The novelty of this work is that it takes a result of macromolecular theory that is not objective, and fixes it. To do so we use an objective vorticity tensor to obtain a fully frame invariant form of the classical constitutive equation for…
We present the verification of a thermo--hydrologic--mechanical capability implemented within the PFLOTRAN framework, with emphasis on benchmark-based assessment of the THM implementation. The thermal--hydrologic (TH) equations for mass and…
Carbocations are key species in interstellar chemistry, providing entry points for building larger hydrocarbons. CH+, and more recently, CH3+, have been detected. Other carbocations await detection to provide a comprehensive view of the…
Non-invertible defects are usually diagnosed through scaling spectra or infrared CFT data. We show that the Fibonacci duality defect of the critical golden chain already carries an exact categorical fingerprint at finite lattice size. The…
WST, the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope is a proposed new facility that will provide a transformational gain in spectroscopic survey capability over existing facilities. The WST is a 12 metre class telescope equipped with…
Electron scattering from chiral spin textures such as skyrmions is fundamental to the understanding of transport in more complex systems, including skyrmion crystals. Most of the previous studies have focused on the weak-coupling regime,…
We study a one-dimensional electronic chain coupled to a homogeneous quantized vacuum field and electron-electron interactions. In the absence of the latter, we derive a low-energy effective description in the presence of light-matter…
Non-invertible symmetries are characterized by topological defects of irrational quantum dimension, but their imprint on the entanglement of a quantum many-body state has not been resolved at the level of the spectrum. We show that the…
The Altitude Structure of the Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is designed to support and position both primary and secondary mirrors, made of structural steel. Due to its dimensions, the Altitude Structure is a substantial part of…
The Wide-field Spectroscopic Telescope (WST) is a planned 12-meter-class dedicated spectroscopic facility designed to address key scientific challenges through large spectroscopic surveys. This paper presents the current status of Work…
We leverage the strong gravitational field of Abell S1063 to identify faint, highly magnified galaxies using ultra-deep James Webb Space Telescope (JWST)/NIRCam imaging from the GLIMPSE survey and ancillary Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/ACS…
Accurate 3D localization of radiation interactions in scintillation detectors is essential for nuclear and particle physics, safeguards, and medical imaging, but remains difficult in light-starved regimes with limited photon statistics. We…
How stellar-mass black holes grow after their birth is a central open question in astrophysics. Gravitational-wave observations have revealed a subpopulation of coalescing black holes with both high masses and high spins, but whether these…
Hawking radiation - the emission of quantum particles at the event horizon of a black hole - connects gravity with quantum mechanics and thermodynamics; the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy has been the benchmark for potential quantum theories of…
We present a strategy to compute the inclusive decay rate for the process $\bar B_s \mapsto X_{\bar sc} \ell \bar{\nu}$ from first principles in lattice QCD. The physical decay rate is obtained from the interpolation of non-perturbative…
We present a symmetric Lanczos method for computing charge-changing QRPA strength functions in atomic nuclei. Starting from the finite-amplitude-method formulation of the QRPA linear-response problem, we derive equivalent spectral…
We construct new multiparticle models of $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric mechanics with spin degrees of freedom by employing nonlinear indecomposable supermultiplets ${\bf (1,4,3){\supset\hspace{-1.1em}+}(4,4,0)}$. These systems are proper…
Valley coherence refers to a phase-coherent superposition of inequivalent momentum valleys, in which quantum information can be encoded in the relative valley phase. Chiral nematic liquid crystals, by imposing a flip of the spin angular…
Direct Numerical Simulations (DNS) of a spatially developing supersonic turbulent shear layer are conducted for a range of convective Mach numbers ($M_c$) and velocity parameters ($\lambda$) to examine the effects of compressibility and…
Solar filament oscillations provide important diagnostics of prominence magnetic structure and stability, but their detection in long H\alpha archives has traditionally relied on visual inspection, manually placed slits, and time--distance…
