeutics, challenges remain in optimizing
immune responses and minimizing side effects. Cell-specific antigen delivery may
help reduce required doses and improve vaccine efficacy. In this study, we report
on a targeted delivery system for mRNA to a specific subset of skin-resident antigen-presenting
cells: Langerhans cells. 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. Importantly, our platform’s high compatibility with various lipid
nanoparticle formulations offers a flexible and precise tool for skin-directed
mRNA delivery.'

text: The development of complex tissues relies on the precise assignment of cell
identity. 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.

text: "As neural-network-based models grow both in size and popularity, interest
has grown in making the models smaller and more efficient to train. 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

text: "The availability of powerful open-source large language models (LLMs) opens
exciting use cases, such as using personal data to fine-tune these models to imitate
a user’s unique writing style. 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."

text: As artificial neural networks, and specifically large language models, have
improved rapidly in capabilities and quality, they have increasingly been deployed
in real-world applications, from customer service to Google search, despite the
fact that they frequently make factually incorrect or undesirable statements.
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.

text: Glutamate excitotoxicity is a cell death mechanism triggered by accumulation
of glutamate in the extracellular space. 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.
