Breaking Symmetries with Involutions
Symmetry breaking for graphs and other combinatorial objects is notoriously hard. On the one hand, complete symmetry breaks are exponential in size. On the other hand, current, state-of-the-art, partial symmetry breaks are often considered too weak to be of practical use. Recently, the concept of graph patterns has been introduced and provides a concise representation for (large) sets of non-canonical graphs, i.e.\ graphs that are not lex-leaders and can be excluded from search. In particular…

"The trick is knowing which tape to use, and young influencers on the social media platform are quick to enter into paid partnerships to sell the one brand of mouth tape you really need."

The Paper-Thin Evidence for Mouth Taping
TikTokers can’t shut up about this one simple trick. All you need to do is seal your mouth with tape before going to bed, and you will apparently collect a slew of benefits. It will give you more energy, chisel your jawline, and even improve the health of your heart in the long run. The trick is knowing which tape to use, and young influencers on the social media platform are quick to enter into paid partnerships to sell the one brand of mouth tape you really need. If you don’t trust “ran…

MARBLE: A Hard Benchmark for Multimodal Spatial Reasoning and Planning
The ability to process information from multiple modalities and to reason through it step-by-step remains a critical challenge in advancing artificial intelligence. However, existing reasoning benchmarks focus on text-only reasoning, or employ multimodal questions that can be answered by directly retrieving information from a non-text modality. Thus, complex reasoning remains poorly understood in multimodal domains. Here, we present MARBLE, a challenging multimodal reasoning benchmark that is d…

Weyl-Superconductivity revealed by Edge Mode mediated Nonlocal Transport
Topological superconductivity (TSC) hosts exotic modes enabling error-free quantum computation and low-temperature spintronics. Despite preliminary evidence of edge modes, unambiguous signatures remain undetected. Here, we report the first observation of protected, non-local transport from the edge modes of the potential Weyl-superconductor \ch{FeTe_{0.55}Se_{0.45}}. Namely resonant charge injection, ballistic transport, and extraction via edge modes. An anomalous conductance plateau emerges on…

Dangerous Questions in Astronomy Education
As astronomy enters an era defined by global telescope networks, petabyte-scale surveys, and powerful computational tools, the longstanding goals of astronomy education, particularly introductory ``ASTRO101'', but equally encompassing both higher and lower level courses, warrant fresh examination. In June 2024, the AstroEdUNC meeting at UNC--Chapel Hill convened 100 astronomers, education researchers, and practitioners to synthesise community perspectives on the purpose, content, and delivery o…

High Resolution Isotropic 3D Cine imaging with Automated Segmentation using Concatenated 2D Real-time Imaging and Deep Learning
Background: Conventional cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) in paediatric and congenital heart disease uses 2D, breath-hold, balanced steady state free precession (bSSFP) cine imaging for assessment of function and cardiac-gated, respiratory-navigated, static 3D bSSFP whole-heart imaging for anatomical assessment. Our aim is to concatenate a stack 2D free-breathing real-time cines and use Deep Learning (DL) to create an isotropic a fully segmented 3D cine dataset from these images. Methods…
