Ferromagnetic Two-dimensional Electron Gases with Magnetic Doping and Proximity Effects
The advent of magnetic two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) at oxide interfaces has provided new opportunities in the field of spintronics. The enhancement of magnetism in 2DEGs at oxide interfaces continues to be a significant challenge, as exemplified by the relatively weak magnetism observed in the classical LaAlO3/SrTiO3 interface. Here, we present ferromagnetic (FM) 2DEGs at the interface fabricated between the FM insulator EuTiO3 (ETO) and the strong spin-orbit coupled (SOC) perovskite …

Influential scientists shape knowledge flows between science and IGO policy
Intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) increasingly rely on scientific evidence, yet the pathways through which scientific research enters policy remain opaque. By linking 230,737 scientific papers cited in IGO policy documents (2015-2023) to their authors and collaboration networks, we identify a small group of policy-influential scientists (PI-Sci) who dominate this knowledge flow. These scientists form tightly interconnected, internationally spanning co-authorship networks and achieve policy…

Circumbinary disc interactions and stochastic dust obscuration in the post-asymptotic-giant-branch binary HD 213985
HD 213985 is an eccentric binary system with a post-AGB primary and a jet-launching secondary star. We confirm that the system photometric variability is likely due to obscuration by the inner edge of a circumbinary disc, similar to RVb-type RV Tau stars. The system has shown an increase in the orbital variability amplitude in optical photometric bands, along with irregular changes in its shape that often started to appear skewed. Variability in the Na D lines suggests that this behaviour may b…

LinGuinE: Longitudinal Guidance Estimation for Volumetric Lung Tumour Segmentation
Segmentation of lung gross tumour volumes is an important first step in radiotherapy and surgical intervention, and is starting to play a role in assessing chemotherapy response. Response to a drug is measured by tracking the tumour volumes over a series of CT scans over a time period i.e. a longitudinal study. However, there currently exist few solutions for automated or semi-automated longitudinal tumour segmentation. This paper introduces LinGuinE, an automated method to segment a longitudin…

To collapse or not to collapse: Halo evolution with self-interacting dark matter mass segregation
Surprisingly compact substructures in galaxies and galaxy clusters, but also field halos, have been observed by gravitational lensing. They could be difficult to explain with collisionless dark matter (DM). To explain those objects, recent studies focused on the gravothermal collapse that halos consisting of self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) can undergo. However, simple models of elastic scattering could face problems explaining those compact objects during very later stages of the collapse a…

Quantum Kinetic Uncertainty Relations in Mesoscopic Conductors at Strong Coupling
Kinetic Uncertainty Relations (KURs) establish quantum transport precision limits by linking signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) to the system's dynamical activity, valid in the weak-coupling regime where particle-like transport dominates. At strong coupling, quantum coherence challenges the validity of KURs and questions the meaning of the concept of activity itself. Here, we introduce a generalized dynamical activity valid at arbitrary coupling and derive a steady-state quantum KUR (QKUR) expressed i…

Blue Stragglers prefer peaceful environments because binaries do the same
Blue straggler stars (BSSs) are core hydrogen-burning stars routinely observed in resolved stellar systems. According to the theory of single star evolution they should not exist because, due to their large mass, they should have already evolved to stellar remnants. Hence, they are suspected to be the result of mass-enhancement processes, like mass-transfer activity in binary systems, mergers in binary or higher order systems, or direct stellar collisions, possibly mediated by dynamical interac…

Non-Separable Halo Bias from High-Redshift Galaxy Clustering
The halo model provides a powerful framework for interpreting galaxy clustering by linking the spatial distribution of dark matter haloes to the underlying matter distribution. A key assumption within the linear bias approximation of the halo model is that the halo bias between two halo populations is a separable function of the mass of each population. In this work, we test the validity of the separable bias approximation on quasi-linear scales using both simulations and observational data. Un…

Resolving the S8 tension with the Lambda Prime ($Λ'$) model
The $S_8$ parameter, which quantifies the amplitude of matter fluctuations on scales of $8h^{-1}$ Mpc, has been a source of tension between weak lensing surveys (e.g. KiDS, DES, HSC) and the Planck Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) measurements. This discrepancy challenges the standard $Λ$CDM model and has become one of the most significant tensions in modern cosmology. The ${Λ'}$ model offers a potential resolution by introducing modifications to the cosmic growth history through alterations…
