  text: "We construct and characterize a sample of 146 little red dots (LRDs) across
    2.0<z<9.3, selecting all sources with v-shaped\r\nultraviolet (UV)–optical continua
    from James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) NIRSpec/PRISM spectra and compact morphologies
    in NIRCam/F444W imaging. We show that LRD continuum spectra are well described
    by modified blackbodies\r\nacross ∼ 0.4 − 1.0 µm, with typical T ∼ 5000 K (λpeak
    ∼ 0.65 µm) across 2 dex in luminosity, and a tail toward T ∼ 2000 K.\r\nLRDs therefore
    trace a locus in the Hertzsprung–Russell diagram that is analogous to stars on
    the Hayashi track, strongly\r\nsupporting the picture that LRDs are active galactic
    nucleus (AGN) embedded in optically thick dense gas envelopes.\r\nHotter LRDs
    with λpeak < 0.65 µm typically have strong Balmer breaks, redder UV slopes, and
    high optical luminosities;\r\nother LRDs show weak or no Balmer breaks, and wide
    variety in βUV and L5100. Crucially, we demonstrate that the UV–\r\noptical continua
    are strongly linked to the Hα, Hβ, [O iii], and O i line properties. There is
    a tight linear relation between\r\nthe Hα and optical continuum luminosities,
    as well as Hα and O i λ8446, indicating that Balmer, O i, and optical emission\r\nmust
    primarily be powered by the same source. The Balmer decrement increases strongly
    toward higher LHα, L5100, and\r\nBalmer break strength, providing key evidence
    for luminosity-dependent effects of collisional (de-)excitation and resonant\r\nscattering
    in the gaseous envelopes. In contrast, we show that [O iii] emission likely originates
    from star-forming host\r\ngalaxies, with strong variation in the AGN-to-host ratio
    among the LRD population. Our work presents an empirical\r\ndescription of the
    nature and structure of LRDs, defining a new benchmark for ongoing LRD model developments."

  text: A floating Leidenfrost droplet exhibits curvature inversion of its underside,
    due to the balance of vapor pressure and surface tension. Using interferometric
    imaging, we find different behavior for a levitated hydrogel sphere. Curvature
    inversion is observed briefly just after deposition, but quickly gives way to
    a steady state with no inversion. We show the essential role of vaporization in
    shaping the underbelly of the hydrogel, where changes due to direct mass loss
    are more significant than the balance of vapor pressure and elastic forces.

  text: When a Leidenfrost droplet floats on its own vapor layer, the interplay between
    vapor pressure, surface tension, and gravity determines its shape, and in the
    stable regime the underside of the droplet exhibits curvature inversion. Using
    interferometric imaging, we observe a different behavior for a levitated hydrogel
    sphere. Curvature inversion appears briefly after deposition, but the continuous
    vaporization process removes this feature, leading first to an oscillatory regime
    and eventually to a steady state without curvature inversion. We demonstrate the
    essential role of vaporization in shaping the hydrogel underbelly, where direct
    mass loss has a stronger influence than the balance between vapor pressure and
    elastic forces.

  text: We present symplectic structures on the shape space of unparameterized space
    curves that generalize the classical Marsden–Weinstein structure. Our method integrates
    the Liouville 1-form of the Marsden–Weinstein structure with Riemannian structures
    that have been introduced in mathematical shape analysis. We also derive Hamiltonian
    vector fields for several classical Hamiltonian functions with respect to these
    new symplectic structures.

  text: We present a discretization of the dynamic optimal transport problem for which
    we can obtain the convergence rate for the value of the transport cost to its
    continuous value when the temporal and spatial stepsize vanish. This convergence
    result does not require any regularity assumption on the measures, though experiments
    suggest that the rate is not sharp. Via an analysis of the duality gap we also
    obtain the convergence rates for the gradient of the optimal potentials and the
    velocity field under mild regularity assumptions. To obtain such rates we discretize
    the dual formulation of the dynamic optimal transport problem and use the mature
    literature related to the error due to discretizing the Hamilton-Jacobi equation.

  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: 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: 'Embryo cleavage — a series of rapid, reductive cell divisions — is the first
    morphogenetic movement following fertilisation. It lays the foundation for subsequent
    developmental events, including gastrulation, germ layer specification, organogenesis,
    and the establishment of the overall body plan. Two major modes of cleavage exist
    in the animal kingdom: holoblastic (complete) and meroblastic (incomplete) cleavage.
    Because holoblastic cleavage resembles canonical cytokinesis, its biochemical
    and mechanical basis has been extensively studied — an annular contractile ring
    forms at the equator and constricts in a purse-string-like manner, leading to
    the complete separation of two daughter cells. In contrast, although meroblastic
    cleavage occurs widely across the animal kingdom (e.g. in fish, reptiles, birds,
    and cephalopod molluscs), its mechanical basis remains largely unclear. During
    meroblastic cleavage, the cytokinetic furrow forms only at one pole and does not
    traverse the entire embryo, raising the question of how cytokinesis proceeds in
    the absence of a closed contractile ring. Moreover, the resulting daughter cells
    are not fully separated from the underlying yolk compartment, and how these blastomeres
    are subsequently cellularised remains unknown. This thesis takes the zebrafish
    as a model organism to address both questions. The first part characterises the
    biochemical and mechanical mechanisms underlying non-canonical meroblastic cleavage,
    revealing a two-phase process in which actomyosin cable contraction and cadherin-mediated
    membrane adhesion act sequentially to drive furrow ingression and invagination.
    The second part sheds light on the spatiotemporal dynamics by which individual
    blastomeres become cellularised, and uncovers a previously unrecognised contribution
    of central blastomeres to the yolk syncytial layer.'

  text: We investigate whether the nonaccreting phases found in thin, locally isothermal
    circumbinary disks survive when the disk thermodynamics are evolved self-consistently.
    We present grid-based hydrodynamics simulations of circumbinary accretion with
    an energy equation that includes viscous and hydrodynamic heating coupled to radiative
    blackbody cooling in the high-Mach number regime. We find that, although gas accumulates
    and heats at the far edge of the circumbinary cavity, the regions that launch
    accretion streams remain comparatively cold, leading to potentially long-lived
    suppression of the binary accretion rate as the large-scale feeding rate is reduced
    towards the Eddington limit. This runaway nonaccretion problem, however, is weakened
    relative to locally isothermal solutions. Despite their low accretion rates, binaries
    interacting with disks in a nonaccreting phase can remain sufficiently luminous
    and variable at optical and near-infrared frequencies to be detectable in upcoming
    wide-field surveys such as LSST and the Roman Space Telescope. Because of the
    effective truncation of the surrounding disk, though, such systems are comparatively
    faint in high energy, photoionizing emission, and may therefore appear as intrinsically
    X-ray–weak active galactic nuclei with weak or absent emission line features.
    We additionally suggest an update to grid-based sink prescriptions for approximating
    mass loss across an unresolved horizon when including an energy conservation equation.

  text: Manganese-based aqueous zinc-ion batteries (AZIBs) have emerged as promising
    candidates for large-scale energy storage owing to their low cost, intrinsic safety,
    and the abundance of constituent elements. However, their practical deployment
    is still restricted by severe capacity fading caused by Jahn–Teller-induced structural
    instability and sluggish Zn2+ transport in the cathode. Although surface coating,
    heteroatom doping, and structural regulation have been widely explored to improve
    Mn-based cathodes, these approaches may suffer from increased interfacial resistance,
    compositional complexity, or limited control over the intrinsic electronic structure.
    In this context, oxygen-vacancy engineering offers a more direct route to modulate
    local coordination environments and accelerate Zn2+/H+ storage kinetics. Herein,
    lattice-level defect engineering of a dense Mn2O3 host is achieved through a metal–organic
    framework-derived synthesis followed by mild secondary annealing. The introduced
    oxygen vacancies regulate the local electronic structure and coordination environment,
    thereby facilitating Zn2+ diffusion, accelerating charge-transfer kinetics, and
    improving electrochemical reversibility. Combined experimental and theoretical
    investigations further show that oxygen-vacancy engineering enhances electronic
    conductivity, reduces the Zn2+ migration barrier, and enables a reversible dual-ion
    storage mechanism involving both H+ and Zn2+. Benefiting from these effects, the
    Zn‖Vo-Mn2O3 battery delivers a high specific capacity of 359 mAh g−1 at 0.3 A
    g−1, maintains 210 mAh g−1 at 6 A g−1, and retains 74.3% of its capacity after
    10 000 cycles at 12 A g−1 after only 150 s of initial preconditioning. This work
    highlights oxygen-vacancy engineering as an effective route to enhancing the kinetic
    and structural stability of Mn-based cathodes for advanced AZIBs.

  text: Alkali salts are widely used in solution processing, yet the corresponding
    cations are often assumed to remain in the liquid phase. Here, we show that alkali
    ions introduced during the solution synthesis of SnSe are retained through particle
    isolation and continue to influence the material during subsequent thermal processing,
    where they shape the evolution of the final polycrystalline material. Different
    SnSe powders were prepared using Li+, Na+, and K+ precursors, as well as tetramethylammonium
    (TMA+) precursors as a nonalkali reference for comparison, and all samples were
    consolidated under identical conditions. Although all three alkali ions were found
    in the matrix, at grain boundaries, and in segregated nanoscale regions, they
    partitioned differently and resulted in distinct grain sizes, defect distributions,
    and therefore transport properties. Li induced the strongest grain size heterogeneity
    and the lowest energy barriers, Na the best overall balance between carrier concentration
    and mobility, and K the broadest alkali-rich grain boundary regions along with
    the strongest interfacial penalty to charge carrier transport. These results show
    that residual alkali ions are not just remnants of solution synthesis but active
    determinants of microstructure and thermoelectric performance in SnSe.

  text: Genomic measurements of DNA methylation, gene expression or protein levels
    are becoming more prevalent and are increasingly used to study health outcomes.
    However, most proposed association testing methods consider only marginal effects
    of each feature on a single outcome variable and are not set up to handle highly
    correlated, continuous data. Here, we introduce MAJA, a method to learn shared
    and outcome-specific effects for multiple traits in multi-omics data. MAJA determines
    the unique contribution of individual loci, genes, or molecular pathways to variation
    in one or more traits, conditional on all other measured “omics” data genome-wide.
    Simulations show MAJA accurately finds shared and distinct associations between
    omics-data and multiple traits and estimates omics-specific (co)variances, allowing
    for sparsity and correlations within the data. Applying MAJA to 12 outcome traits
    in Generation Scotland methylation data (n = 18 264), we find novel shared epigenetic
    probes among cholesterol metabolism, osteoarthritis, blood pressure and asthma.
    In contrast to marginal testing, we find only 10 CpG probes with significant effects
    above the genome-wide background. This highlights the need for joint association
    testing in highly correlated methylation data from whole blood and for studies
    of increased sample size in order to refine epigenomic associations in observational
    data.

  text: Although studies of tumor invasion have mainly emphasized the evolution of
    genetic and epigenetic heterogeneity, cellular behaviors also depend on the physical
    microenvironment. Yet, the tumor microenvironment is both complex and continuously
    remodeled, making it hard to rigorously test its causal influence on tumor dissemination.
    Here, we adopted a reductionist approach to studying tumor cell invasion in microengineered
    environments of tunable patterned geometries. We find that not only the presence
    of obstacles but more unexpectedly their spatial disorder causes a drastic shift
    from a collective to a single-cell mode of invasion—comparable in strength to
    loss of cell-cell adhesion. Combining live-imaging and perturbation experiments
    with minimal biophysical modeling, we demonstrate that cell dissemination results
    both from local geometrical constraints and a global integration of spatial disorder
    over time. We identify generic universality classes of invasion dynamics dependent
    on environmental geometry, enabling us to identify quantitative physical principles
    for tumor dissemination.

  text: <jats:p>The influence of chiral molecular potentials on phase-coherent transport
    in superconducting Josephson junctions is investigated. Within a Bogoliubov–de
    Gennes tight-binding framework, a superconducting-normal-superconducting (SNS)
    junction functionalized by adsorbed chiral molecules is modeled, where electrostatic
    gradients generated by the molecules induce spin-orbit coupling in the normal
    region. The equilibrium charge current-phase relation is found to remain largely
    insensitive to molecular chirality in symmetric, zero-field configurations. In
    contrast, the spin-polarized equilibrium current exhibits a pronounced chirality-dependent
    response, with opposite enantiomers producing distinct and anisotropic spin-polarized
    Josephson currents. The resulting handedness contrast can be enhanced through
    control parameters such as molecular orientation and the strength of the induced
    spin-orbit coupling. The temperature dependence of these currents further shows
    that the chirality-dependent signatures persist across a range of temperatures
    well below the superconducting critical temperature. These results identify Josephson
    interferometry as a phase-sensitive setting for probing chirality-dependent spin
    structure and highlight spin-polarized superconducting transport as a controlled
    route toward integrating chiral molecular functionality into superconducting spintronic
    devices.</jats:p>

  text: Conjugated molecules with diradical character have emerged as promising building
    blocks for high-conductance single-molecule electronics because of their behavior
    as 1D topological insulators. However, the impact of antiaromaticity on these
    radical-based edge states has not been explored. Here, we introduce thiophene-based
    molecular wires that exhibit intrinsic diradical character in their ground state
    under ambient conditions and systematically investigate how their conductance
    responds to changes in aromaticity upon the oxidation of fluorene-based flanking
    moieties. Using scanning tunneling microscopy-based break junction (STM-BJ) techniques,
    we show that the conductance increases with molecular length in the neutral state,
    supporting one-dimensional topological behavior. We further examine the effect
    of oxidation on conductance through three complementary methods, revealing substantial
    conductance enhancements that we attribute to an increase in the antiaromatic
    character of the wires. Together, these findings establish a rational design strategy
    for highly conducting, electrochemically switchable molecular junctions, with
    implications for single-molecule electronics.

  text: Solid-state polymer electrolytes (SPEs) are promising for high-safety, high-energy-density
    lithium metal batteries, but their adoption is limited by low room-temperature
    ionic conductivity and insufficient mechanical robustness. This study reports
    an improved SPE architecture consisting of a three-dimensional (3D) polyacrylonitrile
    (PAN)–Li6.4La3Zr1.4Ta0.6O12 (LLZTO) fibrous skeleton infused with a polymer electrolyte
    ionic liquid (PIL), which promotes lithium-salt dissociation, accelerates Li+
    transport, and enhances mechanical strength. The resulting SPE achieves an ionic
    conductivity of up to 0.51 mS cm−1. Li|Li symmetric cells using a 40-µm-thick
    SPE cycle stably for 2500 h at 0.2 mA cm−2 with a low overpotential of 30 mV.
    In Li|LiFePO4 (LFP) full cells, the electrolyte enables 86.8% capacity retention
    after 1000 cycles at 0.5 C and maintains stable operation at 130 °C. Flexible
    pouch-cell tests further confirm improved safety and durability under harsh conditions,
    highlighting the potential of this SPE design for high-voltage lithium metal batteries.

  text: Far from being static structures, it is now well accepted that proteins are
    highly dynamic entities even in the solid state. Here, we review recent progress
    in application of magic-angle spinning (MAS) NMR for studying the site-specific
    dynamics of proteins, as assessed using spin-relaxation and measurement of anisotropic
    spin interactions. We focus on the types of experimental data that are available,
    and how best to access the information which is provided by these experimental
    measurements; in particular, we provide a retrospective on the field in light
    of recent advances in analytical methodologies, which have led to a slow paradigm
    shift in how we interpret relaxation rate constant measurements made in the solid
    state.

  text: The safety of Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based controllers has become a prominent
    research area in recent years, with various approaches being proposed to address
    this critical issue. Runtime Safety Assurance (RSA) methods for RL, such as Shielded
    RL, provide formal safety guarantees by preventing agents from taking unsafe actions
    and suggesting safe alternatives when necessary. However, previous surveys and
    reviews on RSA for RL have not thoroughly analysed the challenges and applications
    within the industrial sector. This study builds on existing state-of-the-art research
    on Shielded RL methods, emphasising its contributions to industrial applications
    and offering a domain-specific categorisation. This categorisation highlights
    the primary industrial domains utilising Shielded RL, detailing the optimised
    functions achieved by RL and the safety functions ensured by the shield. Additionally,
    the study presents a categorisation based on environmental features, enabling
    readers to assess the complexity of the problems addressed by the techniques studied.
    The shield’s attributes are analysed for each work, identifying key trends in
    their application, including their adaptability to new scenarios. Finally, a basic
    categorisation model for Shielded RL approaches, grounded in industrial safety
    standards, is introduced. This model serves as a baseline for future studies aiming
    to evaluate the maturity level of the works reviewed.
