Leveraging Complementary Attention maps in vision transformers for OCT image analysis
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) scan yields all possible cross-section images of a retina for detecting biomarkers linked to optical defects. Due to the high volume of data generated, an automated and reliable biomarker detection pipeline is necessary as a primary screening stage. We outline our new state-of-the-art pipeline for identifying biomarkers from OCT scans. In collaboration with trained ophthalmologists, we identify local and global structures in biomarkers. Through a comprehensi…

NbTiN Nanowire Resonators for Spin-Photon Coupling on Solid Neon
Electrons floating on a solid neon exhibit long charge coherence times, making them attractive for hybrid quantum systems. When combined with high-quality, high-impedance superconducting resonators and a local magnetic field gradient, this platform enables strong charge-photon and spin-charge coupling -- key ingredients for scalable spin qubit architectures. In this work, we fabricated NbTiN superconducting nanowire resonators and measured internal quality factors around $10^5$. We successfully…

If the founders of the USA didn't think it should be effectively legal to bribe the president, they wouldn't have given the president the power to pardon crimes.

I'm baffled that this guy is a respected analyst. Yeah, an infinite number of AI agents will spend their money on content from human creators, making those humans infinitely rich. I see no flaws in this model.

The leadership of the Unites States has made clear that they will imprison and deport lawful residents who publicly disagree with the government.
This man lives in the US legally, is married to a US citizen who is carrying his child, and is set to be deported because in exercising his free speech rights he said something the government didn’t like.
The emergency is now.

ICE arrests Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil
A prominent Palestinian activist who helped lead last spring's protests at Columbia University has been arrested by federal immigration agents. Mahmoud Khalil's lawyer says he was arrested at his apartment near the university by agents who claimed they were acting on a State Department order to revoke his green card. Khalil, who graduated in December, was taken into custody by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and was being held at an immigration detention center in New Jersey. His wif…

The Role of Connection Density in an Adaptive Network with Chaotic Units
We investigate the role of connection density in an adaptive network model of chaotic units that dynamically rewire based on their internal states and local coherence. By systematically varying the network's connectivity density, we uncover distinct dynamical regimes and structural transitions, revealing mechanisms of spontaneous modularity, dynamical segregation, and integration. We find that at higher densities, the network exhibits both local clustering and global synchrony. Additionally, we…
