- Materials & EnergyOpen access
Abstract Organic mixed ionic–electronic conductors (OMIECs) are π-conjugated polymer–electrolyte composites that support coupled ionic and electronic transport, making them candidates for bioelectronics, electrochemical sensors, and energy storage devices. Despite growing interes...

KDM2B controls HIF levels and activity through its JmjC and CxxC domains.
Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are key regulators of cellular responses to low oxygen (hypoxia), controlling the expression of genes required for survival and adaptation. KDM2B, a chromatin-modifying enzyme, is a direct target of HIF-1α, but its precise role in regulating HIF a...

Abstract Drought is a significant factor in agricultural losses, making it imperative to understand how root system architecture (RSA) adapts to environmental condition like water deficit. HydroRoot is a functional-structural plant model (FSPM) aimed at analyzing and simulating h...

The missing mass problem in galaxies remains unresolved within the standard cosmological model. This paper presents Spacetime Memory Gravity (SMG), a covariant scalar-tensor modification of general relativity in which an auxiliary field encodes the accumulated curvature history o...

Global hyper-resolution modeling of historical and future groundwater dynamics
Abstract. The sustainable management of global groundwater resources is a key societal challenge and is central to the Sustainable Development Goals. The localized dynamics of groundwater abstraction, topography, and surface-water interactions, as well as the sensitivity of groun...

Probing Instruction Execution Stability of Large Language Models under Semantic Paraphrase
Large Language Models (LLMs) are commonly controlled through natural-language instructions, yet equivalentprompts can yield inconsistent behavior. While prior work has largely evaluated prompt effectiveness throughtask accuracy, less attention has been paid to the stability of in...

Abstract. Hemiboreal forests bridge boreal and temperate biomes by combining functional and compositional features of both and playing a key role in regional carbon and water cycling. Water (WUE), carbon (CUE), and light (LUE) use efficiencies provide integrative indicators of ho...

Quantum Field Approaches to Chemical Systems
Abstract Quantum-matter theory (QMT), based on the Schrödinger or Dirac equations, is firmly established for both intra- and intermolecular interactions. However, there are two key issues with QMT. First, its applicability to large molecular complexes is hindered by the relative...

The Other Side of Caesarism: A Genealogy of Italian Fascist Authoritarianism
This contribution explores the cultural foundations of the concept of Caesarism, from the late positivist naturalization of national characters up to Fascism. The first section argues that the ill-defined concept of Caesarism circulating in Italian political discourse was based o...
- Physics & SpaceOpen access
Achieving stable magnetic confinement in nuclear fusion plasmas remains a profound theoretical and engineering challenge. Fundamentally, plasma confinement is a problem of macroscopic force density equilibrium. However, standard Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models treat mechanical f...

Air Quality in Cities: What Do Sparse Sensor Networks Miss?
Abstract Stationary air quality networks are increasingly being used to refine urban air pollution exposure assessments and inform local government decision-making, yet to date, a comprehensive assessment of the extent to which such measurements provide sufficient spatial resolut...

Atmospheric new particle formation enhanced by tricarboxylic acids
Abstract. Organic molecules contribute significantly to the formation of aerosols in the atmosphere, forming what is known as secondary organic aerosols (SOA). The organic molecules are emitted as volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and undergo a number of reactions in the atmosph...

CRUX-1.0: an automatic GHG and Ozone observation system for inland Antarctica Plateau
Abstract. Antarctic inland regions, as critical hubs for global climate change monitoring, suffer from a lack of reliable long-term greenhouse gas (GHG) observation systems due to extremely low temperatures, strong winds, and limited logistical/energy support. To address this gap...

Uniform silver shell formation for air-stable Cu@Ag NW coatings with enhanced conductivity
Copper@silver (Cu@Ag) core–shell nanowires (NWs) were synthesized using a controlled galvanic displacement approach designed to suppress the oxidation typically observed in copper nanostructures. The procedure included a Diethylhydroxylamine (DEHA) based pretreatment to remove na...

A perspective on training machine learning force fields for solid-state electrolyte materials
Abstract Machine learning force fields enable high-accuracy modeling of solid-state electrolytes (SSEs). This perspective evaluates dataset size, reference quality, and model architectures. We show that crystalline frameworks of bulk SSEs favor efficient learning, prioritizing da...

Model Monoculture Risk: Systemic AI Convergence in Banking and Financial Markets
As financial institutions become increasingly reliant on similar foundational AI models, cloud infrastructure, data providers, and AI middleware platforms, diverse firms may begin to interpret and respond to market signals in increasingly similar ways. This paper examines model m...
