The Trump administration is not attacking the "excesses" of "woke" scholarship. They're at war with the very idea of power analysis, with the feeling of deep empathy with the oppressed, with ethical commitment to make a just world.

Features of the Electronic and Charge States of Monovalent-Doped Manganite Films Probed by Magnetic Circular Dichroism
Magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectroscopy in the range of 1.2 - 3.7 eV was studied for La1-xKxMnO3 (x = 0.05 - 0.18) epitaxial films over a wide temperature range. The thin films were grown using a two-step procedure: deposition of LaxMnO3-δ and potassium K+ incorporation into the films via isopiestic annealing. The temperature behavior of the MCD effect in different spectral regions was analyzed alongside the temperature dependences of magnetization, resistivity, and magnetoresistance of…

Electro-mechanical wrinkling of soft dielectric films bonded to hyperelastic substrates
Active control of wrinkling in soft film-substrate composites using electric fields is a critical challenge in tunable material systems. Here, we investigate the electro-mechanical instability of a soft dielectric film bonded to a hyperelastic substrate, revealing the fundamental mechanisms that enable on-demand surface patterning. For the linearized stability analysis, we use the Stroh formalism and the surface impedance method to obtain exact and sixth-order approximate bifurcation equation…

Maximum Spread of Vertex Degrees in a Simple Graph
We consider the following problem: let $n>k$ be natural numbers, and let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices (undirected, without loops or multiple edges). Denote by $h_k(G)$ the number of unordered pairs of vertices in the graph $G$ whose degrees differ by less than $k$. We aim to determine the smallest possible value $f(n,k)$ of the quantity $h_k(G)$. Interest in this question is motivated by the fact that the bipartite analogue of the problem enabled S. Cichomski and F. Petrov to prove the Burdzy…

Visual Multi-Agent System: Mitigating Hallucination Snowballing via Visual Flow
Multi-Agent System (MAS) powered by Visual Language Models (VLMs) enables challenging tasks but suffers from a novel failure term, multi-agent visual hallucination snowballing, where hallucinations are seeded in a single agent and amplified by following ones due to the over-reliance on textual flow to relay visual information. Through turn-, layer-, and token-wise attention analyses, we provide detailed insights into the essence of hallucination snowballing regarding the reduction of visual att…
