Quality Control of Silicon Sensor Modules for Particle Detectors

The High-Luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC) will produce a higher rate of particle collisions than the current Large Hadron Collider (LHC), requiring significant upgrades to the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) to handle the increased amount of data. An important upgrade is the Phase-2 Outer Tracker Upgrade, which consists of 13,000 silicon sensor modules made of two parallel silicon sensors and readout electronics. These modules undergo careful quality control checks both during and after module assembly to ensure precise and reliable detector performance. This project focuses on precision testing for quality control of silicon sensor modules at Fermilab. Hands-on work includes visual inspection, current-voltage testing, module testing, and ultraviolet (UV) light exposure of modules showing abnormal current-voltage behavior. The ultraviolet exposure process improves the abnormal sensor readout data by placing the selected sensor side of the module directly under the UV light inside a controlled box. In addition to laboratory testing and ultraviolet experiments, I developed a Python-based data tool that connects to a module database and allows selected testing conditions and module information to be retrieved and displayed efficiently. These different testing procedures, experimental processes, and computational tools support the broader goal of identifying module issues and improving modules that will be used in the CMS Outer Tracker Phase-2 Upgrade.

A distinct subpopulation of membrane vesicles in Pseudomonas putida is enriched in enzymes for lignin catabolism

Bacterial membrane vesicles (MVs) mediate diverse microbial processes and are emerging as powerful biomedical tools, but MV population heterogeneity remains an open question. Here, we separate, enumerate, and characterize two MV populations from the soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida during growth with or without lignin-derived carbon, a major carbon source from plant cells in the rhizosphere. Small MVs (MV-S, diameter ~100 nm) were produced from all cultures, whereas large MVs (MV-L, diameter ~300 nm) were observed during the late stationary phase of lignin cultivations. MV-S contained selectively packaged proteins with diverse physiological functions, whereas the MV-L proteome was smaller and largely enriched in outer membrane proteins. Interestingly, enzymes known to mediate the catabolism of lignin-derived aromatic compounds were enriched in MV-S. Overall, this study highlights the need for careful consideration of MV populations in microbial systems.

Electron transport across the cell envelope via multiheme c -type cytochromes in Geobacter sulfurreducens

Extracellular electron transfer (EET) enables certain microorganisms to respire using soluble and insoluble extracellular electron acceptors by transporting electrons across the cell envelope. Among these, G. sulfurreducens serves as a model organism for understanding direct EET pathways, where multiheme c-type cytochromes mediate electron transport from intracellular redox carriers to extracellular acceptors such as Fe(III) oxides and electrodes. This review focuses on heme-dependent electron transfer in Geobacter sulfurreducens, detailing the roles of inner membrane cytochromes, periplasmic carriers, outer membrane conduits, and recently characterized extracellular nanowires formed by polymerized multiheme c-type cytochromes, including OmcS, OmcE, and OmcZ. We examine the state of understanding of their physiological function, their structural features, expression patterns, and essentiality under various respiratory conditions. These insights advance our understanding of microbial anaerobic respiration and have implications for biogeochemical cycling, bioenergy generation, and bioremediation. The molecular architecture, assembly mechanisms, and secretion pathways of multiheme c-type cytochrome nanowires remain active areas of investigation, offering promising directions for future research and biotechnological innovation in engineered microbial systems.

In Situ Cyclized Polyacrylonitrile Coating: Key to Stabilizing Porous High-Entropy Oxide Anodes for High-Performance Lithium-Ion Batteries

High-entropy oxides (HEOs) composed of multiple metal elements have attracted great attention as anode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) due to the synergistic effects of various metal species. However, the practical applications of HEOs are still plagued by poor conductivity, unstable solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) and poor cycling stability. In this work, nanosized (FeCoNiCrMn) 3 O 4 HEO (NHEO) is prepared successfully by the NaCl-assisted mechanical ball-milling strategy. Novelly, polyacrylonitrile (PAN) is used as the binder and then in situ thermochemically cyclized to construct a cyclized PAN (cPAN) outer layer onto NHEO (NHEO-cPAN). The in situ formed cPAN coating not only improves the electrical conductivity, but also reinforces the structural and interfacial stability, and thereby, the resulted NHEO-cPAN electrode exhibits significantly enhanced rate and cyclic performance. Specifically, NHEO-PAN500 electrode delivers a high reversible capacity of 560 mAh g –1 at 5 A g –1 and a high-capacity retention of 83% over 800 cycles at 3 A g –1 . Furthermore, the structural evolution and electrochemical behavior of NHEO-PAN electrode during discharge/charge is systematically investigated by operando X-ray diffraction, in situ impedance spectroscopy and ex situ high-resolution transmission electron microscopy. Therefore, this work provides new insights into the engineering of electrode and interphase for high-performance HEO electrode materials, potentially enlightening the practical applications of HEO-based LIBs.

Flux Upcycling of Degraded Layered Cathodes to LiNi x Mn y Co z O 2 (NMCs) with Gradient Transition Metal Distribution

The rising demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has intensified the need for efficient recycling methods to address both supply chain constraints and environmental impacts. Direct upcycling, distinguished by its ability to achieve both the structural and compositional integrity of cathode materials, has gained prominence as a sustainable alternative to conventional pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes. However, the current direct upcycling methods are typically limited by incorporating Li and/or Ni, significantly constraining the adaptability across diverse LiNi x Mn y Co z O 2 (NMCs). Here, in this study, a versatile molten salt approach is reported that expands the scope of direct upcycling by enabling simultaneous incorporation of Li, Ni, and Mn. This methodology facilitates flexible conversion among diverse NMC compositions, including non-stoichiometric Co/Mn systems such as upcycling degraded LiCoO 2 (D-LCO), LiNi 1/3 Mn 1/3 Co 1/3 O 2 (D-NMC111), LiNi 0.8 Mn 0.1 Co 0.1 O 2 (D-NMC811) to surface Mn enriched NMC111, LiNi 0.5 Mn 0.3 Co 0.2 O 2 (NMC532), and NMC811, respectively. The gradient transition metal distribution in upcycled products, characterized by Mn-enriched outer layers and Co/Ni-enriched cores enhances the interfacial stability of NMC cathodes, addressing critical challenges in long-term performance and structural integrity. These results highlight the potential of flux methods for advancing the upcycling of spent cathodes and producing high-performance materials for next-generation LIBs applications.

Decoding Gas Evolution Pathways and Interfacial Chemistry in Layered Oxide Cathodes for Safer Sodium‐Ion Batteries

Sodium-ion batteries (SIBs) are attractive for the low cost and abundance of sodium. Yet, gas evolution—a critical challenge in SIBs—remains underexplored. Here, online electrochemical mass spectrometry is used to probe gas evolution in layered oxide cathodes with various compositions, cutoff voltages, dopants, and particle morphologies. Compared to LiNiO 2 (LNO), NaNiO 2 releases more gas, even at lower states of charge, due to the higher covalency of Ni─O bond caused by the more ionic Na─O bond through the inductive effect. Among Co, Mn, Al, and Mg, Mn and Mg doping suppress gas release most effectively by enhancing the metal-oxygen bond strength. NaNi 1/3 Fe 1/3 Mn 1/3 O 2 (NFM) cathodes synthesized via coprecipitation (CP-NFM) and solid-state routes exhibit distinct particle morphologies; CP-NFM exhibits more gas evolution, yet secondary particle morphology helps reduce it through differential cathode-electrolyte reactivity between inner and outer primary particles. Among Li, Ti, Mg, and Cu doping in NFM, Li has the largest effect, reducing gas levels comparable to LNO. Nuclear magnetic resonance and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopies reveal that electrolyte solvent decomposition mainly produces organic-rich cathode-electrolyte interphase (CEI) rather than soluble species. NaPF 6 salt further exacerbates cathode-electrolyte reactions, forming surface Na 2 O species. The findings provide actionable guidance for designing safer, durable SIBs.

Automated Bacterial Identification and Morphological Feature Analysis in Low‐Dose Cryo‐EM Using YOLOv11

Bacteria rapidly adapt to environmental cues through morphological and ultrastructural changes that correlate with physiology and behavior. Cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (cryo‐TEM) can capture these phenotypic changes in near‐native, vitrified states, but manual analysis of low‐dose micrographs is labor intensive and limits throughput. Here, we present an end‐to‐end workflow that combines low‐dose cryo‐TEM imaging with a YOLOv11‐based instance‐segmentation model to automatically identify bacteria and quantify key structural features directly from the micrographs. This workflow enables (i) robust bacterial localization and counting from low‐magnification atlas/montage images, (ii) automated measurements of cell‐envelope (outer–inner membrane) thickness and anisotropy from higher‐magnification views, and (iii) detection and quantification of bacteria–flagella interactions, including overlap length and curvature metrics for interacting versus noninteracting flagella. Using Pantoea sp. YR343 grown under distinct media conditions, we show that the automated measurements agree with manual annotations while substantially reducing analysis time. Together, these tools provide a practical framework for scalable bacterial identification and quantitative phenotyping in low‐dose cryo‐TEM datasets and establish a foundation for extending cryo‐TEM image analysis toward higher‐throughput studies of microbial heterogeneity and biointerfaces.

Redox‐Mediated Electrochemical Regeneration of Spent LiFePO 4 Battery Cathodes

Direct recycling of lithium-ion battery cathodes offers considerable appeal over metallurgical approaches. Here, we demonstrate a mediated electrochemical method for direct regeneration of degraded LiFePO 4 (LFP). The approach uses a redox mediator, iron propylenediamine tetraacetate, that undergoes electrochemical reduction and is circulated through an external reservoir, where it supplies the electrons needed to regenerate LFP in the presence of Li + ions derived from LiOH oxidation. Rapid outer-sphere electron transfer is observed from the mediator to the degraded LFP material. This feature, together with good aqueous solubility of the mediator (0.3 M), supports current densities up to 100 mA/cm 2 , and this electrochemical recycling process is demonstrated on 100 g scale. 57 Fe Mössbauer spectroscopy is used to monitor the correction of structural defects in the degraded LFP, providing the basis for regeneration of LFP that matches the electrochemical performance of pristine LFP.

PCET‐Driven Reactivity of Neptunyl(VI) Yields Oxo‐Bridged Np(V) and Np(IV) Species

Two unconventional polynuclear complexes of neptunium (Np) featuring mono-mathematical equation -oxo motifs have been accessed by proton-coupled electron transfer (PCET) reactivity involving the dissolution of neptunyl(VI) diacetate dihydrate (NpO 2 (OAc) 2 (H 2 O) 2 ∙ HOAc) in methanol followed by addition of a pentadentate Schiff-base ligand. One complex is a mixed-valent [Np V ,Np IV , Np V ] trimer with two bridging mathematical equation μ 2 -oxos and the other is a [Np V , Np V ] dimer featuring a single mathematical equation μ 2 -oxo. In both complexes the outer Np centers are capped with terminal oxo ligands. Spectroscopic and spectrokinetic studies aimed at elucidating mechanistic details of complex formation in this system show that intermediate multinuclear [Np V O 2 (OAc)] n species form prior to metal chelation by the ligand; electrolysis experiments demonstrate that production of Np(V) gives rise to asynchronous proton transfer that does not occur otherwise (in the Np(VI) state) as well as condensation with loss of H 2 O and formation of the polynuclear complexes. We attribute the oxo-deficient nature of these products, with respect to conventional actinyl ([AnO 2 ] m+ ) species, to the reduction/condensation reaction sequence of PCET.

Vacuum Neutral Transport Model in UEDGE for Tokamak Far Scrape‐Off Layer

A model for neutral transport in the far scrape-off layer (SOL) vacuum region (vacuum neutral model) has been developed and implemented in UEDGE. Free-streaming neutral trajectories between the outermost UEDGE boundary and the vessel wall are preprocessed using DEGAS2 to construct a tele-transport matrix that captures non-local neutral relocation through the vacuum. Here, this matrix is then used in UEDGE as a non-local boundary condition for the neutral equations, preserving the robustness and convergence of the implicit solver without introducing statistical noise. Simulations of a DIII-D lower single-null configuration show that the vacuum neutral model relocates neutrals from the divertor to the upstream region, increasing the outer midplane separatrix density required for detachment onset by about 30%. However, the characteristic target temperature at detachment (T e, osp ~ 3 - 4eV) and the radiation front behavior remain unchanged.

Investigation of Drift Effects in UEDGE Simulations of NSTX-U Edge Plasma With Lithium Divertors

Lithium is a low-Z material, and lithium-based plasma-facing components (PFCs) are planned for the National Spherical Torus Experiment Upgrade (NSTX-U) to explore potential benefits for divertor power exhaust and core plasma management. NSTX-U is a medium-sized spherical tokamak with up to 12 MW of auxiliary heating, capable of generating reactor-relevant plasma conditions. This work presents boundary plasma simulations for NSTX-U with lithium PFCs using the UEDGE code, incorporating full magnetic and 𝐄 ×𝐁 drift physics. The simulations show that drifts strongly influence heat and particle transport: they enhance convective transport, broaden the scrape-off layer heat-flux width 𝜆 𝑞 , and reduce the anomalous heat diffusivity 𝜒 required to reproduce predicted SOL heat-flux width. 𝐄 ×𝐁 drifts provide poloidal transport, while ∇𝐵 (which includes both gradB and curvature) drifts provide radial heat and particle transport. Lithium transport is also affected by drifts, with lithium ions migrating from the outer divertor to the inner divertor through the private flux region (PFR) following the 𝐄 ×𝐁 drifts flow, lowering upstream impurity lithium densities. UEDGE is self-consistently coupled with the Wall-Li model to study plasma lithium PFC interactions depending on the local lithium sourcing based on local plasma conditions and lithium surface temperature. In these simulations, lithium evaporation shows a vapor-shielding effect that reduces divertor heat flux and increases radiative losses once surface temperatures exceed 450°C. This research work provides a first step toward self-consistent modeling of lithium PFCs in NSTX-U, demonstrating the impact of drift-driven plasma transport in SOL and divertor regions.

Effect of Magnetic Islands on Neoclassical Heat Diffusivity in a Global Tokamak Simulation

Resonant magnetic perturbations (RMPs) alter magnetic field topology via island formation and can modify core transport in toroidal fusion devices. Using the global gyrokinetic particle‐in‐cell code XGC‐S, originally developed for stellarator geometries, we quantify how island topology affects neoclassical heat transport in a circular tokamak with ($m,n$) = (5,2) RMP‐induced islands. Electron radial heat diffusivity exhibits a two‐peak structure with a dominant enhancement near the O/X‐point region and a secondary peak at the outer island boundary, whereas ion transport remains close to the neoclassical prediction. The observed electron diffusivity is strongly enhanced over the neoclassical baseline but remains well below the Rechester–Rosenbluth estimate, consistent with the non‐ergodic character of the island topology. The density dependence of diffusivity is weaker inside the islands than outside, indicating the presence of topology‐driven transport channels that do not depend strongly on collisionality. Two‐dimensional heat flux maps reveal an up–down antisymmetric structure at the island separatrices consistent with magnetic gradient and curvature drift effects, in contrast to the symmetric temperature flattening inside the islands. These results identify topology‐dependent avenues for electron heat transport in RMP‐perturbed cores and suggest regimes in which island geometry, rather than collisions alone, governs radial transport.

Pore Structures in Detritusphere of Soils Under Switchgrass and Restored Prairie Vegetation Community

Root detritusphere, that is, the soil in the vicinity of decomposing root residues, plays an important role in soil microbial activity and C sequestration. Pore structure (size distributions and connectivity of soil pores) in the detritusphere serves as a major driver for these processes and, in turn, is influenced by the physical characteristics of both soil and roots. This study compared pore structure characteristics in the root detritusphere of soils of contrasting texture and mineralogy subjected to > 6 years of contrasting vegetation: monoculture switchgrass and polyculture prairie systems. Soil samples were collected from five experimental sites in the US Midwest representing three soil types. Soil texture and mineralogy were measured using a hydrometer and x-ray powder diffraction, respectively. The intact cores were scanned with x-ray computed micro-tomography to identify visible soil pores, biopores, and particulate organic matter (POM). We specifically focused on pore structure within the detritusphere around the POM of root origin. Results showed that the detritusphere of coarser textured soils, characterized by high sand and quartz contents, had lower porosity in the vicinity of POM compared with finer textured soils. POM vicinities in finer textured soils had high proportions of large (> 300 μm diameter) pores, and their pores were better connected than in the coarser soils. Lower porosity in the outer (> 1 mm) parts of the detritusphere of switchgrass than of prairie suggested soil compaction by roots, with the effect especially pronounced in the coarser soils. Here, the results demonstrated that soil texture and mineralogy played a major, while vegetation played a more modest, role in defining the pore structure in the root detritusphere.

Bayesian batch optimization for molybdenum versus tungsten inertial confinement fusion double shell target design

Access to reliable, clean energy sources is a major concern for national security. Much research is focused on the “grand challenge” of producing energy via controlled fusion reactions in a laboratory setting. For fusion experiments, specifically inertial confinement fusion (ICF), to produce sufficient energy, the fusion reactions in the ICF fuel need to become self-sustaining and burn deuterium-tritium (DT) fuel efficiently. The recent record-breaking NIF ignition shot was able to achieve this goal as well as produce more energy than used to drive the experiment. This achievement brings self-sustaining fusion-based power systems closer than ever before, capable of providing humans with access to secure, renewable energy. In order to further progress toward the actualization of such power systems, more ICF experiments need to be conducted at large laser facilities such as the United States's National Ignition Facility (NIF) or France's Laser Mega-Joule. The high cost per shot and limited number of shots that are possible per year make it prohibitive to perform large numbers of experiments. As such, experimental design relies heavily on complex predictive physics simulations for high-fidelity “preshot” analysis. These multidimensional, multi-physics, high-fidelity simulations have to account for a variety of input parameters as well as modeling the extreme conditions (pressures and densities) present at ignition. Such simulations (especially in 3D) can become computationally prohibitive to turn around for each ICF experiment. In this work, we explore using Bayesian optimization with Gaussian processes (GPs) to find optimal designs for ICF double shell targets, while keeping computational costs to manageable levels. These double shell targets have an inner shell that grades from beryllium on the outer surface to the higher Z material molybdenum, as opposed to the nominally used tungsten, on the inside in order to trade off between the high performance associated with high density inner shells and capsule stability. We describe our results for “capsule-only” xRAGE simulations to study the physics between different capsule designs, inner shell materials, and potential for future experiments.

Techno‐Economic Analysis of Additively‐Manufactured Wind Turbine Blade Tips That Enable Technology Integration

The Additively‐Manufactured, System‐Integrated Tip (AMSIT) project is leveraging the flexibility of 3D printing to integrate several technologies in a wind turbine blade tip, while reducing the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) produced. The design integration is demonstrated for a 200‐kW–scale turbine with 13‐m blades, with the outer 15% of the blade replaced with a 3D‐printed design. Aerodynamic performance is enhanced without increasing swept area through inclusion of a winglet and surface texturing, both challenging for traditional manufacturing. Longevity and durability are improved through integrated lightning and leading edge erosion protection. Increased power, reduced repair frequency, and ease of repair through blade modularity all contribute to reduced LCOE. The analysis is also extended to modern MW‐scale designs to estimate the impact of the technology at scale, demonstrating the potential to reduce LCOE significantly for modern onshore turbines, with even higher potential savings offshore.

The structure of quantum singularities on a Cauchy horizon

Spacetime singularities pose a long-standing puzzle in quantum gravity. Unlike Schwarzschild, a generic family of black holes gives rise to a Cauchy horizon on which, even in the Hartle-Hawking state, quantum observables such as ⟨T μν ⟩ — the expectation value of the stress-energy tensor — can diverge, causing a breakdown of semiclassical gravity. Because they are diagnosed within quantum field theory (QFT) on a smooth background, these singularities may provide a better-controlled version of the spacetime singularity problem, and merit further study. Here, I highlight a mildness puzzle of Cauchy horizon singularities: the ⟨T μν ⟩ singularity is significantly milder than expected from symmetry and dimensional analysis. I address the puzzle in a simple spacetime ${\mathcal{W}}_P$, which arises universally near all black hole Cauchy horizons: the past of a codimension-two spacelike plane in flat spacetime. Specifically, I propose an extremely broad QFT construction in which, roughly speaking, Cauchy horizon singularities originate from operator insertions in the causal complement of the spacetime. The construction reproduces well-known outer horizon singularities (e.g., in the Boulware state), and remarkably, when applied to ${\mathcal{W}}_P$, gives rise to a universal mild singularity structure for robust singularities, ones whose leading singular behavior is state-independent. I make non-trivial predictions for all black hole Cauchy horizon singularities using this, and discuss extending the results beyond robust singularities and the strict near Cauchy horizon limit.

Measurement of charged hadron multiplicity in Au + Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV with the sPHENIX detector

The pseudorapidity distribution of charged hadrons produced in Au + Au collisions at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 200 GeV is measured using data collected by the sPHENIX detector. Charged hadron yields are extracted by counting cluster pairs in the inner and outer layers of the Intermediate Silicon Tracker, with corrections applied for detector acceptance, reconstruction efficiency, combinatorial pairs, and contributions from secondary decays. The measured distributions cover |η| < 1.1 across various centralities, and the average pseudorapidity density of charged hadrons at mid-rapidity is compared to predictions from Monte Carlo heavy-ion event generators. This result, featuring full azimuthal coverage at mid-rapidity, is consistent with previous experimental measurements at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider, thereby supporting the broader sPHENIX physics program.
