The Dark Art of Financial Disguise in Web3: Money Laundering Schemes and Countermeasures
The rise of Web3 and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has enabled borderless access to financial services empowered by smart contracts and blockchain technology. However, the ecosystem's trustless, permissionless, and borderless nature presents substantial regulatory challenges. The absence of centralized oversight and the technical complexity create fertile ground for financial crimes. Among these, money laundering is particularly concerning, as in the event of successful scams, code exploits, and…

Carbon-Negative Commuting: Integrating Urban Design, Behavior, and Technology for Climate-Positive Mobility
Commuting contributes substantially to urban greenhouse gas emissions and represents a critical focus for climate mitigation efforts. This paper explores the multifaceted nature of commuting-related carbon dioxide emissions by analyzing the influence of urban form, socio-economic attributes, and individual behaviors. It reviews analytical approaches including structural equation modeling, multi-objective optimization, and agent-based simulations that have been employed to understand and mitigat…

"Can I Decorate My Teeth With Diamonds?": Exploring Multi-Stakeholder Perspectives on Using VR to Reduce Children's Dental Anxiety
Dental anxiety is prevalent among children, often leading to missed treatment and potential negative effects on their mental well-being. While several interventions (e.g., pharmacological and psychotherapeutic techniques) have been introduced for anxiety alleviation, the recently emerged virtual reality (VR) technology, with its immersive and playful nature, opened new opportunities for complementing and enhancing the therapeutic effects of existing interventions. In this light, we conducted a …

Navigating the Dual-Use Nature and Security Implications of Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces in Next-Generation Wireless Systems
Reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) technology offers significant promise in enhancing wireless communication systems, but its dual-use potential also introduces substantial security risks. This survey explores the security implications of RIS in next-generation wireless networks. We first highlight the dual-use nature of RIS, demonstrating how its communication-enhancing capabilities can be exploited by adversaries to compromise legitimate users. We identify a new class of security vulner…

Growth Optimization of MoSi Thin Film and Measurement of Transport Critical Current Density of its Meander Structure
Amorphous thin film superconductors are promising alternatives for the development of superconducting radiation detectors, especially superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPDs) and superconducting microwire single photon detectors (SWSPDs), due to their homogeneous nature, ease of deposition, and superconducting parameters comparable to the materials currently being used. A study on the optimization of the growth technology and superconducting transition temperature (TC) of MoSi …

Geometric Mechanics of Thin Periodic Surfaces
Thin surfaces are ubiquitous in nature, from leaves to cell membranes, and in technology, from paper to corrugated containers. Structural thinness imbues them with flexibility, the ability to easily bend under light loads, even as their much higher stretching stiffness can bear substantial stresses. When surfaces have periodic patterns of either smooth hills and valleys or sharp origami-like creases this can substantially modify their mechanical response. We show that for any such surface, ther…

Unlocking New Frontiers: The Versatile Potential of the Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor
The multipurpose nature of nuclear research reactors has been investigated. This class of reactors has gained momentum within the international community, given the multiple benefits of nuclear technology in medicine, agriculture, industry, and the development of new materials, being characterized by the simultaneous use of several applications. In this context, Brazil has recently joined the group of countries with multipurpose reactor projects. The Brazilian Multipurpose Reactor (RMB) will be…
