DriveSimQuest: A VR Driving Simulator and Research Platform on Meta Quest with Unity
Using head-mounted Virtual Reality (VR) displays to simulate driving is critical to studying driving behavior and designing driver assistance systems. But existing VR driving simulators are often limited to tracking only eye movements. The bulky outside-in tracking setup and Unreal-based architecture also present significant engineering challenges for interaction researchers and practitioners. We present DriveSimQuest, a VR driving simulator and research platform built on the Meta Quest Pro and…

Quest for particles production in the plane gravitational wave spacetime
Massless vector and scalar Green's functions are obtained in closed form for a plane gravitational wave spacetime using three independent methods: direct solution of the Green-function equation and construction via the DeWitt and Hadamard recursive schemes. The results coincide exactly with the DeWitt--Schwinger expansion, indicating no massless particles production in this background. Contrasting interpretations, based on Bogolyubov coefficient calculations predicting massless particle creatio…

Extensive Analysis of gamma-Ray Periodicity in Jetted AGN from the 4FGL Catalog Using Fermi-LAT Observations
The quest to uncover periodic patterns within the $γ$-ray emissions of jetted active galactic nuclei (AGN) has recently emerged as a focal point in astrophysics. One of the primary challenges has been the necessity for prolonged exposures in the $γ$-ray energy band. In our investigation, we leverage 12 years' worth of observations from the \textit{Fermi}-LAT to systematically explore periodicity across 1492 jetted AGN cataloged in 4FGL, representing the largest sample analyzed to date.

Neural correlates of perceptual consciousness from within: a narrative review of human intracranial research
Despite many years of research, the quest to identify neural correlates of perceptual consciousness (NCC) remains unresolved.

Additionally, the relatively low sensitivity of non-invasive neural measures limits the interpretation of null findings in studies targeting…

GyroSwin: 5D Surrogates for Gyrokinetic Plasma Turbulence Simulations
Nuclear fusion plays a pivotal role in the quest for reliable and sustainable energy production. A major roadblock to viable fusion power is understanding plasma turbulence, which significantly impairs plasma confinement, and is vital for next-generation reactor design. Plasma turbulence is governed by the nonlinear gyrokinetic equation, which evolves a 5D distribution function over time. Due to its high computational cost, reduced-order models are often employed in practice to approximate turb…

📈 Bioscience researchers shared data in 92% of articles that we manually evaluated from 2023. In the chart 👇 orange shading shows 45% of articles shared ALL the relevant data, up from 7% in 2014👏. Sharing varied by data type as expected, 🧬 vs. 🔬, among several other factors.
Thanks to BIH QUEST @ChariteBerlin for ODDPub, which gave a parallel, programmatic evaluation.

Local Fractional Calculus currently. A Mosaic of Definitions and the Quest for Unification
In this paper, we present an overview of the development of one of the most dynamic areas of mathematics today: local differential operators of non-integer order. The underlying question is whether we are witnessing a period of consolidation and are on the way to a general formulation of this fascinating topic.

The CHEOPS view of HD 95338b: refined transit parameters, and a search for exomoons
Despite the ever-increasing number of known exoplanets, no uncontested detections have been made of their satellites, known as exomoons. The quest to find exomoons is at the forefront of exoplanetary sciences. Certain space-born instruments are thought to be suitable for this purpose. We show the progress made with the CHaracterizing ExOPlanets Satellite (CHEOPS) in this field using the HD 95338 planetary system. We present a novel methodology as an important step in the quest to find exomoons.…

Proximity-based cities emit less mobility-driven CO$_2$
In the quest for more environmentally sustainable urban areas, the concept of the 15-minute city has been proposed to encourage active mobility, primarily through walking and cycling. An urban area is considered a ``15-minute city" if every resident can access essential services within a 15-minute walk or bike ride from their home. However, there is an ongoing debate about the effectiveness of this model in reducing car usage and carbon emissions. In this study, we conduct a large-scale data-dr…

The quest for topped hadrons
Inspired by the recent discovery of an pseudoscalar enhancement structure near the $t\bar{t}$ threshold reported by the CMS and ATLAS collaborations, this work investigates the mass spectra of single topped hadrons-including both topped mesons and topped baryons-based on a relativistic potential model. Our results show that, using the same parameters obtained from the fit to mesons and baryons, the calculated mass of pseudoscalar topponium is in excellent agreement with the observed enhancement…

Hue4U: Real-Time Personalized Color Correction in Augmented Reality
Color Vision Deficiency (CVD) affects nearly 8 percent of men and 0.5 percent of women worldwide. Existing color-correction methods often rely on prior clinical diagnosis and static filtering, making them less effective for users with mild or moderate CVD. In this paper, we introduce Hue4U, a personalized, real-time color-correction system in augmented reality using consumer-grade Meta Quest headsets. Unlike previous methods, Hue4U requires no prior medical diagnosis and adapts to the user in r…

Scientists have successfully used human stem cells
to patch a hole in a monkey's retina,
restoring the primate's vision and marking a successful step forward in the quest to treat age-related vision loss.
As detailed in a study published this month in the journal Stem Cell Reports,
the team led by Michiko Mandai at the Kobe City Eye Hospital in Japan 
focused on fixing what's called a macular hole,
an ocular condition associated with aging.

Finding My Way: Influence of Different Audio Augmented Reality Navigation Cues on User Experience and Subjective Usefulness
As augmented reality (AR) becomes increasingly prevalent in mobile and context-aware applications, the role of auditory cues in guiding users through physical environments is becoming critical. This study investigates the effectiveness and user experience of various categories of audio cues, including fully non-verbal sounds and speech-derived Spearcons, during outdoor navigation tasks using the Meta Quest 3 headset. Twenty participants navigated five outdoor routes using audio-only cue types: …

Demonstrating Visual Information Manipulation Attacks in Augmented Reality: A Hands-On Miniature City-Based Setup
Augmented reality (AR) enhances user interaction with the real world but also presents vulnerabilities, particularly through Visual Information Manipulation (VIM) attacks. These attacks alter important real-world visual cues, leading to user confusion and misdirected actions. In this demo, we present a hands-on experience using a miniature city setup, where users interact with manipulated AR content via the Meta Quest 3. The demo highlights the impact of VIM attacks on user decision-making and …
