Rotating Weyssenhoff fluids in linearized Einstein-Cartan theory

The Weyssenhoff fluid expands the ordinary perfect-fluid description of general relativity by taking into account the intrinsic spin of its constituent particles. Within the linearized regime of Einstein-Cartan theory, we investigate the exterior geometry produced by isolated slo...

Improving the accuracy of fixed-node diffusion Monte Carlo for non-covalent interactions

Diffusion quantum Monte Carlo (DMC) and coupled cluster theory [CCSD(T)] are widely used benchmark methods for noncovalent interactions (NCIs). However, recent studies have reported notable discrepancies for several hydrogen-bonded and dispersion-dominated systems, raising questi...

Non-stabilizerness and violations of CHSH inequalities

We study quantitatively the interplay between entanglement and non-stabilizer resources in violating the CHSH inequalities. We show that, while non-stabilizer resources are necessary, they must have a specific structure, namely they need to be both asymmetric and (surprisingly) l...

Construction and characterisation of the DarkSide-20k veto silicon photo-multiplier tiles

Abstract Silicon photo-multipliers (SiPMs) are state-of-the-art sensors capable of detecting a single photoelectron under cryogenic conditions, with potentially lower radioactivity than widely used photomultiplier tubes. The DarkSide-20k experiment, designed to perform direct dar...

The pre-geometric origin of geometric trinity of gravity

Abstract The so-called geometric trinity of gravity is based on three distinct geometric features of spacetime, i.e. curvature, torsion and non-metricity, which give rise to equivalent dynamics for general relativity (GR), teleparallel equivalent of general relativity (TEGR) and...

Comparative modelling of large-scale 3D genome re-arrangements in different viral infections

Abstract Viruses can re-structure the architecture of host cells genome and also alter their epigenomic landscape. In this study, we investigate with polymer physics modelling virus induced genome re-organization by using available datasets from different viral infections causing...

Remote engineering of particle-like topologies to visualise entanglement dynamics

Abstract Skyrmions are a particle-like topology with a quantized skyrmion number, realized across condensed matter and photonic platforms alike. In quantum photonics, they constitute an emerging resource, promising robust quantum information encoding, so far realized as single-ph...

High‐Responsivity and Fast‐Response Organic Phototransistor Based on Dinaphtho[2,3‐b:2′,3′‐f]Thieno[3,2‐b]Thiophene

ABSTRACT Organic phototransistors (OPTs) are promising as low‐cost detectors compatible with plastic‐substrate electronics for visible light communication (VLC) systems. However, enhancing their sensitivity without sacrificing speed remains challenging. In this work, we report on...

Boosting PeroxideReactivity: New Mn(II) ChelidamateCatalysts for Efficient Low-Temperature Bleaching

Abstract The development of efficient catalytic systems for low-temperature bleaching is a key challenge for reducing energy consumption in laundry processes. In this work, five manganese(II) complexes derived from chelidamic acid were designed, synthesized, and evaluated as blea...

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...
