text: Lattice strain engineering can regulate the electronic structure of electrocatalysts,
but stabilizing distorted metastable phases remains challenging. Here, we report
an N,N-dimethylformamide-assisted strategy for synthesizing metastable hexagonal
close-packed (HCP) Ni nanoparticles with local lattice-spacing deviations reaching
approximately 5.2%. Structural and spectroscopic analyses support a dilute interstitial-carbon-stabilized
HCP Ni framework dominated by expanded metallic Ni─Ni coordination rather than
ordered Ni3C. Carbon-associated perturbations inhibit structural relaxation and
retain the distorted HCP framework. Operando x-ray absorption and infrared spectroscopies
indicate the formation of a NiOOH-like working surface coupled to an HCP-derived
subsurface framework, accompanied by potential-dependent changes in the interfacial
hydrogen-bonding environment and urea-derived species. Calculations using idealized
metallic models show that HCP lattice strain induces a Ni d-band upshift, anisotropic
Ni─Ni bonding, and localized charge redistribution, modifying adsorption-energy
trends for the urea oxidation reaction. The optimized HCP-Ni delivers an apparent
steady-state Tafel slope of 26.95 mV dec−1, over twice the electrochemically active
surface area-normalized activity of the face-centered cubic-containing controls,
and approximately 98% apparent urea conversion after 22 h. It sustains current
for over 120 h in three-electrode testing and enables over 400 h of urea-assisted
zinc–air battery cycling. This work demonstrates dilute interstitial-carbon stabilization
as a route to strained metastable electrocatalysts.

text: "Kinetic constraints are generally expected to slow down dynamics in many-body
systems, obstructing or even\r\ncompletely suppressing transport of conserved
charges. Here, we show how gauge theories can defy this wisdom\r\nby yielding
constrained models with faster-than-diffusive dynamics. We first show how, upon
integrating out\r\nthe gauge fields, one-dimensional U(1) lattice gauge theories
are exactly mapped onto XX models with nonlocal\r\nconstraints. This class of
kinetically constrained models interpolates between free theories and highly constrained\r\nlocal
fermionic models. We find that energy transport is superdiffusive over a broad
parameter regime. Even\r\nmore drastically, spin transport exhibits ballistic
behavior, albeit with anomalous finite-volume properties as a\r\nconsequence of
gauge invariance. Our findings are relevant to current efforts in quantum simulations
of gauge theory dynamics and anomalous hydrodynamics in closed quantum many-body
systems."

text: "Alternative splicing represents a major source of potential evolutionary
novelty in protein sequence. Despite this, relatively few studies have investigated
the functional impacts of human-specific alternative splicing. Here, we analyze
RNA-sequencing data from nine iPSC-derived cell types and identify dozens of human
transcriptomic conserved deletions (htCONDELs): evolutionary divergence in splicing
that leads to the partial or full removal of conserved protein-coding sequence
from the human transcriptome. We investigated one example in detail: an htCONDEL
in the gene\r\nHMMR\r\n , which encodes a centrosomal protein
that binds microtubules and regulates mitosis. We found that this htCONDEL, which
produces a human-specific isoform lacking a conserved microtubule-binding domain,
enables cells to flexibly divide with a broader range of mitotic spindle orientations\r\n
\ in vitro\r\n . Introducing the human\r\n HMMR\r\n
\ isoform into mice similarly alters the orientation of cell division
in the developing neocortex and increases the production of outer radial glia-like
cells, the expansion of which played an essential role in increasing human brain
size. Combined with previous work implicating the same\r\n HMMR\r\n
\ isoform in carcinoma progression, our results suggest that evolution
of\r\nHMMR\r\n splicing in humans increased plasticity in cell
division, potentially leading to tradeoffs between advantageous effects on brain
development and deleterious effects on cancer risk later in life."

text: The peripheral neural pathways that relay oral and post-ingestive chemo- and
mechanosensory signals to the brain during food consumption are increasingly well
understood. Far less is known about how these and other body signals are integrated
and organized in the brainstem lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBN), a key interoceptive
sensory hub. We established methods for dense calcium imaging of 100s of neurons
from mouse LPBN. Food consumption drove a seconds-long wave of activity across
LPBN, with dynamics mirroring the movement of food through the upper gastrointestinal
tract as observed using X-ray videofluoroscopy. By imaging the same neurons across
days, we found that spatially clustered subsets of neurons encoded oral signals,
stomach filling, visceral malaise, arousal, and/or body movement. Moreover, only
certain subsets were modulated by cortical input. Together, these experiments
establish a platform for understanding how peripheral and central interoceptive
signals are integrated in the brainstem to guide behavior.

text: One of the most surprising results of early James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)
observations is the discovery of an abundance of red, compact, broad-line objects
dubbed “little red dots” (LRDs) at z > 4. Their spatial density (∼10−4–10−5 cMpc−3)
is 100 times more abundant than UV-selected quasars at that redshift if one extrapolates
the quasar luminosity function (QLF) down to the LRD regime. However, whether
LRDs dominate black hole accretion at quasar-like luminosities (Lbol ≳ 1045−46
erg s−1) remains unanswered, as probing the bright end of the LRD luminosity function
requires a much larger area than that which is able to be surveyed by JWST. In
this work, we present our search for the brightest LRDs (K < 23.7) at 4.5 < z
< 4.9 using wide-area multiwavelength imaging surveys from the near-UV to the
infrared bands. With over 15 deg2 of sky coverage, we only identify one single
LRD candidate at zphot ≈ 4.6, which translates into a spatial density of n(M5100
< −23.5) ≈ 10−8 cMpc−3—this is nearly 10 times less abundant than the UV-selected
quasars at similar optical luminosity. When combined with the LRD sample identified
by JWST at the same redshift range, we find a sharp cutoff in the optical luminosity
function at λL5100 ≈ 2.2 × 1044 erg s−1, while the quasar luminosity function
(QLF) turnover occurs at ≳20 times higher luminosity. We therefore confirm the
exclusively low-luminosity nature of LRDs, ruling out that LRDs are the counterparts
of quasars. Furthermore, we speculate that, if the shape of the luminosity function
holds up, it points to LRDs being powered by low-mass black holes with a narrow
range of Eddington-level accretion rates.

text: "We investigate the cosmological information in higher-order statistics of
the cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing convergence field for a near-term
experiment with noise properties similar to the Simons Observatory (SO). Using
a fully field-level forward-modeling pipeline based on ray-traced simulations
from the massivenus suite and realistic SO-like CMB lensing reconstruction, we
naturally include nonlinear structure formation, post-Born effects, and higher-order
reconstruction noise. We measure several non-Gaussian statistics, including Minkowski
functionals, peak and minima counts, moments, and wavelet-scattering coefficients.
We train Gaussian-process emulators to model each statistic’s dependence on the
matter density fraction Ω\U0001D45A, the scalar power spectrum amplitude \U0001D434\U0001D460,
and the neutrino mass sum \U0001D440\U0001D708. We quantify the relative information
gain these statistics provide beyond the lensing power spectrum and identify which
are most robust to reconstruction noise. We find that morphology-based statistics,
particularly Minkowski functionals and peak/minima counts, offer significant complementary
constraining power: combining all non-Gaussian statistics with the power spectrum
yields reductions of 40% and 38% in the marginalized uncertainties on Ω\U0001D45A
and \U0001D434\U0001D460, respectively, and a 70% reduction in the one-sided uncertainty
on \U0001D440\U0001D708. These gains remain non-negligible even when the power
spectrum is extended to larger scales and combined with primary CMB and BAO data,
with Minkowski functionals providing an additional 11% improvement in \U0001D70E(\U0001D440\U0001D708)
and 35% in \U0001D70E(Ω\U0001D45A) beyond the extended power spectrum. By contrast,
moments and wavelet-scattering coefficients provide more limited gains at SO noise
levels. Our results highlight the potential of non-Gaussian statistics to enhance
cosmological constraints from SO and future CMB surveys."

text: Electrical discharge at the smallest possible length and charge scales is
not well understood. Using optical tweezers, we investigate spontaneous discharges
of a single micron-scale particle levitated in air. These ``microdischarges''
have a typical size of $\sim$40 $|e|$, but can be as small as a few $|e|$ and
as large as several hundred. The absence of a well-defined trigger charge and
the weak dependence on particle size suggest events are not classical gaseous
breakdown. Instead, we show that microdischarge events arise from the rapid capture
of ions left in the tracks of nearby passing ionizing radiation. Our results highlight
the role of natural ionizing radiation in initiating micron-scale discharges and
provide a platform for studying discharge physics in electrode-free environments
and at the smallest scales.

text: 'Most massive stars (∼8–25M⊙) interact with a binary companion during their
lifetimes. These interactions can remove the hydrogen-rich envelope, producing
intermediate-mass (∼2–8M⊙) and helium-rich stars. These “stripped stars” are predicted
to emit predominantly in the ultraviolet (UV) and can therefore be identified
via a UV excess—provided they are not outshone by their companion. However, despite
their importance to binary evolution, supernovae, and ionizing feedback, few stripped
stars have been confirmed. This is likely due to the scarcity of wide-field, high
angular-resolution, UV surveys of stellar populations with reliable distances
and extinction estimates. To address this, we present the Stripped-Star Ultraviolet
Magellanic Clouds Survey catalog. We use the Tractor forward modeling software
to perform point-spread function photometry on 2420 Swift UVOT images of the LMC
and SMC. The resulting catalog contains 734,862 sources in three UV filters to
a depth of ∼20 Vega mag. We perform validation tests on the photometry pipeline
and highlight the catalog’s broad applicability. We then identify sources with
excess UV light compared to main-sequence stars and apply a series of quality
cuts. From this, we identify 522 candidate stripped stars in the LMC and 298 in
the SMC. We assess the potential contamination from other UV excess systems and
argue the dominant uncertainty to be dust: early main-sequence stars can mimic
the colors of stripped-star binaries when extinction is overcorrected. This survey
lays the groundwork for the first systematic census of stripped stars and opens
new windows into binary evolution and massive star populations.'

text: While bursty star formation in low-mass galaxies has been observed in local
populations and reproduced in simulations, the dormant phase of the burst cycle
has not been well studied beyond the local Universe due to observational limitations.
We present a unique sample of 43 JWST PRISM spectra of low-mass galaxies (M⋆ <
10^9.5 M⊙) at cosmic noon (1 < z < 3), uniformly selected on F200W magnitude and
precise photometric redshifts enabled by 20-band JWST photometry from the UNCOVER
and MegaScience surveys. The spectra reveal numerous strong Balmer breaks, which
are negatively correlated with the galaxies’ Hα equivalent width. By comparing
these observations to synthetic samples of spectra generated using a simple parameterization
of bursty star formation histories, we show that star formation in low-mass galaxies
at cosmic noon is likely dominated by burst cycles with long timescales (≳100
Myr) and large deviations below the star-forming main sequence (≳0.8 dex). Our
results suggest that galaxies in this population—at least those within our detection
limits—should not be classified solely by their current star formation rates,
but instead viewed as a unified population undergoing dynamic movement above and
below the star-forming main sequence. The derived constraints demonstrate that
long-timescale fluctuations are important for this class of galaxies, indicating
that galaxy-scale gas cycles—rather than molecular-cloud-scale stochasticity—are
the primary regulators of star formation variability in low-mass galaxies at cosmic
noon.

text: Stripped stars are hot, helium-rich stars formed when binary interactions
remove a star’s hydrogen envelope. While low-mass (≲1 M⊙) and high-mass (≳8 M⊙)
stripped stars are well studied as hot subdwarfs and Wolf–Rayet stars, their intermediate-mass
counterparts (1–8 M⊙) have only recently been discovered. The Stripped-Star Ultraviolet
Magellanic Cloud Survey (SUMS) identified UV-excess sources (i.e., sources lying
blueward of the main sequence) in the Magellanic Clouds using Swift-UVOT photometry
and selected 820 photometric stripped-star candidates. However, the completeness
and purity of this sample remain poorly understood. We forward model the population
of stripped stars in the Magellanic Clouds using a binary population synthesis
model combined with spatially resolved star formation histories and simulated
UV photometry. To assess survey sensitivity, we inject simulated sources into
real Swift-UVOT images and reproduce the SUMS selection process, including crowding,
extinction, and photometric quality cuts. For the SMC and LMC, we respectively
recover 31% and 15% of sources with intrinsic UV excess, and 11% and 7% of all
stripped stars. The rest are missed due to dilution by luminous companions, crowding,
high extinction, and limited survey coverage. The observed population is biased
toward systems with low-mass companions formed by common envelope evolution and
systems with compact object companions. We predict contamination of the observed
stripped-star candidates by main-sequence stars with spurious UV excess due to
crowding and provide guidelines for selecting higher-purity subsamples. Our population
synthesis model matches the number and properties of observed stripped star candidates
with masses of (2–5) M⊙ well. It underpredicts the number of lower- and higher-mass
candidates, perhaps due to contamination.

text: NiPS3 has attracted considerable attention, yet the origin of its intriguing
magnetic behaviors remains elusive due to limited insight into its low-energy
anisotropy. Here, high-field torque magnetometry measurements are performed, revealing
a previously unrecognized anisotropic spin response that reflects interaction
terms beyond the standard XY or XXZ models. In combination with relativistic density
functional theory calculations and magnetic force response theory, an effective
low-energy spin Hamiltonian is constructed, elucidating not only the observed
anomalous magnetic behavior but also other recent experiments. Remarkably, the
magnetic dipole interaction and the associated spin-flop transition play a crucial
role in driving the deviation from two-dimensional spin alignment, providing direct
insight into the underlying anisotropic energy hierarchy. The generalized Hamiltonian
can serve as the important fundamental ground for future study, and our approach
adopted here will hopefully be relevant to many other related material systems.

text: Disordered materials such as glasses are promising candidates as solid-state
electrolytes for batteries, but they tend to exhibit low ionic conductivity and
current methods for investigating and predicting the ionic conductivity of electrolyte
materials are inefficient. Here, we propose a framework that summarizes the topological
properties of the electrolyte material’s atomic structure with a weighted graph
based on periodic boundary conditions. We then compute a variation of the max-flow
algorithm, a commonly used model in continuum models of transportation and liquid
flow, on this summary and show that it is compatible with the simulated periodic
atomic structures. Using molecular dynamics simulations of various glassy solid-state
electrolyte families including both mobile lithium and sodium ions, we validate
the approach by showing a positive correlation between the area-normalized maximum
flow predicted from the static glass structures and the ionic conductivity as
obtained from the simulations, especially in the case of high-conductivity sulfide
glass electrolytes. We envision that the developed methodology, which only relies
on static atomic structure, will accelerate the discovery of highly conductive
sulfide glassy electrolytes for high-performance all-solid-state batteries.

text: Glaciers worldwide are becoming increasingly debris-covered, yet many aspects
within the coupled glacier-debris system are not well-understood. While the insulating
effect of continuous debris layers is well-known, the transient feedbacks with
glacier dynamics are poorly understood. The main aim of this study is to better
understand the complex transient glacier response and debris-induced feedbacks
through numerical flow modelling. We present an improved flowline model that couples
ice flow, depth-resolved debris transport, and debris cover impact on mass balance.
This approach allows for a detailed examination of the dynamics of debris-covered
glaciers under transient forcing conditions of climate and debris input over extended
timescales. Our results indicate that low-amplitude, decade-scale variability
in debris or climate forcing does not substantially impact glacier evolution.
However, large debris supply events can have a sustained impact. We find that
debris-covered glacier response to warming climate forcing is non-monotonic, with
distinct phases of thinning, retreat, and long-term re-advance. We attribute this
to a separate, longer timescale process of englacial debris transport. Additionally,
feedbacks in the englacial debris trajectory and complex bed topography further
amplify the non-linear pattern of retreat in the transient glacier response to
warming.

text: "We recently showed that macroscopic nuclear spin ensembles prepared in coherent
spin states can dramatically enhance the interaction rates of weakly interacting
cosmic relics, such as dark matter and the cosmic neutrino background, through
collective quantum effects analogous to Dicke superradiance, where the deexcitation
and excitation rates scale as the square of the number of spins \U0001D4412. We
thus coined these processes superradiant interactions. In this paper, we propose
a protocol to realize this enhancement and boost the discovery potential for such
relics. We show how concepts from quantum optics can be adapted to nuclear spins
coupled to superconducting circuits, enabling high-sensitivity systems. The spins
are first initialized into a coherent spin state via a \U0001D70B/2 Rabi pulse
from the ground state. When the circuit is sufficiently detuned from resonance,
the spin-circuit interaction implements a squeezing Hamiltonian. Because squeezing
must outpace spin relaxation and dephasing, the protocol favors macroscopic ensembles
and high-quality superconducting circuits. During this squeezing phase, the standard
quantum variance is reduced by up to 4.8 orders of magnitude, equivalent to 48
dB of squeezing, for circuits with quality factors \U0001D444∼10^8–10^9. The signal
imprinted on the spins during the squeezing protocol can be magnified by further
utilizing the squeezing interactions, easing the requirement for shot-noise-limited
readout. This protocol has the potential to significantly accelerate axion and
dark photon dark matter searches and extend the reach of existing axion experiments
to probe QCD axion-nuclear spin couplings. More broadly, it paves the way for
detecting coherent inelastic interactions from other cosmic relics, most notably
the cosmic neutrino background, and establishes nuclear-spin-based systems as
a class of quantum, ultra-low-threshold detectors."

text: The division of a mother cell into two daughter cells is a fundamental process
in biology, involving the transfer of genomic information to the next generation
of cells. In plant roots, cell divisions occur in the root apical meristem, a
specialized tissue located at the plant’s root tip. Cell proliferation rates in
the root apical meristem shape root growth, thereby contributing to general development
as well as the acclimatization to stressful environmental conditions through phenotypic
plasticity. Here, we present a protocol for the microscopical analysis of cell
proliferation in Arabidopsis thaliana root meristems by 5-ethynyl-2ʹ-deoxyuridine
(EdU) staining. EdU, a thymine-analog, is incorporated into newly synthesized
DNA of proliferative cells during the S-phase of the cell cycle. Subsequently,
EdU-containing nuclei can be labeled with a fluorophore and detected by confocal
laser scanning microscopy. The combination of the EdU assay with cell wall staining
enables the quantification of root meristem architecture parameters and cell division
activity from microscopic images. Together, this can elucidate how root meristems
respond to changes in environmental conditions or address fundamental questions
of developmental plant biology.

text: We present the number density of massive (log(M*/Mo)> 10.3) quiescent galaxies
at 2 < z < 5 using JWST NIRSpec PRISM spectra. This work relies on spectra from
RUBIES, which provides excellent data quality and an unparalleled, well-defined
targeting strategy to robustly infer physical properties and number densities.
We identify quiescent galaxy candidates within RUBIES through principal component
analysis and construct a final sample using star formation histories derived from
spectrophotometric fitting of the NIRSpec PRISM spectra and NIRCam photometry.
By inverting the RUBIES selection function, we correct for survey incompleteness
and calculate the number density of massive quiescent galaxies at these redshifts,
providing the most complete spectroscopic estimates prior to cosmic noon to date.
We find that early massive quiescent galaxies are surprisingly common (≳10−5 Mpc−3
by 4 < z < 5), which is consistent with previous studies based on JWST photometry
alone and/or in smaller survey areas. We compare our number densities with predictions
from six state-of-the-art cosmological galaxy formation simulations. At z > 3,
most simulations fail to produce enough massive quiescent galaxies, suggesting
the treatment of feedback and/or the channels for early efficient formation are
incomplete in most galaxy evolution models.

variance contribution to the number density uncertainties in this work. We thank
