In Artificial Colloidal Ice (ACI), paramagnetic colloidal particles are confined in double-well traps and interact via repulsive, isotropic, magnetic dipole-dipole interactions that can be controlled by an external magnetic field. In this…
Classical grasp quality metrics assume a single deterministic friction coefficient, so they cannot predict whether a grasp retains force closure across the range of friction values the contacting surfaces may exhibit. To predict these…
The von K\'arm\'an turbulent swirling flow exhibits intriguing large-scale metastable dynamics, including low-frequency state switching. The study of state switching demands long-duration high-fidelity simulations at high Reynolds numbers…
Extended Reality (XR) is increasingly used in human-robot interaction to communicate robot intent, planned motion, reachability, and state. We argue that XR should also be understood as a mediation layer for situated human control in…
A Derivative-Free Optimization (DFO) model is developed and analyzed for solving inverse structured symmetric matrix problems for which the eigenvalues are specified. Some (zero and nonzero) entries are preassigned and cannot be changed,…
Electroencephalography (EEG) analysis in cognitive studies requires specialized expertise and involves many defensible choices over contrasts, channels, time windows, and statistical tests. LLM agents can translate varied natural-language…
We analyze the ultra-faint Milky Way satellite Virgo III using data from the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Data Preview 2 (DP2). Virgo III was observed in the Rubin "Cosmic Treasure Chest" (M49) First Look field, which contains 924 visits in…
mRNA translation in the cell requires efficient allocation of shared and limited resources including free ribosomes, tRNA molecules, and initiation factors across multiple transcripts. Using a network of dynamic mathematical models for…
The evolution of customer support systems is rapidly advancing with agentic chatbots, yet these systems face significant limitations when accessing enterprise data without predefined API endpoints. This paper presents SAFAARI (Schema-Aware…
A growing number of applications, such as biometrics and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), rely on cosine similarity scores computed between vector embeddings of text, images, or audio. These systems return similarity scores through…
For $n$ points in the plane and an $\varepsilon>0$, we construct a $(1+\varepsilon)$-spanner with $O(n/\varepsilon)$ edges in which every edge has $\tilde{O}(1/\varepsilon^3)$ crossings, hence the total number of crossings is…
Data-driven materials discovery promises to compress the historically decades-long path from invention to deployment, yet translating individual successes into sustained industrial discovery programs remains difficult. Three obstacles…
Long COVID (LC) poses a challenge for clinical decision support because relevant evidence is distributed across sources with different update cycles, evidentiary roles, and levels of clinical maturity. We present a clinician-facing chatbot…
Embedded fault diagnosis in three-phase inverters must satisfy the sub-watt power budget of converter control hardware, but conventional convolutional neural network (CNN)-based methods require dense multiply-accumulate operations and…
The Burnside ring of a finite category, introduced by Webb, generalizes the classical Burnside ring of a finite group. However, unlike the classical case, the Burnside ring of a finite category has finite rank if and only if the category is…
Blue asymmetries (``Blueshifts'') in the C IV 1550A emission line are common in luminous quasars. If they are formed in winds, how much energy, momentum and mass do those winds transport? We address this question by considering how much…
We develop a quantum-tomographic framework for determining whether possible CP-odd effects in $t\bar t$ events originate in production, in decay, or in both. In the narrow-width approximation, the process $I\to t\bar t\to b\ell^+\nu\,\bar…
We report on resonance ionization laser spectroscopy measurements performed on both neutron-deficient and neutron-rich thulium ($\mathrm{Tm}, Z=69$) isotopes. Isotope shifts were determined for three atomic ground-state transitions at…
Agent Skills are an emerging way to extend large language model agents with reusable procedural knowledge that the agent loads on demand. Anthropic introduced Agent Skills and published the format as an open specification supported across…
Clustering is a fundamental problem in statistics, with applications across many scientific disciplines. In many modern applications involving clustering, the primary dataset (the target data) is accompanied by related datasets (the source…
