DrugMCTS: a drug repurposing framework combining multi-agent, RAG and Monte Carlo Tree Search
Recent advances in large language models have demonstrated considerable potential in scientific domains such as drug discovery. However, their effectiveness remains constrained when reasoning extends beyond the knowledge acquired during pretraining. Conventional approaches, such as fine-tuning or retrieval-augmented generation, face limitations in either imposing high computational overhead or failing to fully exploit structured scientific data. To overcome these challenges, we propose DrugMCTS…

Precise control of the phase-transition temperature of VO2 from 70 to -35 °C for tunable optics
We demonstrate the combination of metal doping and ion bombardment as a hybrid technique to precisely engineer the insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) properties of vanadium dioxide (VO$_2$) films. This approach enables (i) setting the phase-transition temperature ($T_c$) from $-35$ to $70$ °C, (ii) near-zero hysteresis in highly doped and irradiated films, and (iii) robust optical contrast across a broad range of doping and irradiation conditions, down to $T_c = -35$ °C. While previous work …

Infinitesimal Torelli problems for special Gushel-Mukai and related Fano threefolds: Hodge theoretical and categorical perspectives
We investigate infinitesimal Torelli problems for some of the Fano threefolds of the following two types: (a) those which can be described as zero loci of sections of vector bundles on Grassmannians (for instance, ordinary Gushel-Mukai threefolds), and (b) double covers of rigid Fano threefolds branched along a $K3$ surface (such as, special Gushel-Mukai threefolds). The differential of the period map for ordinary Gushel-Mukai threefolds has been studied by Debarre, Iliev and Manivel; in partic…

Valley Order in Moiré Topological Insulators
Moiré materials with opposite non-zero miniband Chern numbers in time-reversal-partner valleys are two-dimensional topological insulators at band filling $ν=2$. We explore the possibility that in this class of moir'e materials intervalley coherence can sometimes be present in interaction induced insulators at band filling $ν=1$ , using Landau levels with opposite signs of the magnetic field as a convenient generic model. In the absence of intravalley interactions the mean-field ground state …

Implantation studies of low-energy positive muons in niobium thin films
Here we study the range of keV positive muons $μ^+$ implanted in Nb$_2$O$_5$($x$ nm)/Nb($y$ nm)/SiO$_2$(300 nm)/Si [$x$ = 3.6 nm, 3.3 nm; $y$ = 42.0 nm, 60.1 nm] thin films using low-energy muon spin spectroscopy (LE-$μ$SR). At implantation energies 1.3 keV $\leq E \leq$ 23.3 keV, we compare the measured diamagnetic $μ^+$ signal fraction $f_{\mathrm{dia.}}$ against predictions derived from implantation profile simulations using the TRIM.SP Monte Carlo code. Treating the implanted $μ^+$ as l…

CoPS: Conditional Prompt Synthesis for Zero-Shot Anomaly Detection
Recently, large pre-trained vision-language models have shown remarkable performance in zero-shot anomaly detection (ZSAD). With fine-tuning on a single auxiliary dataset, the model enables cross-category anomaly detection on diverse datasets covering industrial defects and medical lesions. Compared to manually designed prompts, prompt learning eliminates the need for expert knowledge and trial-and-error. However, it still faces the following challenges: (i) static learnable tokens struggle to …

Unlock giant nonreciprocity via multi-valued behavior of non-Hermitian zero-index materials
Although Einstein's field equations are time-independent, the multivalued feature of the horizon of a blackhole naturally enables the one-way transmission, leading to the strong arrow of time from the time-independent gravitational interaction. Here we experimentally demonstrate a photonic analogue of this principle and reveal the infinite nonreciprocity of the time-reversal-symmetric Maxwell equations. By designing a non-Hermitian zero-index magneto-optical metawaveguide, we introduce multival…
