A facile vector substrate platform via BaTiO3 membrane transfer enables high quality solution processed epitaxial PZT on silicon
The direct integration of high-performance ferroelectric oxides with silicon remains challenging due to lattice mismatch, thermal incompatibility, and the need for high-temperature epitaxial growth. Here, a hybrid integration approach is demonstrated in which crystalline BaTiO3 (BTO) membranes are first transferred onto Pt coated Si substrates and subsequently used as vector substrates (VS) for the growth of epitaxial (001) Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3 (PZT) thin films via chemical solution deposition (C…

MST-Distill: Mixture of Specialized Teachers for Cross-Modal Knowledge Distillation
Knowledge distillation as an efficient knowledge transfer technique, has achieved remarkable success in unimodal scenarios. However, in cross-modal settings, conventional distillation methods encounter significant challenges due to data and statistical heterogeneities, failing to leverage the complementary prior knowledge embedded in cross-modal teacher models. This paper empirically reveals two critical issues in existing approaches: distillation path selection and knowledge drift. To address …

Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’
The statement contradicts Google’s recent narrative about the health of the online ecosystem. For months, Google has maintained that the web is “thriving,” AI isn’t tanking traffic, and its search engine is sending people to a wider variety of websites than ever. But in a court filing from last …

The half-space KPZ line ensemble and its scaling limit
For each $α\in \mathbb{R}$, $t \geq 1$, we show that there exists a unique $\mathbb{N}$-indexed line ensemble of random continuous curves $\mathbb{R}_{\le 0} \to \mathbb{R}$ with the following properties: (1) The top curve is distributed as the time-$t$ Cole--Hopf solution to the half-space KPZ equation with narrow wedge initial condition and Neumann boundary condition with parameter $α$. (2) The line ensemble satisfies a one-sided resampling invariance property, involving softly non-inte…

Quantitative Mapping of the Loeb Scale
The recent discovery of a third interstellar object (ISO) 3I/ATLAS, following 1I/`Oumuamua and 2I/Borisov, has raised questions about the nature and origin of these enigmatic objects. With the Vera C. Rubin Observatory expected to discover dozens of new ISOs over the next decade, it is timely to use a classification scheme for their nature in the context of the recently proposed Loeb scale. Here, we provide a formalism for ranking ISOs quantitatively on the Loeb Scale in analogy to Sagan's form…

Probabilistic thresholds of turbulence decay in transitional shear flows
Linearly stable shear flows first transition to turbulence in the form of localised patches. At low Reynolds numbers, these turbulent patches tend to suddenly decay, following a memoryless process typical of rare events. How far in advance their decay can be forecasted is still unknown. We perform massive ensembles of simulations of pipe flow and a reduced order model of shear flows (Moehlis et al. 2004) and determine the first moment in time at which decay becomes fully predictable, subject to…

Modifying the Optical Emission of Vanadyl Phthalocyanine via Molecular Self-Assembly on van der Waals Materials
Vanadyl phthalocyanine (VOPc) is a promising organic molecule for applications in quantum information because of its thermal stability, efficient processing, and potential as a spin qubit. The deposition of VOPc in different molecular orientations allows the properties to be customized for integration into various devices. However, such customization has yet to be fully leveraged to alter its intrinsic properties, particularly optical emission. Normally, VOPc films on dielectric substrates emit…
