Reconstructing the human enhancer RNA transcriptome
Abstract Background Transcript-resolved models of RNA enable functional interrogation of RNA biology by linking processing, structure, localisation, and regulatory interactions to specific RNA molecules. Across coding and noncoding transcriptomes, such models have been essential...

Rethinking Transparency in Artificial Intelligence: From Definitions to Functions
Transparency has become one of the defining principles of contemporary artificial intelligence governance, appearing throughout legislation, standards, regulatory frameworks, and ethical guidelines. Yet despite this widespread consensus, AI transparency remains conceptually unsta...

The Emerging Logic Of Prolonged And Indeterminate War
An increasing number of contemporary conflicts appear to resist decisive resolution under specific structural conditions. This argument does not suggest that all wars follow the same trajectory. Rather, it identifies specific structural configurations under which decisive outcome...

Thalamocortical bursts encode reward contingencies and drive associative learning
Abstract Learning requires adaptive changes in neuronal circuits, but how neurons encode learning content in their activity patterns to construct memories remains poorly understood. Using longitudinal multi-site recordings in freely moving male mice performing a sensory discrimin...

Abstract Ammonium (NH4+) monitoring is essential for process control and effluent compliance in wastewater treatment, but conventional grab sampling provides delayed, discrete measurements that cannot capture rapid concentration fluctuations. Solid-state ion-selective electrodes...

Carrier Dynamicsin Nonfullerene Acceptor OrganicPhotovoltaics through Ultrafast Spectroscopy
Abstract Nonfullerene acceptors (NFAs) have transformed organic photovoltaics (OPVs) by enabling high efficiencies at small energetic offsets, but rational progress demands a mechanistic view of photoinduced processes across femtosecond–microsecond windows. This review synthesize...

Abstract A clear understanding of spin relaxation is central to the design and development of molecular spin qubits. A detailed computational study of spin-vibrational coupling and spin–lattice relaxation is presented here for a series of Cu(II) complexes with varying ligand rigi...
- Physics & SpaceOpen access
Abstract:This tutorial derives, step by step and without omitting intermediate algebraic manipulations, the reformulation of the canonical square-root action for a relativistic point particle in a generic (1 + 1)-dimensional Lorentzian metric that permits a smooth limit m → 0. Th...

Phosphoantigen-driven dissociation of butyrophilin oligomers activates γδ T cells
γδ T cells represent a promising avenue for cancer immunotherapy. The Vγ9Vδ2 T-cell receptor (TCR), which is expressed by the predominant subset of γδ T cells, responds to phosphoantigen (pAg)-engaged butyrophilins (BTNs) on various cancer cells. However, the molecular mechanism...

Enhanced Sodium-IonTransport across Solid ElectrolyteInterphase via Electric-Field Modulation
Abstract The ion transport properties of the solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) critically govern the kinetics and cycling stability of rechargeable batteries. However, a mechanistic understanding of ion transport within this dynamic, multicomponent interphase remains limited. In...

Evaluability as a Precondition for Ethical Reasoning in Artificial Intelligence
Contemporary AI ethics has developed a robust normative framework emphasizing fairness, accountability, transparency, explainability, governance, and meaningful human oversight. These principles seek to ensure that increasingly capable AI systems remain subject to responsible hum...
