Political polar opposites may be more alike than they think
The brains of politically extreme individuals, whether left- or right-leaning, appear to respond to and process political information in surprisingly similar ways, according to research published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. The paper is titled "Politically extreme individuals exhibit similar neural processing despite ideological differences."

Polar bears may be ‘rewriting’ their own DNA to adapt to climate
Polar bears face “total extinction” by the end of this century, but scientists have found a small beacon of “hope”.

Polar Filaments Capture High Latitude Solar Poloidal Field Interactions and can Foretell the Future Sunspot Cycle Amplitude before Polar Field Precursors
Polar fields at the minimum of a sunspot cycle -- which are a manifestation of the radial component of the Sun's poloidal field -- are deemed to be the best indicator of the strength of the toroidal component, and hence the amplitude of the future sunspot cycle. However, the Sun's polar magnetic fields are difficult to constrain with ground-based or space-based observations from near the plane-of-ecliptic. In this context, polar filaments -- dark, elongated structures that overlie polarity inve…

The polar debris disc around 99 Herculis: A potential signpost for polar circumbinary planets
The nearby binary star system 99 Herculis (99 Her) is host to the only known polar-aligned circumbinary debris disc. We investigate the hypothesis that the narrow structure of this circumbinary disc is sculpted by the gravitational influence of one or more unseen polar circumbinary planets. We first establish the theoretically viable parameter space for a sculpting planet by considering dynamical stability and clearing mechanisms, including the chaotic zone, Hill radius, diffusion, and polar al…

Serial Polar Automorphism Ensemble Decoders for Physical Unclonable Functions
Physical unclonable functions (PUFs) involve challenging practical applications of error-correcting codes (ECCs), requiring extremely low failure rates on the order of $10^{-6}$ and below despite raw input bit error rates as high as 22%. These requirements call for an efficient ultra-low rate code design. In this work, we propose a novel coding scheme tailored for PUFs based on Polar codes and a low-complexity version of automorphism ensemble decoding (AED). Notably, our serial AED scheme reuse…

Mechanical coupling of polar topologies and oxygen octahedra rotations in PbTiO$_3$/SrTiO$_3$ superlattices

The dual foliation of polar actions on nonnegatively curved manifolds
We prove that any dual leaf $L^{\#}$ of a simply connected, complete nonnegatively curved polar manifold $M$ is totally geodesic and closed in $M$, and $L^{\#}$ is itself a complete nonnegatively curved polar manifold. Furthermore, the dual foliation on $M$ induces a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibers from $M$ to a homogeneous space.

Disorder to Order Transition in 1D Nonreciprocal Cahn-Hilliard Model
We extensively study the phenomenology of one dimensional Nonreciprocal Cahn Hilliard model for varying nonreciprocity $(α)$ and different boundary conditions. At small $α$, a perturbed uniform state evolves to a defect laden configuration that lacks global polar order. Defects are the sources and sinks of travelling waves and nonreciprocity selects defects with a unique wave number that increases monotonically with $α_c$. A critical threshold $α_c$ marks the onset of a transition to states…

Radio emission from beyond the light cylinder in millisecond pulsars
A striking aspect of the radio profiles of many millisecond pulsars (MSPs) is that they consist of components separated from each other by regions lacking in emission.

We surmise that the pulsars with these disjoint components show evidence for both emission above the polar cap and from the current sheet beyond the …

$(m, ψ, δ)-$capacity and its properties
In this paper, we introduce the concept of the generalized $(m, ψ, δ)-$capacity in the complex space $\mathbb{C}^n$, within the class of $m-$subharmonic functions. We give a relation between $(m, ψ, δ)-$capacity and $(m, ψ, δ)-$subharmonic measure. Moreover, we prove that the capacity vanishes on $m-$polar sets and vice versa.

Non-Newtonian viscous fluid models with learned rheology accurately reproduce Lagrangian sea ice simulations
Polar sea ice is crucial to Earth's climate system. Its dynamics also affect coastal communities, wildlife, and global shipping. Sea ice is typically modeled as a continuum fluid using a model proposed almost 50 years, which is moderately accurate for packed ice, but loses its predictive accuracy outside of the central ice pack. Discrete element methods (DEMs) offer an alternative by resolving the behavior of individual ice floes, including collisions, frictional contact, fracture, and ridging.…

Turbulent Dynamics in Active Solids
We investigate numerically the polar ordering dynamics in the active elastic solid model (AES) and find classic signatures of turbulent dynamics: power-law scaling for the energy spectrum and non-Gaussian statistics of velocity increments. However, there is no energy cascade, in line with previous findings for active turbulence in fluids. The results extend the concept of active turbulence to solid systems and are expected to be important for understanding active biological solids, such as bact…

Role of sunspot latitude versus tilt in determining the polar field and amplitude of the next cycle: Cause of the weak Solar Cycle 20
One prominent feature of solar cycle is its irregular variation in its cycle strength, making it challenging to predict the amplitude of the next cycle. Studies show that fluctuations and nonlinearity in generating poloidal field throughout the decay and dispersal of tilted sunspots produce variation in the solar cycle. The flux, latitudinal position, and tilt angle of sunspots are the primary parameters that determine the polar field and, thus, the next solar cycle strength. By analysing the o…

A Multidimensional Self-Adaptive Numerical Simulation Framework for Semiconductor Boltzmann Transport Equation
This research addresses the numerical simulation of the Boltzmann transport equation for semiconductor devices by proposing a multidimensional self-adaptive numerical simulation framework. This framework is applied to two important generalized forms of the equation: a parabolic equation with singular properties on the unit disk and a continuity equation. The study enhances the alignment of numerical simulations with physical characteristics through polar coordinate transformation and variable d…

Strain-induced multiferroicity in Cr1/3NbS2
Multiferroic materials, in which electric polarization and magnetic order coexist and couple, offer rich opportunities for both fundamental discovery and technology. However, multiferroicity remains rare due to conflicting electronic requirements for ferroelectricity and magnetism. One route to circumvent this challenge is to exploit the noncollinear ordering of spin cycloids, whose symmetry permits the emergence of polar order. In this work, we introduce another pathway to multiferroic order i…

Effect of correlation on the elastic scattering of slow positrons from molecules
Many-body correlation plays a crucial role in the low-energy positron-molecule scattering dynamics. In the present work, we have integrated a recent model correlation potential, developed by Swann and Gribakin, with the single-center expansion method and verified its efficacy in reproducing the best of ab initio and experimental results, for both non-polar and polar molecules. Starting with the already tested molecules-hydrogen, ethylene, and acetylene with the model correlation, we extended ou…

Cumulative proton production in $pd$ collisions
The model of backward proton production in the exclusive reaction $pd \to ppn$ at proton beam momenta up to several GeV/c is constructed on the basis of Feynman diagrams for one- and two-step amplitudes. The latter include nucleon and $Δ(1232)$ resonance intermediate scattering states with propagators reduced to eikonal form using the generalized eikonal approximation. The model calculations are compared with available experimental data on the energy spectra of protons at backward polar angles…

Nanoscale Polar Landscapes in Quantum Paraelectric SrTiO3
SrTiO3 is a textbook quantum paraelectric, with ferroelectricity purportedly suppressed by quantum fluctuations of ionic positions down to the lowest temperatures. The precise real space structure of SrTiO3 at low temperature, however, has remained undefined despite decades of study. Here we directly image the low-temperature polar structure of quantum parelectric SrTiO3, using cryogenic scanning transmission electron microscopy down to 20 K. High resolution imaging reveals a spatially fluctuat…

Learning Microswimmer Collision Dynamics and Predicting Diffusivities using a Neural-Network-Assisted Boltzmann Approach
We present a neural-network--assisted Boltzmann framework that learns the binary-collision map of microswimmers from data and uses it to evaluate collision integrals efficiently. Using a representative model swimmer, the learned map provides quantitative predictions for rotational and translational diffusivities and allows a linear-stability analysis of the isotropic state against polar ordering in dilute suspensions. The resulting predictions closely match direct simulations in the dilute regi…

A self-consistent numerical model of internal wave-induced mean flow oscillations in polar geometry
The Earth's Quasi-Biennial Oscillation (QBO) is a natural example of wave-mean flow interaction and corresponds to the alternating directions of winds in the equatorial stratosphere. It is due to internal gravity waves (IGW) generated in the underlying convective troposphere. In stars, a similar situation is predicted to occur, with the interaction of a stably-stratified radiative zone and a convective zone. In this context, we investigate the dynamics of this reversing mean flow by modelling a…

Exploring molecular supersolidity via exact and mean-field theories: single microwave shielding
Ultracold polar molecules with microwave shielding provide a powerful platform for exploring quantum many-body physics with strong, anisotropic interactions. We develop an extended Gross-Pitaevskii framework for bosonic molecules under single microwave shielding, incorporating effective interactions and quantum fluctuations, and benchmark it against exact Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. In the regime of positive scattering lengths, our approach captures superfluid, supersolid, and droplet phas…

Improved reconstruction of the century-long solar magnetic field by incorporating morphological asymmetry in sunspots
Accurately modeling the solar magnetic field is important for understanding long-term solar activity and space weather, but it is challenging due to limited observations, especially near the poles. The Surface Flux Transport (SFT) model simulates how magnetic flux moves across the solar surface and contributes to the polar field, but it parametrizes emerged sunspots as simple symmetric bipolar regions and needs improvement by including more realistic sunspot features. In this study, we reconstr…

Sliding multiferroicity in hexagonal stacked CrI3
Developing new multiferroics at the two-dimensional (2D) limit with energy-efficient magnetoelectric coupling can inform the interplay physics of novel orders and advance on-chip high-performance computing applications. Here we apply stacking order engineering to create a new type of 2D multiferroics, namely sliding multiferroics, based on polar hexagonal stacked (H-stacked) CrI3. This new stacking order removes structural inversion symmetry and gives rise to room temperature sliding ferroelect…

Dynamical Pathways to the Misalignment of the VHS 1256-1257 System
Circumbinary planets (CBPs) provide a unique window into planet formation and dynamical evolution in complex gravitational environments. Their orbits are shaped not only by the protoplanetary disk but also by the perturbations from two stellar hosts, making them sensitive probes of both early- and late-stage dynamical processes. In this work, we investigate the unusual architecture of the VHS J125601.92-125723.9 system, where a retrograde, nearly polar tertiary orbits an extremely low-mass subs…
