Ferroelectric nitrogen-polar ScAlN heterostructures on 4H-SiC enabled by thin AlN buffer layers
The expansive functional landscape of ferroelectric nitrides has sharpened interest in host platforms that can preserve excellent structural quality while extending operation to high-temperature, harsh-environment regimes. 4H-SiC is especially compelling owing to its thermal robu...

Sarah Purser and the development of Ireland’s public art museums
The painter Sarah Purser (1848–1943) was an indomitable figure in the Irish cultural scene of her day. She played a significant role in two of Dublin’s art museums, the Municipal Gallery of Modern Art (now Hugh Lane Gallery) and the National Gallery of Ireland (NGI). A close frie...

NEW INC Y12 Creative Science: Designing with the Undesired: Giant Hogweed and Interspecies Futures
Biological invasions are widely recognized as a major driver of anthropogenic global change, with documented ecological, economic, and regulatory impacts (Pyšek et al. 2020).Within invasion ecology, impact-based classification systems structure management strategies and biosecuri...

Uncertainty and Ethical Permissibility in Youth Gender Care
This Viewpoint discusses how misuse of evidence-based medicine displaces the pediatric ethical principles of proportionality and shared decision-making and risks precluding both access to care and generation of evidence needed to reduce uncertainty.

Evaluating Reliability and Bias of Large Language Models in Automated Essay Scoring
This study investigates the reliability and bias of two Large Language Models (LLMs), ChatGPT-4o and Gemma3, when used for Automated Essay Scoring (AES), compared to human rater evaluations. Using a repeated measures ANOVA and Bland-Altman analysis on min-max scaled scores, we fo...

The polymerase milieu of human papillomavirus
High-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs) cause cervical, anogenital, and head and neck cancers. A key oncogenic mechanism involves viral exploitation of host DNA damage tolerance pathways to support productive replication, a process that also drives genomic instability. Despite ev...

E8 Torsional Soliton Braiding for Topological Quantum Error Correction — E8 Intelligence Research
The 240-root lattice's phi-scaled torsion solitons, when driven at 132Hz, undergo non-abelian braiding across Coxeter planes, enabling topologically protected qubits. The non-local entanglement from vertex-rotation symmetry and the EM-stringer polariton binding provide the physic...

Sympathetic action potential synchronicity and blood pressure regulation in healthy young adults
This study investigated sympathetic neural blood pressure regulation in humans by quantifying synchronous and asynchronous action potential (AP) discharge. Muscle sympathetic AP discharge was measured (microneurography; continuous wavelet transform) in twenty-one healthy young ad...

Hidden Cost of Re-Engagement: Workload in Dynamic Multi-Operator Supervision of Autonomous Systems
Autonomous systems are increasingly shifting from single-agent oversight to distributed fleet supervision, where operators alternate between monitoring, waiting, and brief intervention. We examined whether multi-operator, multi-agent supervision preserves objective performance wh...

Antidemocratic Policing in America: The Institutionalization of Historical Trauma
Around the world, countries have begun reforms to align their police forces with a democratic policing culture. Despite significant progress in interpreting the United States Constitution, the United States has failed to fulfill one of the key aspects of democratic governance: de...

The expression of metazoan replication-dependent histone genes is controlled by NPAT and U7 snRNP. NPAT activates transcription of histone genes during S-phase, whereas U7 snRNP is a multi-subunit endonuclease that cleaves the resultant transcripts at the 3' end, yielding mature...

Genomic Potential and Climate Resilience of Agave angustifolia Haworth in Raicilla Production
Agave angustifolia Haw. is one of the primary sources for the production of mezcals such as raicilla and tuxca, in western Mexico. In Jalisco, Agave angustifolia evolved from being a pre-Hispanic ritual and food resource (200–1500 CE) to becoming the primary basis for 16th-centur...

Response of Mechanical Properties in PVC-P GMB to Tensile Rate and Low Temperature
Plasticized polyvinyl chloride (PVC-P) geomembranes (GMBs) are widely used in cold regions as impervious barriers, facing combined low-temperature and variable loading effects. However, design specifications rely on room-temperature tests at fixed rates, not reflecting actual con...
