Solid-State Dewetting of Polycrystalline Thin Films: a Phase Field Approach
Solid-state dewetting (SSD) is the process by which thin solid films break up and retract on a substrate, resulting in the formation of nanostructures and islands. While SSD in single-crystalline films is generally understood as a surface-energy-driven process mediated by surface diffusion, polycrystalline films feature additional complexity due to the presence of grain boundaries. Theoretical investigations and simulation frameworks have mainly focused on single-crystalline SSD. In this work, …

Welp we had a weekend of #HeritageOpenDays trips planned but that was before my uncle was sent home from hosp with weeks to live and we made an almost impromptu flying visit to Devon to see him, and the weather decided to throw a wobbly this weekend and make travel and building appreciating pretty unappealing, so we're both knackered from yday's trip and a day behind on stuff plus…

Practically certain that this is a seven-spotted ladybug (Coccinella septempunctata) that came to visit our balcony in Bochum, Germany, yesterday - and not a color form of the harlequin lady beetle: it passed the test https://www.nabu.de/tiere-und-pflanzen/insekten-und-spinnen/kaefer/27814.html with, well, flying colors. ;-)

Finetuning Large Language Model as an Effective Symbolic Regressor
Deriving governing equations from observational data, known as Symbolic Regression (SR), is a cornerstone of scientific discovery. Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown promise in this task by leveraging their vast cross-disciplinary scientific knowledge. However, existing LLM-based methods primarily rely on direct inference or prompt engineering, often requiring excessive inference iterations to converge on correct formulas or failing to treating complex equation targets. These limitations i…

Co-Investigator AI: The Rise of Agentic AI for Smarter, Trustworthy AML Compliance Narratives
Generating regulatorily compliant Suspicious Activity Report (SAR) remains a high-cost, low-scalability bottleneck in Anti-Money Laundering (AML) workflows. While large language models (LLMs) offer promising fluency, they suffer from factual hallucination, limited crime typology alignment, and poor explainability -- posing unacceptable risks in compliance-critical domains. This paper introduces Co-Investigator AI, an agentic framework optimized to produce Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) sign…

I rarely leave my neighborhood these days, so when the opportunity came last weekend to visit a town about 80 km from my home, I took a little detour to visit and take photos of the town’s only national historical marker.
