Ambient-Stable Transfer-Free Graphdiyne Wafers with Superhigh Hole Mobility at Room Temperature
Graphdiyne (GDY) is recognized as a compelling candidate for the fabrication of next-generation high-speed low-energy electronic devices due to its inherent p-type semiconductor characteristics. However, the development of GDY for applications in field-effect transistors (FETs), complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS), and logic devices remains constrained by the relatively low carrier mobility reported in current experimental studies. Herein, the synthesis of layer-controlled hydrogen-s…

I saw an article about how good the food options are that are associated with churches. So I went to a Vietnamese place called O BACH across the road from Bunnings in Tuggeranong and had a pretty nice banh mi. Nice crispy bun!
Apologies, I neglected to photograph my food before it disappeared into my cake hole.

Bananas for Tonks' gas: structural transitions in bent-core molecule bi-layers
We study the role of particle geometry in the ordering of bilayers of bent-core particles using a simplified two-dimensional model. Particles are confined to two parallel one-dimensional layers and can adopt only two discrete orientations of their bent cores. By mapping the system exactly onto a pair of coupled Ising chains in the thermodynamic limit, we may obtain closed-form expressions for all correlation functions. The coupling between orientational and layer degrees of freedom produces rem…

Piquant$\varepsilon$: Private Quantile Estimation in the Two-Server Model
Quantiles are key in distributed analytics, but computing them over sensitive data risks privacy. Local differential privacy (LDP) offers strong protection but lower accuracy than central DP, which assumes a trusted aggregator. Secure multi-party computation (MPC) can bridge this gap, but generic MPC solutions face scalability challenges due to large domains, complex secure operations, and multi-round interactions. We present Piquant$\varepsilon$, a system for privacy-preserving estimation of…
