The HR 8799 Debris Disc: Shaped by Planetary Migration and a Possible Fifth Outermost Planet
Context. The HR 8799 system, hosting four giant planets between a warm and cold debris disc, and an extended dusty tail beyond, serves as an ideal laboratory for studying planetary formation and evolution. The debris discs have been observed across various wavelengths, and the planetary properties are well-constrained. Nonetheless, there are still open questions regarding the role of the planets in shaping the debris discs. Aims. We investigate the system's evolution with the aim of understan…

Quantum smell: tunneling mechanisms in olfaction
The mechanism by which odorants are recognized by olfactory receptors remains primarily unresolved. While charge transport is believed to play a significant role, its precise nature is still unclear. Here, we present a novel perspective by exploring the interplay between the intrinsic energy scales of odorant molecules and the gap states that facilitate intermolecular charge transport. We find that odorants act as weak tunneling conductors mainly because of the limited magnitude of electronic c…

HBO Is Shutting Down Multiple Channels Including HBO Family & More | Cord Cutters News
In a significant shakeup for the television industry, HBO, a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery, has confirmed plans to shut down several of its linear channels, including HBO Family, ThrillerMax, MovieMax, and OuterMax. The announcement, verified by Spectrum on August 15, 2025, marks a strategic pivot for the premium network as it continues to adapt […]

Heavy-element damage seeding in proteins under XFEL illumination
Serial femtosecond X-ray crystallography (SFX) captures the structure and dynamics of biological macromolecules at high spatial and temporal resolutions. The ultrashort pulse produced by an X-ray free electron laser (XFEL) 'outruns' much of the radiation damage that impairs conventional crystallography. However, the rapid onset of 'electronic damage' due to ionization limits this benefit. Here, we distinguish the influence of different atomic species on the ionization of protein crystals by emp…

Muon identification with Deep Neural Network in the Belle II K-Long and Muon detector
Muon identification is crucial for elementary particle physics experiments. At the Belle II experiment, muons and pions with momenta greater than 0.7 GeV/c are distinguished by their penetration ability through the $K_L$ and Muon (KLM) sub-detector, which is the outermost sub-detector of Belle II. In this paper, we first discuss the possible room for $μ/π$ identification performance improvement and then present a new method based on Deep Neural Network (DNN). This DNN model utilizes the KLM h…

Procedural Knowledge Libraries: Towards Executable (Research) Memory
Procedural Knowledge Libraries (PKLs) are frameworks for capturing the full arc of scientific inquiry, not just its outcomes. Whereas traditional libraries store static end products, PKLs preserve the process that leads to those results, including hypotheses, failures, decisions, and iterations. By addressing the loss of tacit knowledge -- typically buried in notebooks, emails, or memory -- PKLs lay a foundation for reproducible, collaborative, and adaptive research. PKLs provide executable, ve…

Open clusters in the outer disc studied with MEGARA@GTC Auner 1 and Berkeley 102
Open clusters offer crucial insights into stellar nucleosynthesis and the chemical evolution of the Galactic disc, as their ages and distances can be determined with higher accuracy compared to field stars. In this study, we investigate the outermost regions of the Milky Way disc using two previously unstudied open clusters -Auner 1 and Berkeley 102- located at Galactocentric distances of approximately 14 kpc in largely uncharted areas of the Galaxy. We obtained medium-resolution spectra (R > 1…
