Greenland is shrinking slightly and drifting slowly toward the northwest, GNSS stations reveal
Greenland is being twisted, compressed, and stretched. This happens due to plate tectonics and movements in the bedrock, caused by the large ice sheets on top melting and reducing pressure on the subsurface.

Enhancing Long Chain-of-Thought Reasoning through Multi-Path Plan Aggregation
Inference-time scaling enhances the reasoning ability of a language model (LM) by extending its chain-of-thought (CoT). However, existing approaches typically generate the entire reasoning chain in a single forward pass, which often leads to CoT derailment, i.e., the reasoning trajectory drifting off course due to compounding errors. This problem is particularly severe for smaller LMs with long CoTs due to their limited capacity. To address this, we analyze raw long CoTs and uncover a reasoning…

Eye Movement Feature-Guided Signal De-Drifting in Electrooculography Systems
Electrooculography (EOG) is widely used for gaze tracking in Human-Robot Collaboration (HRC). However, baseline drift caused by low-frequency noise significantly impacts the accuracy of EOG signals, creating challenges for further sensor fusion. This paper presents an Eye Movement Feature-Guided De-drift (FGD) method for mitigating drift artifacts in EOG signals. The proposed approach leverages active eye-movement feature recognition to reconstruct the feature-extracted EOG baseline and adaptiv…

The Thousand-Pulsar-Array programme on MeerKAT -- XVIII. Complex sub-pulse modulation patterns, bi-drifting and mode changing of nine radio pulsars
We present a detailed analysis of sub-pulse modulations in nine pulsars which show evidence of changes in sub-pulse drift direction as a function of pulse longitude in the Thousand Pulsar Array single pulse survey with MeerKAT. We confirm that all of these are consistent with persistent drift direction changes. These 'bi-drifting' pulsars present a challenge to the classical carousel model for sub-pulse drifting. In general, bi-drifting in this expanded sample is less clear than some of the pre…

Learning to Drift with Individual Wheel Drive: Maneuvering Autonomous Vehicle at the Handling Limits
Drifting, characterized by controlled vehicle motion at high sideslip angles, is crucial for safely handling emergency scenarios at the friction limits. While recent reinforcement learning approaches show promise for drifting control, they struggle with the significant simulation-to-reality gap, as policies that perform well in simulation often fail when transferred to physical systems. In this paper, we present a reinforcement learning framework with GPU-accelerated parallel simulation and sys…

Europe faces a dual challenge. On the one hand, the United States is drifting toward a more authoritarian—perhaps even fascist—political orientation, while at the same time adopting a stance more favorable toward Russia than toward Europe. On the other hand, both the US and Europe are confronted with China as a major geopolitical competitor and adversary. This complex situation demands careful diplomacy and strategic maneuvering. Difficult times ahead.

Fragmentation-limited dust filtration in 2D simulations of planet-disk systems with dust coagulation. Parameter study and implications for the inner disk's dust mass budget and composition
Super-thermal gas giant planets or their progenitor cores are known to open deep gaps in protoplanetary disks, which stop large, drifting dust particles on their way to the inner disk. The possible separation of the disk into distinct reservoirs and the resulting dust depletion interior to the gap have important implications for planetesimal formation and the chemical and isotopic composition of the inner regions of protoplanetary disks. Dust fragmentation, however, maintains a reservoir of sma…

Characterizing the Nature of Periodic Amplitude Modulation in Pulsars
In recent years periodic amplitude modulation has emerged as a unique emission feature in the single pulse sequence of pulsars alongside periodic nulling and subpulse drifting. Despite ample evidence for the uniqueness of this phenomenon, the periodic modulation in several pulsars are often confused with subpulse drifting, primarily due to lack of clear characterisation of the emission features from a representative sample of pulsars. In this work we present a detailed analysis of the single pu…

Self-similar kinetics for gravitational Bose-Einstein condensation
We study an overpopulated gas of gravitationally interacting bosons surrounding a droplet of Bose-Einstein condensate - Bose star. We argue that kinetic evolution of this gas approaches with time a self-similar attractor solution to the kinetic equation. If the scale symmetry of the equation is broken by external conditions, the attractor solution exists, remains approximately self-similar, but has slowly drifting scaling dimension. The latter new regime of adiabatic self-similarity can determi…

Characteristics of anomalous deterministic transport in steady plane viscous flows
We consider transport of passive particles in steady laminar plane flows of incompressible viscous fluids. While drifting along the streamlines, the particles experience alternating accelerations and slowdowns. For an ensemble of particles, recurring slow passages across the vicinities of stagnation points affect the transport and result in the unbounded growth of the ensemble variance. This growth is logarithmic in case of generic stagnation points and has a power-law character in the presence…

Polarization at millimeter wavelengths caused by drifting grains in protoplanetary disks
During the evolution of protoplanetary disks, dust grains start to grow, form larger particles, settle to the midplane, and rearrange the disk, mainly by the inward radial drift. Because of this, dust pebbles with an irregular shape usually align mechanically and thus cause polarization signatures in their thermal radiation due to dichroic emission or absorption. The goal of this paper is to evaluate the potential to trace the impact of mechanical grain alignment in protoplanetary disks on the …

We present Effelsberg 100-m telescope observations of the hyperactive repeating fast radio burst source FRB 20240110A, discovered by CHIME/FRB in January 2024. Using the Ultra BroadBand (UBB) receiver, spanning 1.3-6.0 GHz, we detected over 700 unique bursts across four observing epochs. A comprehensive analysis of their temporal and spectral properties reveals four distinct spectro-temporal morphologies, including simple, complex and frequency-drifting structures.

Mixture of Contexts for Long Video Generation
Long video generation is fundamentally a long context memory problem: models must retain and retrieve salient events across a long range without collapsing or drifting. However, scaling diffusion transformers to generate long-context videos is fundamentally limited by the quadratic cost of self-attention, which makes memory and computation intractable and difficult to optimize for long sequences. We recast long-context video generation as an internal information retrieval task and propose a sim…

Understanding JWST water spectra: what can thermochemical models tell us about the (cold) water in protoplanetary disks?
(Abridged) Rotational H$_2$O spectra as observed with JWST/MIRI provide a good probe of the temperature and column density structure of the inner disk. H$_2$O emission can also be influenced by dynamical processes, such as dust grains drifting inwards and their icy mantles sublimating once they cross the snowlines, thus enriching the inner regions in H$_2$O vapor. Recent work has found that this process may leave an imprint in the H$_2$O spectrum in the form of excess flux in the cold H$_2$O li…

Eigenfunction asymptotics in the complex domain for a compact Lie group
Let $(G,κ)$ be a compact connected Lie group endowed with a biinvariant Riemannian metric, and let $\tilde{G}$ be the complexification of $G$. We apply Grauert tube techniques to the near-diagonal scaling asymptotics of certain operator kernels, which are defined in terms of the matrix elements of an irreducuble representation drifting to infinity along a ray in weight space. These kernels are the equivariant components of Poisson and Szegő kernels on a fixed sphere bundle in $\tilde{G}$, whe…

"Look again at this small world. This is home. The only home we’ve ever known.
Every person who has ever lived. Every story ever told. Every love, every war, every sacrifice – it has all happened here on this tiny, drifting world.
And yet, we act as if there is another waiting for us. We carve borders into the land and fight over them. We build towers of wealth while others are left to starve.
We poison the water we drink, scorch the air we breathe and tear apart the very foundation of life, driven by the hunger for more, by the illusion of control.
We hold power over each other but not over the forces that could erase us in an instant. A rock adrift in space could end it all. A wave of fire from deep within the earth could rewrite the world in a single eruption. A burst of radiation from a distant sun could silence everything we’ve built.
In the face of the universe we are fragile beyond measure. Mere passengers on a planet that owes us nothing. And yet, we fight, we kill, we burn our home as if it were replaceable.
We act as though our time here is infinite. Though history has shown us otherwise. But for now this is all we have. Out there among the countless stars, there may be other worlds. Planets where life has taken root. Where others look up and wonder if they too are alone. But they are distant beyond our reach, beyond our time.
For the foreseeable future there is no second earth, no distant rescue. This is where we stand. This is where we make our living. What happens here, what we choose to destroy, what we choose to protect will echo long after we’re gone.
Think again how small we are. how brief our time is, how easily we could vanish. A fraction of a second in the lifespan of the universe, a blink in the endless dark. And yet in this fleeting moment we are here.
We love, we create, we shape the world around us. What we do with our time matters. Because in the end everything we leave behind is what we chose to built and who we chose to be. But for now we stand together on a mote of dust."

On the formation of multiple dust-trapping rings in the inner Solar system
Isotopic properties of meteorites provide evidence that multiple dust trap or pressure bumps had to form and persist in the inner Solar System on a timescale of millions of years. The formation of a pressure bump at the outer edge of the gap opened by Jupiter blocks particles drifting from the outer to the inner disk. This is not enough to preserve dust in the inner disk. However, in low viscosity disks, under specific condition on the gas cooling time, massive planets can also open secondary g…
