We predict that intercalating bilayer graphene with nonmagnetic WSSe or magnetic MnSSe Janus monolayers induces a layer-selective switch of the in-plane Rashba spin texture, resulting in opposite spin current directions in the top and…
We perform a systematic study on the long-term X-ray variability for the five ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULXs) in the NGC 4631 galaxy (X1-X5), using Chandra, XMM-Newton, and Swift observations covering a 24-year span. Light curves for the…
Globular clusters (GCs) are highly efficient factories of radio pulsars: per unit of stellar mass, they contain about 1000 times more pulsars than in the Galactic field. Thus far, 345 radio pulsars have been found in GCs. These can be used…
A proportional wealth tax acts as a uniform gravitational field on the wealth distribution: it shifts the drift of the Fokker-Planck equation without altering the diffusion, preserving the Gini coefficient at all finite times. The same…
CP bias in proton--antiproton diffractive dissociation can be viewed from several philosophical perspectives, notably stochastic realism and stochastic epistemicism. When combined with the presumption of temporal symmetry, stochastic…
Inspired by the Swampland Distance Conjecture, we investigate the cosmological implications of a fractional coupling between dark matter (DM) and early dark energy (EDE) in light of the recent DESI DR2 BAO data. We use a conditional…
In this review we discuss semi-classical methods that are traditionally used to describe many-body systems in physics, but may also be used to describe partitions of integers in analytic number theory. Specifically, we explore the…
We present a far-ultraviolet (FUV) photometric study of the ELAIS N1 deep field using the Ultra-Violet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) onboard AstroSat, observed in the F154W filter ($\lambda_{\rm eff} = 1541$\,\AA) with a total on-source exposure…
The distribution of particles is highly anisotropic in the initial stage of a heavy-ion collision. In this paper we demonstrate that this anisotropy induces a sizable effect on the spin alignment of vector mesons. We study two different…
We study the quantum decoherence of a bound state interacting with a reservoir of strongly interacting matter within the framework of open quantum systems. The bound state is modeled as a quantum harmonic oscillator whose parameters are…
Heterodyne Kelvin probe force microscopy (He-KPFM) enables high-sensitivity electrostatic measurements by converting a bias-modulated interaction into a resonant response at a higher cantilever eigenmode. While the "direct" heterodyne…
We show that in a reciprocal Brownian motor the entropy production hidden behind a mechanically stalled coordinate can be reconstructed exactly from measurements of that coordinate alone. We introduce a minimal, analytically solvable…
We use the Ground-State Path Integral Monte Carlo method to study a Bose-Einstein condensate of strongly interacting NaCs polar molecules under the action of a fully anisotropic double microwave shielding potential characterized by a linear…
Artificial intelligence has reshaped scientific prediction, but scientific verification remains a human bottleneck. Automated systems can map observations to labels, parameters or hypotheses, yet scientific conclusions require evidence,…
We use molecular dynamics simulations to directly compute the effective diffusivity of hydrogen gas atoms in homogeneous distributions of monovacancies in tungsten and vanadium, and voids in tungsten. Rather than fitting the results to an…
We study properties of solutions, both evolving and equilibrium of the wave-kinetic equation describing ensembles of weak random waves governed by the Kadomstev-Petviashivli-I equations. The latter equation is integrable by the inverse…
The recent ACT DR6 has shifted the preferred value of the scalar spectral index upward so that many well-established inflationary models have been disfavoured, including the Starobinsky potential. Despite this, the Starobinsky potential…
We investigate the completion dynamics of an overdamped dimer moving in a bistable potential under thermal fluctuations and a weak periodic force. Both monomers start in one of the two wells separated by a barrier. The transition is…
Future long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiments aim to establish leptonic CP violation and determine the neutrino mass ordering with unprecedented precision. However, these measurements can be significantly affected by possible…
Altermagnets, characterized by spin-split electronic bands with compensated magnetic moments, have emerged as a new class of magnetic materials garnering attention in recent years. Here, using a minimal one-band Hubbard model, we show that…
