Work Function Mapping Across a-In2Se3 to α-In2Se3 to γ-InSe in RF-Sputtered Thin Films
Indium selenide is a phase-change chalcogenide whose polymorphism enables a variety of physical properties to be tuned. Here we directly quantify the evolution of the surface work function across the amorphous-to-crystalline transition in RF-sputtered In2Se3 thin films grown on c-plane Al2O3 (001). By varying deposition temperature (100-500 °C) and film thickness, we establish processing windows for a- In2Se3, α-In2Se3, and γ-InSe, and correlate structure with electronic and morphological pr…

seemingly normal well adjusted software developers keep following me
actually now that I typed that I'm not sure if those actually exist

Proton: an incredible feat of software engineering; a Rube Goldberg machine that brought Windows gaming to Linux seemingly overnight after decades of Windows domination.
Copilot: a black box inflationary doodad riding the Nvidia wings after the crypto bubble; airplanes not falling from sky only because traffic control probably doesn't have it installed on critical hardware.

Generating CodeMeta using declarative mapping rules: An open-ended approach using ShExML
Nowadays, software is one of the cornerstones when conducting research in several scientific fields which employ computer-based methodologies to answer new research questions. However, for these experiments to be completely reproducible, research software should comply with the FAIR principles, yet its metadata can be represented following different data models and spread across different locations. In order to bring some cohesion to the field, CodeMeta was proposed as a vocabulary to represent…

AI-assisted Programming May Decrease the Productivity of Experienced Developers by Increasing Maintenance Burden
Generative AI solutions like GitHub Copilot have been shown to increase the productivity of software developers. Yet prior work remains unclear on the quality of code produced and the challenges of maintaining it in software projects. If quality declines as volume grows, experienced developers face increased workloads reviewing and reworking code from less-experienced contributors. We analyze developer activity in Open Source Software (OSS) projects following the introduction of GitHub Copilot.…

Hybrid MAC Protocol with Integrated Multi-Layered Security for Resource-Constrained UAV Swarm Communications
Flying Ad Hoc Networks (FANETs) present unique challenges due to high node mobility, dynamic topologies, and strict resource constraints. Existing routing protocols often optimize for a single metric, such as path length or energy, while neglecting the complex dependencies between network performance, security, and MAC layer efficiency. This paper introduces a novel hardware software co design framework for secure and adaptive UAV swarm communications, featuring an energy aware protocol stack. …

Spin Hall effect in the high-resistivity high-entropy alloy AlCrMoW
We study thin films of the high-entropy alloy system Al$_{x}$(CrMoW)$_{1-x}$, grown on Ta seed layers by magnetron co-sputtering. Between $x=0.2$ and $x=0.6$, a resistivity larger than 100$μΩ$cm is achieved, with a peak of 180$μΩ$cm at $x=0.5$. Around the stoichiometric composition AlCrMoW, the alloy forms a bcc solid solution. The harmonic Hall method was used to characterize the spin Hall angle of the alloy series, where a maximum spin Hall angle of $θ= -0.12 \pm 0.01$ is observed for $x…
