It's always a good day when you have "always comb foo = bar" and using foo instead of bar changes the run time of your simulation by almost 100K clock cycles.
I have to assume this is a Vivado simulator bug present in both 2024.1 and 2025.1, but don't yet have a fully reduced test case other than an always_ff block somehow having input and output changing on the same clock edge.

Perfect Clustering in Very Sparse Diverse Multiplex Networks
The paper studies the DIverse MultiPLEx Signed Generalized Random Dot Product Graph (DIMPLE-SGRDPG) network model (Pensky (2024)), where all layers of the network have the same collection of nodes. In addition, all layers can be partitioned into groups such that the layers in the same group are embedded in the same ambient subspace but otherwise matrices of connection probabilities can be all different. This setting includes majority of multilayer network models as its particular cases. The key…

Dynamics of Subsurface Flows in Solar Active Regions During the May 2024 Storm
In May 2024, the Sun exhibited intense magnetic activity, marked by numerous high-intensity flares resulting from the interaction and merging of NOAA ARs 13664 and 13668 in the southern hemisphere and AR 13663 in the northern hemisphere. Notably, AR 13664 displayed an extended lifetime, remaining visible after a full solar rotation and continuing to produce significant flaring activity. In this study, we investigate the evolution of sub-photospheric plasma flows associated with these ARs during…

Search for the Higgs boson decay to a $Z$ boson and a photon in $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV and $13.6$ TeV with the ATLAS detector
A search for the Higgs boson decay to a $Z$ boson and a photon in the $\ell\ellγ$ ($\ell = e, μ$) final state is performed using $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}=13.6$ TeV recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider during 2022-2024, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 165 fb$^{-1}$. The signal yield, normalised to the Standard Model prediction, is measured to be $μ=0.9^{+0.7}_{-0.6}$, compared to an expected value of $μ=1.0\pm0.7$. This corresponds to an observed (ex…

The May 2024 geomagnetic storm was one of the most severe in the past twenty years. Understanding how large geomagnetic disturbances (GMDs) impact geomagnetically induced currents (GICs) within power grid networks is key to ensuring their resilience. We have assembled and synthesized a large and diverse set of GMD-related data, compared model predictions with measurements, and identified empirical relationships for GICs in the contiguous United States for this storm. Measurement data include …
