  text: High-entropy alloys (HEAs) show great potential for catalyzing complex multi-step
    reactions, but optimizing their parameters, i.e., composition, but also their
    crystallinity and morphology, remains a significant challenge. In this study,
    FeCoNiMoW HEAs are synthesized into either amorphous nanosheets (HEANS) or crystalline
    nanoparticles (HEANP), which are then used to catalyze the lithium–sulfur (Li–S)
    reaction of Li–S batteries (LSBs). Evaluations in symmetric cells, coin cells,
    and pouch cells reveal that HEANS significantly enhance LSB performance, achieving
    initial discharge capacities up to 1632 mAh g−1. The batteries also exhibit excellent
    cycling stability over 1000 cycles at 3Cand maintain high-rate performance up
    to 10C with a capacity of 614 mAh g−1. Comprehensive in situ analyses and density
    functional theory calculations demonstrate that amorphous HEANS provide more active
    sites, better ionic conductivity and stronger chemical interactions with lithium
    polysulfides (LiPS). These properties effectively suppress the shuttle effect,
    promote the complete S8 → Li2S conversion by reducing the impedance of the solid-electrolyte
    interphase, and accelerate the Li2S4 → Li2S2 step by lowering the nucleation energy
    barrier. Overall, this study highlights the superior catalytic properties of amorphous
    2D HEAs in LSBs and offers new insights into the mechanisms of LiPS conversion.

  text: 'Moist convection is a fundamental process occurring in the Earth''s atmosphere.
    It plays a central role in the weather and climate of the Tropics, where, to first
    order, the heating of the atmosphere by convection is in balance with the cooling
    of the atmosphere by the emission of radiation to outer space. In this study,
    we use a cloud-resolving model in radiative–convective equilibrium with an imposed
    constant rate of radiative cooling and study the response of moist convection
    to varying this rate of radiative cooling. In particular, we study two types of
    simulation: varying air temperature (VAT) simulations, where the air temperature
    is allowed to adjust to the imposed radiative cooling, and constant air temperature
    (CAT) simulations, where the surface temperature is tuned to ensure that the atmospheric
    temperature profile in the domain is constant. We recover the previously known
    result that, in response to increasing radiative cooling, the area of convection
    expands rapidly, while the intensity of convection does not change. We find that
    this response is explained by the increased boundary-layer variability in simulations
    with greater radiative cooling, which compensates for the decreasing temperature
    by adding a larger initial velocity close to the cloud base. We also propose a
    fundamental scaling of the non-dimensional cumulus mass flux in moist convection,
    which is robust across models of different complexity. We aim to bridge the gap
    between highly idealised prototypes of moist convection, such as the “Rainy–Bénard
    convection” introduced by Vallis et al., and comprehensive cloud-resolving models.'

  text: Motivated by applications in medical sciences, we study finite chromatic sets
    in Euclidean space from a topological perspective. Based on the persistent homology
    for images, kernels and cokernels, we design provably stable homological quantifiers
    that describe the geometric micro- and macro-structure of how the color classes
    mingle. These can be efficiently computed using chromatic variants of Delaunay
    and alpha complexes, and code that does these computations is provided.

  text: 'Information measures can be constructed from Rényi divergences much like
    mutual information from Kullback-Leibler divergence. One such information measure
    is known as Sibson α-mutual information and has received renewed attention recently
    in several contexts: concentration of measure under dependence, statistical learning,
    hypothesis testing, and estimation theory. In this paper, we survey and extend
    the state of the art. In particular, we introduce variational representations
    for Sibson α-mutual information and employ them in each described context to derive
    novel results. Namely, we produce generalized Transportation-Cost inequalities
    and Fano-type inequalities. We also present an overview of known applications,
    spanning from learning theory and Bayesian risk to universal prediction.'

  text: "In this thesis, we took a look at networks, and more specifically, at networks
    that change over time, whether those are networks in the distributed algorithms
    sense of the word, or the graph algorithm sense. \r\n\r\nIn distributed algorithms,
    we looked at two main problems. First, the broadcast problem: given n agents,
    each agent is tasked to forward a (unique) message to every other agent. Agents
    collaborate and can copy and forward all messages they have received up until
    that point. Broadcast is achieved when one agent has successfully broadcast its
    message to everyone else. We studied the case where the communication network
    is controlled by an adversary, under the condition that the graph is rooted in
    every round of communication. We show that the adversary can delay broadcast for
    at most  l\r\n(1 + √\r\n2)n\r\nm\r\n rounds, improving on the $O(n\\log\\log n)$
    previous upper bound~\\cite{fugger2020radius}, and asymptotically matching the
    $\\sim 1.5n$ lower bound~\\cite{schwarz2017linear}.\r\n\r\nWe then looked at the
    stochastic version of the problem: here, the adversary -- parametrized by $k$
    where $k=0$ signifies that the adversary has no control,  and $k=n$ that the adversary
    has full control -- can choose parts of the graph, and the graph is then completed
    stochastically. Here, we are able to look at a stronger version of broadcast:
    instead of having $n$ messages trying to be broadcast in parallel, we can assume
    that only one message needs to be broadcasted. We show the bound $\\Theta(k+\\log
    n)$.\r\n\r\nThen, we looked at undecided states dynamics in population protocols:
    given a population of $n$ agents, where each initially holds an opinion among
    $k$ different ones. In each round, two agents are chosen uniformly at random,
    and can interact. If they have different opinions, they forget their opinions
    and become undecided. If one of them is undecided while the other has an opinion,
    they undecided agent copies they opinion of the decided one. The question is then,
    how many interactions does it take for the whole population to share the same
    opinion? We show a $\\Omega(kn\\log \\frac {\\sqrt n} {k \\log n})$ lower bound
    \ for any $k = o\\left(\\frac {\\sqrt n}{\\log n}\\right)$.\r\nThis is tight for
    any $ k \\le n^{\\frac 1 2 - \\epsilon}$, where $\\epsilon >0$ can be any small
    constant, matching the known $O(kn\\log n)$ upper bound for $k = O\\left(\\frac
    {\\sqrt n} {\\log ^2 n}\\right)$~\\cite{DBLP:conf/podc/AmirABBHKL23}.\r\n\r\nFinally,
    in dynamic algorithms, we study the minimum cut problem: we are given a graph,
    whose vertex set we want to partition into two subsets such that the number of
    edges crossing from one subset to the other is minimized. Then, the graph can
    be updated via edge insertions or deletions, and we must update the solution without
    recomputing everything from scratch. We present an exact fully-dynamic minimum
    cut algorithm that runs in $n^{o(1)}$ deterministic update time when the minimum
    cut size is at most $2^{\\Theta(\\log^{3/4-c}n)}$ for any $c>0$, improving on
    the previous algorithm~\\cite{DBLP:conf/soda/JinST24} whose minimum cut size limit
    is $(\\log n)^{o(1)}$. Using sparsification and randomization techniques, we are
    able to extend this to all values of the minimum cut in weighted graphs, at the
    cost of a $(1+o(1))$-approximation ratio."

  text: "We present an exact fully-dynamic minimum cut algorithm that runs in \U0001D45B\U0001D45C⁡(1)
    deterministic update time when the minimum cut size is at most 2Θ⁡(log3/4−\U0001D450⁡\U0001D45B)
    for any \U0001D450 >0, improving on the previous algorithm of Jin, Sun, and Thorup
    (SODA 2024) whose minimum cut size limit is (log⁡\U0001D45B)\U0001D45C⁡(1). Combined
    with graph sparsification, we obtain the first (1 +\U0001D716)-approximate fully-dynamic
    minimum cut algorithm on weighted graphs, for any \U0001D716 ≥2−Θ⁡(log3/4−\U0001D450⁡\U0001D45B),
    in \U0001D45B\U0001D45C⁡(1) randomized update time.\r\nOur main technical contribution
    is a deterministic local minimum cut algorithm, which replaces the randomized
    LocalKCut procedure from El-Hayek, Henzinger, and Li (SODA 2025)."

  text: "Computing the diameter of the intersection graphs of objects is a basic problem
    in computational geometry. Previous works showed that the complexity of computing
    the diameter mainly depends on the object types: for unit disks and squares in
    2D, the problem is solvable in truly subquadratic time [Chan et al., 2025], while
    for other objects, including unit segments and equilateral triangles in 2D or
    unit balls and axis-parallel unit cubes in 3D, there is no truly subquadratic
    time algorithm under the Orthogonal Vector (OV) hypothesis [Bringmann et al.,
    2022]. \r\nWe undertake a comprehensive study of computing the diameter of geometric
    intersection graphs for various types of objects. We discover many new irregularities,
    showing that the landscape is extremely nuanced: the source of hardness is a combination
    of the object type, the true diameter value, and how the objects intersect with
    each other. Our highlighted results for the 2D case include:  \r\n1) The diameter
    of non-degenerate, axis-aligned line segments can be computed in truly subquadratic
    time. Previous hardness result [Bringmann et al., 2022] for line segments applies
    only to degenerate instances. On the other hand, for the degenerate case, we show
    that a truly subquadratic time algorithm exists when the true diameter is constant.
    \r\n2) An almost-linear-time algorithm for unit-square graphs of constant diameter.
    Previous algorithms [Duraj et al., 2024; Chan et al., 2025] rely on succinct representation
    assuming bounded VC-dimension; for such a strategy Ω(n^{7/4}) time is an inherent
    barrier. \r\n3) An Õ(n^{4/3})-time algorithm to decide if the diameter of a unit-disk
    graph is at most 2. This improves upon the recent algorithm with running time
    Õ(n^{2-1/9}) [Chan et al., 2025]. \r\n4) Deciding if the diameter of intersection
    graphs of fat triangles or line segments is at most 2 is truly subquadratic-hard
    under fine-grained complexity assumptions. Previous lower bounds [Bringmann et
    al., 2022] only hold when deciding if diameter is at most 3.  Our findings are
    presented in a pair of papers. This paper focuses solely on the 2D case, while
    the companion paper is devoted to higher-dimensional cases."

  text: Linear phase‐contrast scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) techniques
    compatible with high‐throughput 4D‐STEM acquisition are widely used to enhance
    phase contrast in weakly scattering and beam‐sensitive materials. In these modalities,
    contrast transfer is often suppressed at low spatial frequencies, resulting in
    a characteristic contrast gap that limits contrast. Approaches that retain low‐frequency
    phase contrast exist but typically require substantially increased experimental
    complexity, restricting routine use. Dark‐field STEM imaging captures this missing
    low‐frequency information through electrons scattered outside the bright‐field
    disk, but discards a large fraction of the scattered signal and is therefore dose‐inefficient.
    Fused Full‐field STEM (FF‐STEM) is introduced as a 4D‐STEM imaging modality that
    overcomes these limitations by combining ptychographic phase reconstruction with
    tilt‐corrected dark‐field imaging within a single acquisition. Bright‐field data
    are used to estimate probe aberrations and reconstruct a high‐resolution phase
    image, while dark‐field data provide complementary low‐frequency contrast. The
    two channels are fused in Fourier space using Wiener‐band weighting based on the
    spectral signal‐to‐noise ratio, yielding transfer‐gap‐free images with high contrast.
    FF‐STEM preserves the upsampling and depth‐sectioning capabilities of ptychography,
    adds robust low‐frequency contrast characteristic of dark‐field imaging, and enables
    dose‐efficient, near–real‐time reconstruction.

  text: Traits that affect organismal fitness are often highly genetically variable.
    This genetic variation is vital for populations to adapt to their environments,
    but it is also surprising given that nature – after all – ‘selects’ the best genotypes
    at the expense of those that fall short. Explaining the extensive genetic variation
    of fitness‐related traits is thus a longstanding puzzle in evolutionary biology,
    with cascading implications for ecology, conservation, and human health. Balancing
    selection – an umbrella term for scenarios in which natural selection maintains
    genetic variation – is a century‐old explanation to resolve this puzzle that has
    gained recent momentum from genome‐scale methods for detecting it. Yet evaluating
    whether balancing selection can, in fact, resolve the puzzle is challenging, given
    the logistical constraints of distinguishing balancing selection from alternative
    hypotheses and the daunting collection of theoretical models that formally underpin
    this debate. Here, we track the development of balancing selection theory over
    the last century and provide an accessible review of this rich collection of models.
    We first outline the range of biological scenarios that can generate balancing
    selection. We then examine how fundamental features of genetic systems – non‐random
    mating between individuals, ploidy levels, genetic drift, linkage, and genetic
    architectures of traits – have been progressively incorporated into the theory.
    We end by linking these theoretical predictions to ongoing empirical efforts to
    understand the evolutionary processes that explain genetic variation.

  text: 'β-Barrel nanopores are involved in crucial biological processes, from ATP
    export in mitochondria to bacterial resistance, and represent a promising platform
    for emerging sequencing technologies. However, in contrast to ion channels, the
    understanding of the fundamental principles governing ion transport through these
    nanopores remains largely unexplored. Here we integrate experimental, numerical
    and theoretical approaches to elucidate ion transport mechanisms in β-barrel nanopores.
    We identify and characterize two distinct nonlinear phenomena: open-pore rectification
    and gating. Through extensive mutation analysis of aerolysin nanopores, we demonstrate
    that open-pore rectification is caused by ionic accumulation driven by the distribution
    of lumen charges. In addition, we provide converging evidence suggesting that
    gating is controlled by electric fields dissociating counterions from lumen charges,
    promoting local structural deformations. Our findings establish a rigorous framework
    for characterizing and understanding ion transport processes in protein-based
    nanopores, enabling the design of adaptable nanofluidic biotechnologies. We illustrate
    this by optimizing an aerolysin mutant for computing applications.'

  text: We characterize all semigroups sandwiched between the semigroup of a Dirichlet
    form and the semigroup of its active main part. In case the Dirichlet form is
    regular, we give a more explicit description of the quadratic forms of the sandwiched
    semigroups in terms of pairs consisting of an open set and a measure on an abstract
    boundary.

  text: 'The Upper Bound Theorem for convex polytopes implies that the p-th Betti
    number of the Čech complex of any set of N points in ℝ^d and any radius satisfies
    β_p = O(N^m), with m = min{p+1, ⌈d/2⌉}. We construct sets in even and odd dimensions,
    which prove that this upper bound is asymptotically tight. For example, we describe
    a set of N = 2(n+1) points in ℝ³ and two radii such that the first Betti number
    of the Čech complex at one radius is (n+1)² - 1, and the second Betti number of
    the Čech complex at the other radius is n². '

  text: The versatile and pivotal roles of the phytohormone auxin in regulating plant
    growth and development are typically linked to its directional transport, relying
    on the polarized PIN-FORMED (PIN) auxin exporters at the plasma membrane (PM).
    For decades, auxin has been proposed to promote PIN polarization, generating self-regulatory
    feedback mediating much of plant development, but mechanistic insight into this
    regulation is lacking. Here, we uncover an auxin-induced protein complex at the
    PM, containing auxin co-receptors transmembrane kinases (TMKs) and PIN1 auxin
    exporter, as the core machinery that underlies this feedback regulation. Auxin
    promotes PIN1 phosphorylation by TMKs, modulating PIN1 polarization and transport
    activity. We also provide evidence that PIN1-exported extracellular auxin is crucial
    for TMK activation and cell elongation, thus forming the simplest two-element
    self-regulatory feedback circuit. Thus, these findings offer direct mechanistic
    insights into a potential self-organizing circuit for auxin signaling and transport
    to ensure proper plant development in Arabidopsis.

  text: In all domains of life, tRNAs mediate the transfer of genetic information
    from mRNAs to proteins. As their depletion suppresses translation and, consequently,
    viral replication, tRNAs represent long-standing and increasingly recognized targets
    of innate immunity1,2,3,4,5. Here we report Cas12a3 effector nucleases from type V
    CRISPR–Cas adaptive immune systems in bacteria that preferentially cleave tRNAs
    after recognition of target RNA. Cas12a3 orthologues belong to one of two previously
    unreported nuclease clades that exhibit RNA-mediated cleavage of non-target RNA,
    and are distinct from all other known type V systems. Through cell-based and biochemical
    assays and direct RNA sequencing, we demonstrate that recognition of a complementary
    target RNA by the CRISPR RNA triggers Cas12a3 to cleave the conserved 5′-CCA-3′
    tail of diverse tRNAs to drive growth arrest and anti-phage defence. Cryogenic
    electron microscopy structures further revealed a distinct tRNA-loading domain
    that positions the tRNA tail in the RuvC active site of the nuclease. By designing
    synthetic reporters that mimic the tRNA acceptor stem and tail, we expanded the
    capacity of current CRISPR-based diagnostics for multiplexed RNA detection. Overall,
    these findings reveal widespread tRNA inactivation as a previously unrecognized
    CRISPR-based immune strategy that broadens the application space of the existing
    CRISPR toolbox.

  text: This study investigates the mechanisms driving clustered convection and the
    breakdown of the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) over the Western Pacific
    Warm Pool using high‐resolution cloud‐resolving simulations and machine‐learning
    sensitivity experiments. Results show that ITCZ breakdown episodes, marked by
    spatially homogeneous convection and weakened meridional moisture gradients, are
    triggered primarily by anomalous moisture advection linked to the equatorial Rossby‐wave
    activity. While large‐scale moisture advection regulates the background convective
    state strongly, it is the surface and low‐level meridional winds that dominate
    transitions between clustered and random convection. Simulations demonstrate that
    moisture alone can sustain convective clustering, but breakdown episodes are more
    persistent and widespread when coupled with southerly meridional advection. These
    findings confirm that wave‐driven advection acts as a regulatory mechanism, periodically
    disrupting convective clustering and reshaping the meridional moisture gradient.
    This modulation of organization by wave‐induced breakdown events is critical for
    understanding tropical convection variability and its implications for the climate
    system.

  text: During complex vocal interactions, different features of acoustic stimuli
    are integrated to produce appropriate vocal responses,1 such as copying sounds
    during vocal matching behavior in some animals.2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 However,
    little is known about the interplay and possible trade-offs between the different
    temporal and spectral acoustic features during these vocal exchanges.2,13,14 Nightingales
    can flexibly match the pitch of their tonal “whistle songs” in real time during
    counter-singing duels.15,16 Here, we show that the syllable duration of whistle
    playbacks could alter the song responses of wild nightingales, causing their whistle
    duration distribution to shift toward the presented stimulus duration. When exposed
    to whistle playbacks featuring unnatural combinations of pitch and duration, nightingales
    demonstrate a flexible trade-off between pitch matching and temporal imitation,
    yet they are constrained by their vocal repertoire. They selectively adapted their
    vocal responses to approximate these novel stimuli, aligning them with their natural
    whistle repertoire. We developed a computational model of nightingale whistle-matching
    behavior that revealed a hierarchical organization of acoustic feature production.
    During whistle matching, the feature integration process is constrained by the
    duration of syllables, and pitch matching follows within this temporal framework,
    forcing a trade-off between the two features. Our findings reveal a complex interplay
    between the spectral and temporal domains that shapes song-matching behavior.

  text: The oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a critical bottleneck in fuel
    cells and metal-air batteries due to the lack of highly efficient electrocatalysts.
    Here, we report a simple strategy for synthesizing a palladium-based heterostructured
    electrocatalyst supported on a carbon nitride matrix (PdH-Pd@CN), which exhibits
    remarkable ORR activity with a half-wave potential of 0.91 V and excellent durability
    in 0.1 M KOH. Within the heterostructure, hydrogen intercalation expands the Pd
    lattice, while interstitial hydrogen doping facilitates charge transfer from Pd
    to H owing to their electronegativity difference. These synergistic effects modulate
    the electronic structure, thereby enhancing both activity and stability. When
    employed in Zn-air batteries, PdH-Pd@CN delivers a maximum power density of 176
    mW cm− (Liu et al., 2025) and capacity of 805 mAh g− (Sun et al., 2021) Zn. These
    findings demonstrate the strong potential of PdH-Pd@CN as an efficient ORR electrocatalyst
    for next-generation metal-air batteries and related energy technologies.

  text: Modern experimental methods in programmable self-assembly make it possible
    to precisely design particle concentrations, shapes and interactions. However,
    more physical insight is needed before we can take full advantage of this vast
    design space to assemble nanostructures with complex form and function. Here we
    show how a substantial part of this design space can be quickly and comprehensively
    understood by identifying a class of thermodynamic constraints that act on it.
    These thermodynamic constraints form a high-dimensional convex polyhedron that
    determines which nanostructures can be assembled at high equilibrium yield and
    reveals limitations that govern the coexistence of structures. We validate our
    predictions through detailed, quantitative assembly experiments of nanoscale particles
    synthesized using DNA origami. Our results uncover physical relationships underpinning
    many-component programmable self-assembly in equilibrium and form the basis for
    robust inverse design, applicable to various systems from biological protein complexes
    to synthetic nanomachines.
