Matter scale field: cosmological redshift from evolving material standards

Abstract We formulate Matter Scale Field (MSF) as a relativistic framework in which a homogeneous scalar field controls the evolution of the physical metric and material standards through one common scale. Cosmological redshift is interpreted as a comparison between propagated li...

Neutron elastic scattering at $$\varvec{30.8}$$ MeV on $$\varvec{^{\text {nat}}\textrm{Ce}}$$

Abstract Elastic scattering of fast neutrons at an incident energy of 30.8 MeV on a natural cerium target was measured during an experiment conducted at the Neutrons For Science facility at GANIL-SPIRAL2. This is the first measurement on cerium using incident neutron energy above...

Evaluating urban heat adaptation strategies for extreme heatwaves in complex terrain: A case study of Grenoble, France

Urban heat adaptation strategies are critical for mitigating the impacts of ex- treme heat events in cities, particularly as climate change exacerbates their intensity and frequency. This study evaluates a set of adaptation strategies during the 2023 heatwave in Grenoble, France,...

Fusion at scale: Critical enablers in global energy transitions

Fusion is a promising sustainable energy source that can potentially contribute to achieving the most ambitious climate goals with firm carbon-free baseload electricity. Due to recent advancements, fusion is transitioning from a purely research stage to a pre-commercialisation ph...

Review of Particle Physics *

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,200 new measurements from 903 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and b...

FGFR3-driven gene regulatory network analysis reveals a protumoral role for p63 in luminal bladder tumors

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 ( FGFR3 ) is one of the most frequently altered genes in bladder cancer, primarily through activating mutations that drive oncogenesis and are enriched in luminal tumors. However, the underlying gene regulatory network (GRN) remains poorly char...
