text: Contact electrification occurs ubiquitously in nature, but the identity of
charge carriers in most situations remains uncertain, with electrons, ions, or
nanoscopic material fragments as viable candidates. One material where the species
transferred seems more certain is ionomers, i.e., polymers that contain mobile
ions balanced by fixed counter‐charges. When ionomers touch a neutral surface,
the latter becomes charged in the sign of the mobile ion, strongly suggesting
ion transfer. However, the mechanism and governing factors of transfer remain
poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that binding affinity between mobile ion
and ionomer controls charge transfer with ionomers. We use ionomers with fixed
anions and cations and perform ion exchange to create samples with a series of
transferrable ions. We observe a strong binding‐affinity dependence for the anionic
ionomer, such that mobile cations with the highest affinity transfers the least
charge. Weaker, yet clear dependence was measured for the cationic ionomer, which
follows the hydration free energy of the mobile anion. Using inductively coupled
plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP‐OES), we confirm transfer of the mobile
ions to the counter sample's surface. Our results confirm the identify and mechanism
of charge transfer with ionomeric materials, with potential implications for contact
electrification more broadly.

text: "This thesis documents a voyage towards truth and beauty via formal verification
of theorems. To this end, we develop libraries in Lean 4 that present definitions
and results from diverse areas of MathematiCS (i.e., Mathematics and Computer
Science). The aim is to create code that is understandable, believable, useful,
and elegant. The code should stand for itself as much as possible without a need
for documentation; however, this text redundantly documents our code artifacts
and provides additional context that isn’t present in the code. This thesis is
written for readers who know Lean 4 but are not familiar with any of the topics
presented. We manifest truth and beauty in three formalized areas of MathematiCS.\r\n\r\nWe
formalize general grammars in Lean 4 and use grammars to show closure of the class
of type-0 languages under four operations; union, reversal, concatenation, and
the Kleene star.\r\n\r\nOur second stop is the theory of optimization. Farkas
established that a system of linear inequalities has a solution if and only if
we cannot obtain a contradiction by taking a linear combination of the inequalities.
We state and formally prove several Farkas-like theorems over linearly ordered
fields in Lean 4. Furthermore, we extend duality theory to the case when some
coefficients are allowed to take “infinite values”. Additionally, we develop the
basics of the theory of optimization in terms of the framework called General-Valued
Constraint Satisfaction Problems, and we prove that, if a Rational-Valued Constraint
Satisfaction Problem template has symmetric fractional polymorphisms of all arities,
then its basic LP relaxation is tight.\r\n\r\nOur third stop is matroid theory.
Seymour’s decomposition theorem is a hallmark result in matroid theory, presenting
a structural characterization of the class of regular matroids. We aim to formally
verify Seymour’s theorem in Lean 4. First, we build a library for working with
totally unimodular matrices. We define binary matroids and their standard representations,
and we prove that they form a matroid in the sense how Mathlib defines matroids.
We define regular matroids to be matroids for which there exists a full representation
rational matrix that is totally unimodular, and we prove that all regular matroids
are binary. We define 1-sum, 2-sum, and 3 sum of binary matroids as specific ways
to compose their standard representation matrices. We prove that the 1-sum, the
2-sum, and the 3-sum of regular matroids are a regular matroid, which concludes
the composition direction of the Seymour’s theorem. The (more difficult) decomposition
direction remains unproved.\r\n\r\nIn the pursuit of truth, we focus on identifying
the trusted code in each project and presenting it faithfully. We emphasize the
readability and believability of definitions rather than choosing definitions
that are easier to work with. In search for beauty, we focus on the philosophical
framework of Roger Scruton, who emphasizes that beauty is not a mere decoration
but, most importantly, beauty is the means for shaping our place in the world
and a source of redemption, where it can be viewed as a substitute for religion."

text: "An eight-partition of a finite set of points (respectively, of a continuous
mass distribution) in R^3\r\n consists of three planes that divide the space into
8 octants, such that each open octant contains at most 1/8 of the points (respectively,
of the mass). In 1966, Hadwiger showed that any mass distribution in R^3 admits
an eight-partition; moreover, one can prescribe the normal direction of one of
the three planes. The analogous result for finite point sets follows by a standard
limit argument. We prove the following variant of this result: any mass distribution
(or point set) in R^3 admits an eight-partition for which the intersection of
two of the planes is a line with a prescribed direction. Moreover, we present
an efficient algorithm for calculating an eight-partition of a set of n points
in R^3 (with prescribed normal direction of one of the planes) in time O(n^7/3).

text: Solitons—localized wave packets that travel without spreading—play a central
role in understanding transport and properties of nonlinear systems. In quantum
many-body systems, however, such robust excitations are typically destroyed by
thermalization. Here, we theoretically demonstrate the existence of solitonic
excitations in high-energy states of Rydberg atom chains in the regime of strong
nearest-neighbor Rydberg blockade. These localized wave packets propagate directionally
atop a special class of reviving initial states related to quantum many-body scars
and are capable of carrying energy. Exhibiting long coherence times, these states
constitute a form of non-ergodic quantum dynamics and can be efficiently implemented
on Rydberg atom simulators. In this work, in addition to a phenomenological description
of solitons, we identify their counterpart in a classical nonlinear dynamical
system, demonstrate their potential use in quantum information transfer, and conjecture
their relevance for anomalous energy transport reported in numerical studies of
Rydberg atom arrays.

text: "Evolutionary biology examines how the genetic and phenotypic composition\r\nof
populations changes over time. An important goal is to determine the\r\nfixation
probability of a single advantageous mutant that arises in a homogeneous\r\npopulation
of N residents. Many real populations experience environmental\r\ngradients that
cause mutations to be beneficial in some spatial\r\nregions but harmful in others.
Here, we study the fixation probability of a\r\nmutant placed on a simple one-dimensional
spatial structure that experiences\r\nsuch a gradient. The mutant’s fitness varies
linearly from1 − s to 1 + s, whereas\r\nthe resident fitness is constant and equal
to 1. The existing literature suggests\r\nthat such heterogeneity in the mutant’s
fitness should lead to a decrease in its\r\nfixation probability. However, in
this work, we find that small, non-negligible\r\ngradients (s < 1=√N) substantially
increase the fixation probability,while larger\r\ngradients (s > (log N)/√N) substantially
decrease it.Moreover, we quantify the\r\nstrength of this phenomenon analytically
and we precisely delimit the range of\r\nthe gradients for which it occurs. Our
computer simulations closely match\r\nthose findings. Altogether, our results
indicate that subjecting a simple\r\npopulation structure to natural environmental
conditions can produce strong\r\ncounterintuitive effects."

text: "Gaining an understanding of how biological regulation evolves is a fundamental
research \r\nquestion in both evolutionary biology and molecular genetics. In
order to gain more insight \r\ninto this topic, we focus on studying the simple
gene regulatory system of the lac operon in \r\nE. coli. We show that simple population
genetic models can shed light on evolution \r\nexperiments and that this combined
approach of modelling the experimental system gives \r\ninsight to better understand
the causes of evolutionary change in the experiment. We also \r\nstudy the natural
diversity in the lac operon from 308 publicly available E. coli genomes that \r\ncome
from various host species and different regions of the world. Evidence that selection
is \r\ngenerally maintaining the function of the lac operon across the sample
regardless of host \r\nspecies is provided and we show that different protein
coding genes in the operon are under \r\ndifferent selective constraints on protein
sequence preservation. A similar frameshift \r\nmutation found in experimental
evolution studies is shown to be present in the sample we \r\nanalyzed, indicating
that selectively relevant variants in evolution experiments are also \r\npresent
in natural populations. We show that there is no simple phylogenetic relationship
\r\nbetween host species, geographical location and the lac operon sequence. Finally,
we argue \r\nthat a combined approach of comparative genomics, experimental evolution
and theoretical \r\nmodelling contributes to a more complete understanding of
molecular evolution. "

text: "Consider a 4-player version of Matching Pennies where a team of three players
competes against the Devil. Each player simultaneously says \"Heads\" or \"Tails\".
The team wins if all four choices match; otherwise the Devil wins. If all team
players randomise independently, they win with probability 1/8; if all players
share a common source of randomness, they win with probability 1/2. What happens
when each pair of team players shares a source of randomness? Can the team do
better than win with probability 1/4? The surprising (and nontrivial) answer is
yes!\r\nWe introduce Dicey Games, a formal framework motivated by the study of
distributed systems with shared sources of randomness (of which the above example
is a specific instance). We characterise the existence, representation and computational
complexity of optimal strategies in Dicey Games, and we study the problem of allocating
limited sources of randomness optimally within a team."

text: "This study presents a sustainable and non-destructive recycling strategy
for synthetic fibres, specifically polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyamide
6 (PA6), polyamide 66 (PA66), and elastane (EL). Two deep eutectic solvents (DESs)
were synthesised, enabling selective dissolution of EL without degrading the surrounding
polymer matrices. The dissolved EL phase was subsequently recovered by centrifugation,
demonstrating its potential for material reuse. Comprehensive characterisation
confirmed that the process preserves fibre integrity. SEM imaging revealed no
detectable changes in fibre morphology, while DSC and TGA analyses indicated that
the thermal properties of both EL and synthetic polymers were preserved. ATR-FTIR
spectroscopy verified the absence of measurable chemical modifications. Mechanical
testing showed that solvent treatment did not compromise the tensile performance
of PET, PA6, or PA66 fibres, confirming their suitability for fibre-to-fibre recycling.\r\nThe
recovered fibres were successfully re-extruded into continuous filaments, confirming
their melt processability and enabling potential applications in textile yarns,
technical fibres, nonwovens, and polymer components via melt-spinning or moulding.
These results demonstrate that the proposed DES-based method offers a promising
approach for the circular recycling of complex fibre blends and provides a viable
pathway towards industrial implementation."

text: 'A phase plate has long been sought in transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
to maximize the image contrast of weakly-scattering objects like biomolecules.
The laser phase plate (LPP) has recently demonstrated that an amplified, focused
laser standing wave reliably phase shifts the electron beam, achieving phase-contrast
TEM. Building on the single-beam LPP, here we introduce the crossed laser phase
plate (XLPP): two laser standing waves which intersect in the diffraction plane.
We present a theoretical model for the XLPP inside the microscope and show that,
relative to the original LPP, it increases information transfer at low spatial
frequencies while suppressing ghost images formed by Kapitza-Dirac diffraction.
We also present a simple acquisition scheme, enabled by the XLPP, which further
suppresses ghosts. Finally, we discuss practical considerations of XLPP design
and show experimental results from a prototype. The results of this study chart
the course for future developments of LPP hardware.'

text: "It is known that for a uniform morphic sequence \U0001D496 =⟨\U0001D462\U0001D45B⟩∞\r\n\U0001D45B=0
and an algebraic number \U0001D6FD such that |\U0001D6FD| >1, the number [[\U0001D496]]\U0001D6FD
:=∑∞\r\n\U0001D45B=0(\U0001D462\U0001D45B/\U0001D6FD\U0001D45B) either lies in
ℚ(\U0001D6FD) or is transcendental. In this paper, we show a similar rational–transcendental
dichotomy for sequences defined by irreducible Pisot morphisms on binary alphabets.
Subject to the Pisot conjecture (an irreducible Pisot morphism has pure discrete
spectrum), we generalise the latter result to arbitrary finite alphabets. In certain
cases, we are able to show transcendence of [[\U0001D496]]\U0001D6FD outright.
In particular, for \U0001D458 ≥2, if \U0001D496 is the k-Bonacci word, then [[\U0001D496]]\U0001D6FD
is transcendental."

text: "Background and Objectives: \r\nAnti-immunoglobulin-like cell adhesion molecule
5 (IgLON5) disease is a novel and poten-\r\ntially treatable entity. Therefore,
it is important to recognize all clinical symptoms and di-\r\nagnostic clues.
We specifically investigated neuromuscular signs and symptoms and muscle biopsy
pathology, providing a link between IgLON5 and clinical features of myopathy.\r\nMethods:
\r\nAll patients diagnosed with anti-IgLON5 disease in the Netherlands between
2016 and 2023 were included. Serum and CSF samples were tested with immunohistochemistry
on rat brain and in-house cell-based assay using live cells. Biopsies of the vastus
lateralis muscle were performed in patients with neuromuscular signs and symptoms
and analyzed in Vienna to-\r\ngether with 3 biopsies of non-Dutch patients sent
to Vienna for second opinion.\r\nResults: \r\nTwenty patients with anti-IgLON5
disease were included (10 male, 50%). The median age at onset was 61.5 years (range
45–85), and the median time from onset to diagnosis was 30 months (range 3–280).
Neuromuscular symptoms were present in over half of the patients (11/20), including
proximal limb weakness (n = 11), axial weakness (n = 1), muscle atrophy (n = 6),
and fasciculations (n = 5). All 12 muscle biopsies (9 from the Dutch cohort, 3
external) showed mild myopathic alterations, 2 additionally presented target fibers
and fiber type grouping (compatible with neu-\r\nrogenic myopathy), and 3 patients
showed immune cell infiltration. We found a strong upregulation of IgLON5 expression
in muscle fibers in all patients and also in different muscle disease controls,
while immunoreactivity in healthy control muscle was faint/absent.\r\nDiscussion:
\r\nOur data support that IgLON5 might play a role in muscle regeneration, which
might result in proximal myopathy as a prominent clinical feature in anti-IgLON5
disease. This finding broadens the clinical phenotype of anti-IgLON5 disease and
can be an important clue for earlier diagnosis and start of immunotherapy."

text: We present very deep (≈11 hours on-source) JWST/MIRI low-resolution spectroscopy
of the rest-frame optical emission of U37126, a UV-bright (MUV ≃ −20) mildly lensed
(μ ≃ 2.2) galaxy at z = 10.255. The continuum emission is well detected in the
NIRSpec and MIRI spectra, but no nebular recombination or metal emission lines
are observed (EW0 (Hβ+[O III]) ≤ 300 Å and EW0 (Hα) ≤ 400 Å at 3σ). Combined with
the exceptionally blue UV continuum slope, βUV ≃ −2.9, and flat Balmer break,
these constraints indicate a stellar population dominated by very young and massive
stars with a strongly suppressed nebular contribution. Comparisons with synthetic
stellar population models indicate that U37126 requires a very high ionizing photon
production efficiency, log(ξion/Hz erg−1) ≃ 25.75, and a nearly unity Lyman continuum
escape fraction, of fesc ≥ 86% (3σ) based on the Hα flux limit and fesc = 0.94 ± 0.06
derived independently from fitting the spectral energy distribution (SED). The
best-fit SED yields a (delensed) stellar mass of M★ ≃ 107.8 M⊙ and a star formation
rate SFR ≃ 10 M⊙ yr−1 (specific SFR ∼ 160 Gyr−1). Together with its very compact
size, reff ≃ 61 pc, this yields a very high stellar mass and SFR surface densities,
ΣM★ ≃ 3 × 103 M⊙ pc−2 and ΣSFR ≃ 400 M⊙ yr−1 kpc−2. Together with the lack of
detectable nebular emission, these properties suggest that U37126 is undergoing
a so-called interstellar medium-naked starburst phase, possibly driven by an extremely
efficient gas-to-star conversion followed by strong feedback that has cleared
the remaining gas from its stellar core, which allowed most Lyman continuum photons
to escape. Finally, we show that even a small fraction of galaxies such as U37126
(≃3–6%), with an extreme Lyman continuum production and escape, might contribute
disproportionately (≃50–100%) to the ionizing photon budget during cosmic reionization.

text: Accretion disks in active galactic nuclei (AGN) are promising sites for mergers
of stellar-mass black holes (BHs) detectable via gravitational waves (GWs). These
environments facilitate both in situ formation and dynamical capture of compact
objects and their subsequent mergers. The uncertain origin of GW events detected
by LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA motivates searching for accompanying electromagnetic
(EM) signatures. Here, we investigate postmerger EM flares associated with jets
launched from merger remnants, as well as from the shocked ambient gas as the
jet breaks out of the disk. We find that jet breakout produces luminous gamma-ray
emission, detectable with MeV-band telescopes. Cooling emission from a shocked
circum-BH minidisk, winds, and background AGN disk peaks in the UV and optical,
with durations ranging from about an hour to a month, and can be identified through
year-long monitoring of ∼103 AGNs with luminosities ranging from ∼1044 to ∼1045
erg s−1. With a single set of parameters, this postmerger jet model produces gamma-ray,
hard X-ray, and optical flares similar to those claimed to be associated with
GW events. Furthermore, by incorporating a transition from a high- to low-angular-momentum
accretion state after the merger, the model avoids excessive BH growth, alleviating
tensions with hyper-Eddington accretion scenarios.

text: Development depends on precise shaping of molecular gradients, but how natural
selection acts to establish precision is unknown. Here, we analyze genes that
control differences in the gradient of yellow flower color between two varieties
of snapdragon (Antirrhinum). We show that these differences depend, in part, on
cis-regulatory variation in the pigment biosynthetic gene, FLAVIA (FLA). FLA interacts
multiplicatively with three other loci, one of which is a trans-acting regulator
of FLA, to further shape the yellow gradient. All the loci exhibit clines at a
hybrid zone, with widths that correlate with phenotypic effect, showing how selection
can hone gradient shape with remarkable precision by acting on cis and trans variation
at multiple loci.

text: Planar germanium is currently the only semiconducting platform where high-coherence
spin qubits and proximity-induced superconductivity have each been demonstrated.
Recent research into spin qubits in Ge/SiGe heterostructures has focused on increasing
the thickness of the SiGe capping layer, reporting improvements in the electrostatic
noise levels. Meanwhile, heterostructures with thinner capping layers remain rather
unexplored, despite the potential advantages for proximity-induced superconductivity.
Here, we study a Ge/SiGe heterostructure with a thin SiGe cap d - 4nm and investigate
its viability to host low-noise quantum dots. To keep the thermal budget compatible
with superconducting layers, low-temperature oxide deposition processes were developed
and implemented for the gate dielectrics. The charge noise level of the fabricated
devices is estimated to be 1.8 +- 1.0 μeV/ square HZ, comparable to devices
fabricated on shallow heterostructures ( d - 20nm) with high-temperature deposited
oxides. Low charge noise levels, together with the straightforward integration
of superconductors, make this heterostructure an attractive platform for prototyping
hybrid semiconducting–superconducting devices.

text: Transpiration (T) connects water, energy, and carbon cycles within ecosystems.
While T has often been reported to increase with soil warming, underlying reasons
remain poorly understood. Here, using a mechanistic ecohydrological model, T&C‐BG,
we simulated T responses to soil warming at 30 sites spanning various biomes and
climates. Consistent with observations, the numerical model reproduces negative,
insignificant, and predominantly positive T responses under soil warming. Numerical
results show that soil warming generally increases T for sites with a small Bowen
ratio. The main mechanisms leading to positive T responses to soil warming are
complex changes in energy partitioning with modifications of canopy surface temperature
and aerodynamic, stomatal, and leaf boundary layer conductance. However, soil
warming can also affect phenology, which might result in either increased or decreased
T. Our findings shed light on how T changes with warmer soil and help interpret
outcomes of warming experiments.

text: "Background:\r\nThe spatial distribution of tree canopies influences ecological
functions and residents’ exposure to green spaces. Although several studies have
examined green space configuration at neighborhood scales, evidence on tree canopy
configuration at the municipal scale, an operational unit for urban planning,
remains limited.\r\nMethods:\r\nWe conducted a nationwide ecological study of
2,136 Swiss municipalities. Tree canopy coverage (PLAND), aggregation (AI, reflecting
how tightly green patches are grouped together), patch density (PD, a measure
of fragmentation), and area-weighted mean shape index (SHAPE_AM, a measure of
shape complexity) were derived from 1-m canopy maps within municipality-specific
populated areas. Natural-cause, cardiovascular, and cancer mortality (2017–2019)
were obtained from the Swiss National Cohort. Fully adjusted negative binomial
regression models estimated associations between canopy metric and mortality for
each IQR increase in the metrics.\r\nResults:\r\nHolding configuration constant,
each IQR increase in canopy coverage (∼18%) was associated with a 3.6% [B: −0.036;
95% CI: −0.078 – 0.005] reduction in cardiovascular mortality. Higher aggregation
corresponded to a 4.3% [B: 0.043; 95% CI: 0.026–0.061], an 8.9% [B: 0.089; 95%
CI: 0.059–0.119], and a 2.1% [B: 0.021; 95% CI: 0–0.042] higher number of natural-cause,
cardiovascular, and cancer deaths respectively. Higher fragmentation was associated
with a 3.3% [B: 0.033; 95% CI: 0.016–0.050], a 4.9% [B: 0.049; 95% CI: 0.020–0.078],
and a 2.2% [B: 0.022; 95% CI: 0.001–0.043] increase in these causes respectively.
No meaningful associations were observed between shape complexity and any mortality
outcomes. Associations for aggregation and fragmentation were generally stronger
in highly urbanized municipalities.\r\nConclusions:\r\nAt the municipal scale,
mortality was lower where tree canopy was distributed across several moderately
sized, spatially balanced patches rather than highly aggregated or highly fragmented
structures. These findings suggest that urban greening strategies should optimize
its spatial configuration to maximize health benefits."

text: Nanocrystal superlattices are commonly formed by changing concentration, solvent
conditions, or particle surface chemistry. Although effective, these approaches
alter multiple contributions to the interparticle potential simultaneously, making
it difficult to isolate the interactions responsible for ordering or to control
assembly in chemically complex environments. Here, we show that oligomeric species
present in a nanocrystal reaction medium drive superlattice formation through
a depletion mechanism. Using PbTe nanocrystals as a model system, we identify
Pb–oleate oligomers in the crude reaction mixture, characterize their solution
structure, and quantify their contribution to the interparticle potential, establishing
depletion as the dominant short-range interaction governing spontaneous body-centered
cubic superlattice formation. We then confirm the depletion origin of ordering
by showing that varying depletant concentration predictably shifts the order–disorder
boundary and produces a thermally reversible transition between dispersed and
ordered states ─ behavior that is inconsistent with van der Waals or ligand-mediated
mechanisms but is a direct consequence of depletion control. Having established
and validated the mechanism, we demonstrate that the same depletion framework
can be deliberately activated in purified dispersions and transferred across nanocrystal
systems of different composition and shape, including anisotropic and binary assemblies.
These results establish precursor-derived depletion as a general and chemically
grounded mechanism for nanocrystal superlattice formation, and show that collective
ordering can be programmed through the surrounding medium rather than through
particle surface modification.
