Collinear, incommensurate antiferromagnetism in van der Waals magnet alpha-UTe3
alpha-UTe3, a van der Waals (vdW) actinide compound with a monoclinic ZrSe3-type structure, is a narrow-gap semiconductor with 5f moments. 125Te NMR reveals strongly anisotropic, layer-confined spin fluctuations below about 20 K, with the a-axis component enhanced, and a signal wipeout at the antiferromagnetic (AFM) transition at TN = 5 K. Single-crystal neutron diffraction finds q approx. (0.17, 0.5, 0) and a longitudinal sinusoidal modulation of a-axis moments (amplitude about 0.8 muB) with A…

Fair Kernel-Lock-Free Claim/Release Protocol for Shared Object Access in Cooperatively Scheduled Runtimes
We present the first spin-free, kernel-lock-free mutex that cooperates with user-mode schedulers and is formally proven FIFO-fair and linearizable using CSP/FDR. Our fairness oracle and stability-based proof method are reusable across coroutine runtime designs. We designed the claim/release protocol for a process-oriented language -- ProcessJ -- to manage the race for claiming shared inter-process communication channels. Internally, we use a lock-free queue to park waiting processes for gaining…

Cleaner, cooler and cheaper: Upgraded catalyst system achieves low-temperature oxidation
What if chemical manufacturers could cut their energy costs while eliminating toxic heavy metals from their processes? Researchers at Nagoya University have developed a catalyst system that does exactly that by converting alcohols to valuable chemical products at lower temperature using safer iodine compounds instead of dangerous heavy metals, expensive precious metals, and reagents.

Integrated subtraction terms and finite remainders for arbitrary processes with massless partons at colliders in the nested soft-collinear subtraction scheme
We present integrated subtraction terms and finite remainders for arbitrary processes with massless partons at hadron and lepton colliders in the context of the nested soft-collinear subtraction scheme. These results provide the very last ingredients needed to make this scheme a fully local, analytic and process-independent framework for treating infrared singularities at next-to-next-to-leading order in perturbative QCD. The explicit infrared finiteness of all required contributions, as well a…

Deterministic Switching in Altermagnets via Asymmetric Sublattice Spin Current
We demonstrate a deterministic switching mechanism in collinear altermagnets driven by asymmetric sublattice spin currents. Unlike conventional antiferromagnets, where combined parity-time-reversal symmetry enforces purely staggered sublattice spin torques, altermagnets host symmetry-protected nonrelativistic spin splitting that produces unequal torques on the two sublattices. Using doped FeSb$_2$ as a representative $d$-wave altermagnet, our Landau--Lifshitz--Gilbert simulations show that thes…

Starting today, the Swiss Post sells a special stamp to commemorate the granting of the patent for the toilet cleaner with the special duck design 45 years ago to Swiss inventor Walter Düring-Orlob.
And yes, it smells like the citrus version of the cleaner.
