Transparency rügt ukrainisches Antikorruptionsgesetz
Die Organisation Transparency International hat das neue Gesetz zur Kontrolle von Anti-Korruptionsbehörden in der Ukraine gerügt. Der ukrainische Zweig der Organisation teilte mit, die Entscheidung untergrabe eine der wichtigsten Reformen seit der sogenannten Revolution der Würde in der Ukraine im Jahr 2014. Das Gesetz beschädige das Vertrauen der internationalen Partner. T…

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly of Atomistic Learning for "Clusters-to-Bulk" Generalization
Training machine learning interatomic potentials (MLIPs) on total energies of molecular clusters using differential or transfer learning is becoming a popular route to extend the accuracy of correlated wave-function theory to condensed phases. A key challenge, however, lies in validation, as reference observables in finite-temperature ensembles are not available at the reference level. Here, we construct synthetic reference data from pretrained MLIPs and evaluate the generalizability of cluster…

The Weyl Geometric Gravity black hole in light of the Solar System tests
The Weyl geometric gravity theory, in which the gravitational action is constructed from the square of the Weyl curvature scalar and the strength of the Weyl vector, has been intensively investigated recently. The theory admits a scalar-vector-tensor representation, obtained by introducing an auxiliary scalar field, and can therefore be reformulated as a scalar-vector-tensor theory in a Riemann space, in the presence of a nonminimal coupling between the Ricci scalar and the scalar field. By ass…

As we move into the darkest part of the year in the northern hemisphere, the #TuneTuesday theme this week is #BlackMagick: songs with references to the occult, dark powers, that old black magic. This tune, which describes an intolerable world while imagining a revolutionary response, fits the bill in my book …

Eig-PIELM: A Mesh-Free Approach for Efficient Eigen-Analysis with Physics-Informed Extreme Learning Machines
In this work, a novel Eig-PIELM framework is proposed that extends physics-informed extreme learning machine for an efficient and accurate solution of linear eigenvalue problems. The method reformulates the governing differential equations into a compact algebraic system solvable in a single step. Boundary conditions are enforced exactly via an algebraic projection onto the boundary-admissible subspace, eliminating the computational overhead of penalty parameters, and backpropagation while pres…
