Optically Overluminous Tidal Disruption Events: Outflow Properties and Implications for Extremely Relativistic Disruptions
Recent studies suggest that tidal disruption events (TDEs) with off-axis jets may manifest as optically overluminous events. To search for jet signatures at late times, we conducted radio observations of eight such optically overluminous ($M_{g, \rm peak} < -20.8$ mag) TDEs with the Very Large Array. We detect radio counterparts in four events. The observed radio luminosities ($L_{\rm 6 GHz} \sim 10^{38}$--$10^{39}$ erg s$^{-1}$) are two orders of magnitude lower than those of on-axis jetted TD…

Nonlinear Co-simulation for Designing Kinetic Inductance Parametric Amplifiers
Kinetic inductance parametric amplifiers (KIPAs) have been widely studied for small-signal detection in superconducting quantum circuits. In this work, we demonstrate the modeling of a niobium nitride nanowire based KIPA using electromagnetic (EM) and circuit co-simulation, and compare the outcomes with experimental results. EM analysis is first performed on the device layout, taking into account the linear part of the kinetic inductance. The results are then integrated into a harmonic balance …

Goede podcast, onder andere over inkomens- en vermogensongelijkheid. Heldere objectieve uitleg die je vaak mist bij politici.

High-current p-type transistors from precursor-engineered synthetic monolayer WSe$_2$
Monolayer tungsten diselenide (WSe$_2$) is a leading candidate for nanoscale complementary logic. However, high defect densities introduced during thin-film growth and device fabrication have limited p-type transistor performance. Here, we report a combined strategy of precursor-engineered chemical vapor deposition and damage-minimizing fabrication to overcome this limitation. By converting tungsten trioxide and residual oxyselenides into reactive suboxides before growth, and precisely regulati…

Hecke $L$-series for Sinha modules
We investigate Goss $L$-functions associated to Anderson $t$-modules defined by Sinha having complex multiplication by Carlitz cyclotomic fields. We show that these $t$-modules are defined over the cyclotomic field and that their $L$-functions are products of Hecke $L$-series for Anderson's Hecke character defined via Coleman functions. Applying identities of Fang and Taelman, we prove that special values of these $L$-functions are expressible in terms of products of values of Thakur's geometri…

Extreme Negative Polarisation of New Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
We present the first polarimetric observations of the third discovered interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS (C/2025 N1), obtained pre-perihelion with FORS2/VLT, ALFOSC/NOT, and FoReRo2/RCC, over a phase angle range of 7.7-22.4°. This marks the second ever polarimetric study of an interstellar object, the first distinguishing 2I/Borisov from most Solar System comets by its higher positive polarisation. Our polarimetric measurements as a function of phase angle reveal that 3I is characterised by an dee…

Skywork UniPic: Unified Autoregressive Modeling for Visual Understanding and Generation
We introduce Skywork UniPic, a 1.5 billion-parameter autoregressive model that unifies image understanding, text-to-image generation, and image editing within a single architecture-eliminating the need for task-specific adapters or inter-module connectors-and demonstrate that compact multimodal systems can achieve state-of-the-art performance on commodity hardware. Skywork UniPic achieves a GenEval score of 0.86, surpassing most existing unified models; sets a new DPG-Bench complex-generation r…
