  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.

  text: Balancing selection, a form of selection that maintains genetic diversity,
    is difficult to detect, and the importance of balancing selection for the maintenance
    of genetic variation may be larger than often assumed. We model the possibility
    that the diversity-promoting effects of balancing selection extend to other loci
    that show sign epistasis with a locus under balancing selection. Rather than focusing
    on overdominance, as was done in previous efforts, we explore the effects of negative
    frequency dependence and show that this has important effects on the conditions
    under which the diversity-promoting effect of epistasis can occur in diploids.
    Our results show that not only recombination rate but also the dominance of sign
    epistasis are key parameters that determine the maintenance of polymorphism beyond
    the locus under direct balancing selection. We suggest that the effect we explore
    may play a significant role, especially when balancing selection acts on major
    effect loci.

  text: Balancing selection, a form of selection that maintains genetic diversity,
    is difficult to detect, and the importance of balancing selection for the maintenance
    of genetic variation may be larger than often assumed. We model the possibility
    that the diversity-promoting effects of balancing selection extend to other loci
    that show sign epistasis with a locus under balancing selection. Rather than focusing
    on overdominance, as was done in previous efforts, we explore the effects of negative
    frequency dependence and show that this has important effects on the conditions
    under which the diversity-promoting effect of epistasis can occur in diploids.
    Our results show that not only recombination rate but also the dominance of sign
    epistasis are key parameters that determine the maintenance of polymorphism beyond
    the locus under direct balancing selection. We suggest that the effect we explore
    may play a significant role, especially when balancing selection acts on major
    effect loci.

  text: We investigate the nonequilibrium dynamics of core-hole excitations in a one-dimensional
    fermionic few-body system consisting of a spin-polarized Fermi bath coupled to
    a single heavy mobile impurity. The bath is initially prepared in a particle-hole
    configuration by emptying a selected bath single-particle orbital, while the impurity
    is displaced with respect to the center of the bath confinement potential. The
    quench dynamics are initialized by suddenly switching on the impurity-bath interaction.
    To resolve the resulting dynamics, we combine two complementary ab initio approaches,
    namely, the MultiLayer MultiConfiguration Time-Dependent Hartree method for mixtures
    and a multichannel Born-Oppenheimer framework. We show that the postquench response
    is governed by the interaction strength, impurity confinement, mass imbalance,
    and the location of the initially prepared hole within the Fermi sea. The density
    evolution and impurity center-of-mass motion reveal a competition between mixing
    and demixing of impurity and bath, while the von Neumann entropy demonstrates
    the buildup of pronounced many-body correlations. Most importantly, the occupation
    dynamics of the initially emptied orbital identifies deep core holes as substantially
    more robust against refilling than bulk or edge vacancies. Our results establish
    core-hole excitations as robust dynamical many-body features in trapped ultracold
    fermions and provide a controlled route toward probing orthogonality response,
    correlation buildup, and hole refilling in real time.

  text: Josephson junction (JJ) chains combine the coherence of superconductivity
    with the controllability of microwave-frequency circuits, making them a powerful
    platform for circuit quantum electrodynamics. In this work, we consider a long
    JJ chain that effectively realizes a multimode cavity with nonlinear dispersion
    and additional multimode interactions. Individual modes appearing due to the finite
    size of the chain can be experimentally probed via microwave spectroscopy, both
    in equilibrium and in driven far-from-equilibrium settings. We study the role
    of multimode interactions in degrading internal coherence—observable as excess
    linewidth—in both equilibrium and driven regimes. Focusing on two-into-two mode
    scattering as the leading relaxation process, we classify the relevant scattering
    processes and derive their expected temperature- and frequency-scaling under equilibrium
    conditions. For experimentally relevant parameters, we show that the equilibrium
    decay rate is dominated by nonresonant processes, however, weakly driving a particular
    set of modes out of equilibrium enhances resonant scattering, leading to observable
    signatures in the distribution function and linewidth. Finally, in the strong
    nonequilibrium regime, we report a crossover to a qualitatively different nonequilibrium
    steady state.

    that with high probability the Itai–Zehavi conjecture holds asymptotically for
    the Erdős–Rényi random graph \U0001D43A⁡(\U0001D45B,\U0001D45D)\r\n when \U0001D45B⁢\U0001D45D
    =\U0001D714⁡(log⁡\U0001D45B)\r\n and for random regular graphs \U0001D43A⁡(\U0001D45B,\U0001D451)\r\n
    when \U0001D451 =\U0001D714⁡(log⁡\U0001D45B)\r\n. Moreover, we essentially confirm
    the conjecture up to a constant factor for sparser random regular graphs. This
    answers a question of Draganić and Krivelevich positively. Our proof makes use
    of recent developments on sprinkling techniques in random regular graphs."

  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

    division, potentially leading to tradeoffs between advantageous effects on brain

  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.
