Accretion and Erosion: A Comparative Analysis of Scientific Integrity in Canada and the US - Evidence For Democracy
Scientific credibility relies not only on the quality of research, but on the strength of the systems that safeguard it. As public trust declines and

Atomic layer etching of InGaAs using sequential exposures of atomic hydrogen and oxygen gas
The high frequency performance and yield of III-V semiconductor devices such as InP HEMTs is negatively impacted by subsurface etch damage and non-uniform etch depth over the wafer. Atomic layer etching (ALE) has the potential to overcome this challenge because of its ability to etch with Angstrom-scale precision, low damage, and intrinsic wafer-scale uniformity. Here, we report an ALE process for InGaAs based on sequential atomic hydrogen and oxygen gas exposures. An etch rate of 0.095 Å/cycl…

Holographic flavour and neural networks
In holography, flavour probe branes are used to introduce fundamental matter to the AdS/CFT correspondence. At a technical level, the probes are described by extremizing the DBI action and solving the Lagrange-Euler equations of motion. I report on applications of artificial neural networks that allow direct minimization of the regularized DBI action (interpreted as a free energy) without the need to derive and solve the equations of motion. I consider, as examples, magnetic catalysis of chiral…

Making the $μ$OST of the Muon Collider
The Muon Collider, recently highlighted as Recommendation 1 in the U.S. National Academies report on Elementary Particle Physics, offers a unique opportunity for fixed-target experiments with high energy and luminosity. This paper outlines some of the challenges and possibilities for fixed-target experiments to study the multi-dimensional structure of hadrons at the Muon Collider. We present a sketch of an experiment making use of the high-energy muon beam from the Muon Collider that could serv…

«But the cancellation of an entire issue of an academic journal, which has not been previously reported, is a remarkable new development in a mounting list of examples of censorship of pro-Palestinian speech.»
This is just one more example of how the world is turning a blind eye to the genocide the Israeli state is perpetrating against the Palestinian people. It is, in every way, inconceivable (and yes, that word does mean what I think it means) that world leaders are able to defend th…

A Scientist Question: Research on the Impact of Super Structured Quadrilateral Meshes on Convergence and Accuracy of Finite Element Analysis
In the current practices of both industry and academia, the convergence and accuracy of finite element calculations are closely related to the methods and quality of mesh generation. For years, the research on high-quality mesh generation in the domestic academic field has mainly referred to the local quality of quadrilaterals and hexahedrons approximating that of squares and cubes. The main contribution of this paper is to propose a brand-new research direction and content: it is necessary to …
