Fairness in Token Delegation: Mitigating Voting Power Concentration in DAOs
Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) aim to enable participatory governance, but in practice face challenges of voter apathy, concentration of voting power, and misaligned delegation. Existing delegation mechanisms often reinforce visibility biases, where a small set of highly ranked delegates accumulate disproportionate influence regardless of their alignment with the broader community. In this paper, we conduct an empirical study of delegation in DAO governance, combining on-chain da…

Social Media Clones: Exploring the Impact of Social Delegation with AI Clones through a Design Workbook Study
Social media clones are AI-powered social delegates of ourselves created using our personal data. As our identities and online personas intertwine, these technologies have the potential to greatly enhance our social media experience. If mismanaged, however, these clones may also pose new risks to our social reputation and online relationships. To set the foundation for a productive and responsible integration, we set out to understand how social media clones will impact our online behavior and …

Proceedings of Dielectron production in pp and Pb-Pb collisions with ALICE in Run 3, Quark Matter 2025
The measurement of dielectron production is a fundamental piece of the puzzle in the understanding of the hot and dense matter produced in ultra-relativistic heavy-ion collisions. The dielectron spectrum provides information that penetrates the veil of final-state hadronic interactions and gives direct access to the early phases of the collision. However, the interpretation of the measured spectra relies on a precise understanding of all the contributing sources. The measurement of dielectron p…

A Cryogenic Dielectric Antenna for Wireless Sensing and Interfacing Outside the 10 K Environment
The performance and scalability of cryogenic microwave systems, particularly for quantum processors, are fundamentally limited by the thermal stability and loss of their constituent dielectric materials. While mixed titanate ceramics like MgTiO3-CaTiO3 (MCT) and (Zr,Sn)TiO4 (ZST) are primary candidates, their comparative performance as radiative antennas in the deep-cryogenic regime has remained uncharacterized. Here we present a side-by-side comparison of MCT and ZST operated as dielectric res…

SMF Coupled Compact Ground Terminal with Advanced Filtering Towards Daylight C Band Satellite QKD
We demonstrate a compact, high-isolation C-band optical ground terminal for satellite QKD, achieving more than 120 dB daylight background suppression and 135 dB crosstalk noise isolation. Successful QKD over an outdoor 100m FSO validate its feasibility for integration of satellite-QKD with urban fiber segments.

Circular Dichroism without absorption in isolated chiral dielectric Mie particles
We demonstrate that an effect phenomenologically analogous to circular dichroism can arise even for dielectric and isotropic chiral spherical particles. By analyzing the polarimetry of light scattered from a chiral, lossless microsphere illuminated with linearly polarized light, we show that the scattered light becomes nearly circularly polarized, exhibiting large, nonresonant values of the Stokes parameter $S_3$ for a broad range of visible frequencies. This phenomenon occurs only in the Mie r…
