Superclustering with the Atacama Cosmology Telescope and Dark Energy Survey. II. Anisotropic Large-scale Coherence in Hot Gas, Galaxies, and Dark Matter

Statistics that capture the directional dependence of the baryon distribution in the cosmic web enable unique tests of cosmology and astrophysical feedback. We use constrained oriented stacking of thermal Sunyaev–Zel’dovich (tSZ) maps to measure the anisotropic distribution of hot gas 2.5–40 Mpc away from galaxy clusters embedded in massive filaments and superclusters. The cluster selection and orientation (at a scale of ∼15 Mpc) use Dark Energy Survey (DES) Year 3 data, while expanded tSZ maps from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope Data Release 6 enable a ∼3× more significant measurement of the extended gas compared to the technique’s proof-of-concept. Decomposing stacks into cosine multipoles of order m , we detect a dipole ( m = 1) and quadrupole ( m = 2) at 8σ–10σ, as well as evidence for m = 4 signal at up to 6σ, indicating sensitivity to late-time non-Gaussianity. We compare to Cardinal simulations with spherical gas models pasted onto dark matter halos. The fiducial tSZ data can discriminate between two models that deplete pressure differently in low-mass halos (mimicking astrophysical feedback), preferring higher average pressure in extended structures. However, uncertainty in the amount of cosmic infrared background contamination reduces the constraining power. Additionally, we apply the technique to DES galaxy density and weak lensing to study for the first time their oriented relationships with tSZ. In the tSZ-to-lensing relation, averaged on 7.5 Mpc (transverse) scales, we observe dependence on redshift but not shape or radial distance. Thus, on large scales, the superclustering of gas pressure, galaxies, and total matter is coherent in shape and extent.

Characterizing the γ-Ray Emission from Low-luminosity AGN

A majority of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the local Universe are classified as low-luminosity AGN (LLAGN), having bolometric luminosities ≲10 42 erg s −1 . Although high-energy γ-ray emission is predicted from both the jets and disks of LLAGN, to date only four have been detected by the Fermi Large Area Telescope (Fermi-LAT). In this work, we therefore conduct a comprehensive study of all the LLAGN from the Palomar spectroscopic survey of bright, northern galaxies, including both subthreshold and detected γ-ray sources, using 14.4 yr of LAT data. Our analysis results in a new detection of one LLAGN, as well as a detection of the subthreshold population using a stacking technique. We find that the signal from the subthreshold sample is consistent with being dominated by star formation activity, although a contribution from compact jets or a mixed contribution from jetted and nonjetted systems is also feasible. On the other hand, the individually detected LLAGN are likely dominated by jet emission. We perform detailed spectral modeling for a subset of these sources and find that the γ-ray signal can be explained by synchrotron self-Compton radiation if the inner jet emission region is weakly magnetized, with its total energy density being strongly particle dominated and only slowly moving. With this work we also publicly release our Python-based stacking library for analyzing subthreshold source populations with the LAT based on a proven technique used in numerous studies.

Leveraging machine learning to enhance aerosol classification using Single-Particle Mass Spectrometry

Advancing automated classification of atmospheric aerosols from Single-Particle Mass Spectrometry (SPMS) data remains challenging due to overlapping ion signatures, compositional diversity, and limited labeled data. This study evaluates supervised and semi-supervised learning frameworks to enhance aerosol identification by jointly leveraging labeled and unlabeled spectra. Four models were compared: a supervised Support Vector Machine (SVM), a self-training SVM, a stacked autoencoder classifier, and a stacked autoencoder trained using a temporal-ensembling Mean Teacher approach. All models achieved high and stable accuracies (90.0 %–91.1 %), surpassing previous results on the same dataset (87 %) and matching the performance of state-of-the-art deep learning methods. Despite small global metric differences (≤ 1 %), semi-supervised variants yielded up to 5 %–10 % improvements for compositionally rare particle types – such as soot (0.77 % of spectra, F1-score: 0.93–0.97) and hazelnut pollen (0.98 % of spectra, F1-score: 0.97–1.00) – equating to roughly ∼ 187 additional correctly classified spectra. These gains are scientifically significant, as such rare particles exert disproportionate influence on radiative absorption and ice nucleation processes; their improved detection reduces modeled uncertainties in aerosol absorption optical depth and mixed-phase cloud ice nucleation rates. The models' residual misclassifications (≈ 9 %) largely arise from true spectral overlap among chemically adjacent species (e.g., Na- vs. K-feldspar, coated vs. uncoated feldspars), reflecting physical compositional continuity rather than algorithmic error. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that leveraging unlabeled data to learn robust spectral representations and refine classification enhances both fidelity and interpretability, bridging data-driven analysis with aerosol–climate process understanding.

Exploring the Feasibility of a Carbon Dioxide Storage Hub in Western North Dakota

The University of North Dakota Energy & Environmental Research Center (EERC) and project partner ONEOK, Inc. (ONEOK) are investigating the feasibility of establishing a CO2 (carbon dioxide) storage hub in western North Dakota—in the heart of the Williston Basin. The conceived Roughrider Carbon Storage Hub would store CO2 captured from six gas-processing plants owned and operated by project partner ONEOK and a planned gas-to-liquids plant. This 2-year U.S. Department of Energy-sponsored Carbon Storage Assurance Facility Enterprise (CarbonSAFE) Phase II feasibility study is evaluating the aggregation of the CO2 captured from these seven sources for injection into stacked geologic storage complexes. The proposed hub includes several aspects that make it a highly qualified candidate for a feasibility study with a notably reduced project risk profile. These include 1) a project partner (ONEOK) with a committed goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions; 2) prior subsurface data analysis supporting a potential stacked storage configuration with adequate CO2 storage resource; 3) commitment from local, regional, and state-level stakeholders; and 4) a state with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency underground injection control Class VI primacy. ONEOK’s assets in the Williston Basin provide significant environmental benefits by capturing and processing natural gas that may otherwise be flared or vented. Storing CO2 from these gas-processing facilities will reduce overall CO2 emissions in the basin while providing essential services to producers there and contributing to continued energy independence in the domestic markets.

SPT-3G D1: Compton-$y$ maps using data from the SPT-3G and Planck surveys

We present thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (tSZ) Compton-$y$ parameter maps constructed from two years (2019-2020) of observations with the South Pole Telescope (SPT) third-generation camera, SPT-3G, combined with data from the Planck satellite. Using a linear combination (LC) pipeline, we obtain a suite of reconstructions that explore different trade-offs between statistical sensitivity and suppression of astrophysical contaminants, including minimum-variance, CMB-deprojected, and CIB-deprojected $y$-maps. We validate these maps through different statistical techniques such as auto- and cross-power spectra with large-scale structure tracers as well as stacking on cluster locations. These tests are used to understand the balance between noise and astrophysical foreground residuals (such as the CIB) in combination with the recovery of the tSZ signal for different maps. For example, results from stacking at the location of clusters confirm the robustness of the recovered tSZ signal over the $\sim 1500\: {\rm deg}^2$ SPT-3G survey field used in this analysis. The high-resolution and low-noise maps produced here provide an important cosmological tool for future studies, including measurements of the Compton-$y$ map power spectrum, cross-correlations with other tracers of the large-scale structure, detailed modeling of cluster pressure profiles, and study of the thermodynamic state of the baryons in the Universe.

Pressure-induced cation and vacancy disorder-order transition and near-zero τ f in deficient hexagonal perovskite Ba 8 ZnTa 6 O 24 dielectrics

Pressure applications can enable the tuning of atomic/defect ordering and provide access to new functional materials. Here, in this study, we report that pressure-induced structural transformation featuring disorder-order transition of both cations and vacancies in the 8-layer deficient hexagonal perovskite tantalate dielectrics Ba 8 ZnTa 6 O 24 , which transformed the structure from twin to shift and remarkably lowered the temperature coefficient of resonant frequency τ f down to near zero (∼0.56 ppm/°C) from 38 ppm/°C for the twinned precursor. The atomic scale STEM-HAADF and EDS results confirm the ordering of Zn in the Ta host at the nanometer scale in the shifted material featuring well-ordered Ba 8 ZnTa 6 O 24 slabs intergrown with Ba 3 ZnTa 2 O 9 and Ba 5 Ta 4 O 15 monolayers and anti-phase grain boundaries as planar defects. The pressure-induced twin-shift structural transformation of Ba 8 ZnTa 6 O 24 features the rare constant concentration of the hexagonal stacked layers, which is allowed by the vacancy ordering at the central layers of face-shared octahedral (FSO) trimers avoiding the FSO B-B repulsion, and remarkably the faster cationic ordering kinetics compared with the 2:1 ordered complex perovskites. Although the inclusion of numerous planar defects and the oxidizable atomic defects led to significant p-type conduction and inhomogeneous electrical microstructures, resulting in an extraordinarily high extrinsic dielectric loss for the high-pressure shifted Ba 8 ZnTa 6 O 24 pellet, the intrinsically near-zero τ f could make the shifted Ba 8 ZnTa 6 O 24 perovskite an ideal microwave dielectric resonator candidate if the defects could be eliminated.

Temperature-Dependent Mechanical Properties of Ni-Based Concentrated Alloys: Insights from First-Principles Calculations

The present work focuses on predicting temperature-dependent mechanical properties of Ni-based concentrated alloys Ni 18 Cr 10 Co 10 Fe 6 M 4 (abbreviated by X 44 M 4 , with M = Al, V, Mn, Fe, Nb, Mo, and W) using density functional theory (DFT). These predictions are based on shear (plastic) and elastic deformations, utilizing the special quasirandom structure (SQS), the phonon-based quasiharmonic approach (QHA), and the quasistatic approach. The resulting properties include coefficient of thermal expansion via QHA, ideal shear strength (τ IS ), and stable and unstable stacking fault energies (γ SF and γ US ) through pure alias shear deformation, and elastic constants (c ij ), bulk modulus (B 0 ), and shear modules (G 0 ) via elastic deformation. Notably, predicting accurate γ SF is challenging due to uncertainties that can exceed the γ SF values. τ IS and γ US exhibit a strong linear relationship, enabling the accurate prediction of γ US based on the precisely determined τ IS . All mechanical properties of X 44 M 4 decrease with increasing temperature, except for some γ SF cases such as X 44 M 4 with M = V, Mn, Fe, Mo, and W. Among the X 44 M 4 alloys, X 44 Nb 4 exhibits the lowest τ IS , γ US , and G 0 values, and the highest B 0 /G 0 ratio, while X 44 Mn 4 has the lowest B 0 and B 0 /G 0 ratio. We found that volume is a crucial descriptor for understanding and modeling mechanical properties (except B0 and maybe also γ SF ) affected by alloying elements and temperature. Ni-based dilute alloys (e.g., Ni 11 M 1 and Ni 31 M 1 ) and concentrated alloys (e.g., X 44 M 4 ) show similar trends in mechanical properties influenced by alloying elements and temperature, simplifying the analysis and design of Ni-based alloys.

Nuclear excitation functions for medical isotope production: Targeted radionuclide therapy via nat IR$(d, x)$ 193m Pt

193m Pt is an Auger emitting radionuclide which may have therapeutic potential, particularly when labeled to the chemotherapeutic drug cisplatin. One challenge to broader explorations of its clinical potential is the need for production routes with high specific activity. As part of a larger campaign to address gaps in reaction data for emerging medical radionuclides, this work seeks to characterize the nat Ir(d,x) reactions as a potential production pathway for 193m Pt. A stacked target irradiation, consisting of natural iridium, iron, nickel, and copper foils, was performed using a 33 MeV deuteron beam at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory 88-Inch Cyclotron. This measurement, along with previous experimental data, suggests an energy window between 11 to 18 MeV to maximize the production and radiopurity of 193m Pt. This experiment has yielded cross sections for 43 channels of deuteron-induced reactions from threshold to 30 MeV, including the first experimental results of nat Ir(d,x) 188m1+g,190m1+g Ir (cumulative), nat Ni(d,x) 56,57,58 m,58g Co (independent), nat Cu(d,x) 61 Co (cumulative) and nat Fe(d,x) 53 Fe, 48 V (cumulative). The results were compared with literature data, the TENDL-2023 database, and default theoretical calculations from the TALYS-2.04, CoH-3.6.0, EMPIRE 3.2.3, and ALICE-2020 reaction modeling codes. Here, this work presents another example of the lack of predictive capabilities for this set of modern nuclear-reaction modeling codes, and highlights the unsatisfactory modeling of experimental cross sections. Experimental data are important to improve the codes in general, and new experimental results can be used to improve the models. Finally, this measurement has revealed the need for an updated evaluation of the nat Cu(d,x) 63 Zn deuteron monitor reaction.

Understanding the deformation behavior of the γ rich transformative Fe 38.5 Mn 20 Co 20 Cr 15 Si 5 Cu 1.5 complex concentrated alloy using in situ synchrotron diffraction

In situ tensile testing coupled with synchrotron x-ray diffraction was used to study the deformation behavior of metastability-engineered Fe 38.5 Mn 20 Co 20 Cr 15 Si 5 Cu 1.5 complex concentrated alloy. Monitoring the evolution of phase fraction and strain hardening response allowed the determination of true critical stress for the onset of the transformation-induced plasticity (TRIP) to be ∼375 MPa, preceded by slip starting at ∼255 MPa. In situ EBSD was used to validate the critical stress for transformation at the microstructure level and observe slip traces to confirm prior slip activity before the transformation. Further, a modeling framework based on stacking fault energy (SFE) was developed to predict the critical stress for transformation. Modeling suggested the SFE of the alloy to fall nearly 15 mJ/m 2 , which agrees well with SFE values calculated using synchrotron peak shifting (12 mJ/m 2 ) and thermodynamic calculation (11 mJ/m 2 ). As a result of γ-fcc to ε-hcp phase transformation, new {0002} ε planes emerged parallel to unaligned {111} γ planes with the tensile loading following S-N orientation relationship. Such selective emergence of new diffraction rings corresponding to ε phase is understood based on the reorientation of γ crystals with reference to tensile axis. In conclusion, this approach can be extended to effectively design alloys based on critical stress required for activating different deformation mechanisms to further push the limits of the strength-ductility envelope.

An atomistic study connecting underlying dislocation behavior with superior mechanical properties of NiCoCr medium entropy alloy

NiCoCr-based medium-entropy alloy (MEA) with a simple face-centered cubic crystal phase exhibits excellent mechanical properties, often attributed to the synergy of multiple deformation mechanisms. However, the atomistic origin of their outstanding mechanical response, including microstructural evolution and dislocation behavior under varying strain-rates and orientation, remains unclear. In this work, we employ large-scale molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to investigate the changes in deformation mechanisms along three distinct orientations ([110], [111], [100]) under varying strain rates (1 ×10 8 /sec, 1 ×10 10 /sec, 1 ×10 12 /sec) in the NiCoCr MEA. The presence of the stair-rod and the Shockley partial dislocations under uniaxial tensile strain are found to play a key role in the formation of deformation twinning and ε-martensite, which positively correlates with strain-rate dependent dislocation analysis. These findings further establish the role of the dislocations in controlling the superior mechanical response and excellent fracture toughness of the NiCoCr MEA. Systematic transmission-electron microscopy tests performed on the [111]-oriented crystals, deformed at different strain levels, at room temperature provide clear evidence of both the extended stacking-fault and the stair rods, confirming the predicted microstructural features. Finally, this study offers key insights into the complex nucleation mechanisms of deformation twinning and ε-martensite, such as twinning – and transformation–induced plasticity (TWIP-TRIP), providing valuable guidelines for studying similar material classes.

Low Melting Temperature Gallium–Indium Liquid Metal Anode for Solid-State Li-Ion Batteries

Solid-state Li-ion batteries are attracting attention for their enhanced safety features, higher energy density, and broader operational temperature range compared to systems based on liquid electrolytes. However, current solid-state Li-ion batteries face performance challenges, such as suboptimal cycling and poor rate capabilities, often due to inadequate interfacial contact between the solid electrolyte and electrodes. To address this issue, we incorporated a gallium–indium (Ga–In) liquid metal as the anode in a solid-state Li-ion battery setup, employing Li 6 PS 5 Cl as the solid electrolyte. Operating at room temperature, this configuration achieved an initial capacity of 389 mAh g –1 and maintained 88% of this capacity after 30 cycles at a 0.05 C rate. It also demonstrated a capacity retention of 66% after 500 cycles at a 0.5 C rate. In comparison to solid anode materials, such as tin, the Ga–In liquid metal exhibited superior cycling stability and rate capacity, which is due to the self-healing and fluid properties of the alloy that ensure stable interfacial contact with solid electrolytes. In situ X-ray diffraction (XRD) and ex situ scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyses revealed that indium does not directly participate in the lithiation/delithiation process. Instead, it helps maintain the alloy’s low melting point, facilitating its return to a liquid state after delithiation. In a comparative analysis of stack pressure during cycling in cells utilizing Ga–In liquid metal and tin, the Ga–In liquid metal cell demonstrated an ability to buffer pressure increases associated with deformation. In conclusion, these findings suggest a promising approach for enhancing solid-state batteries by integrating liquid metal anodes, which improve interfacial contact and stability.

Electrostatic Gating of Ionic Conductance through Heterogeneous van der Waals Nanopores

Nanofluidic ionic transistors typically require gate voltages above 1 V and operate only at submillimolar ionic strengths, limiting their biocompatible applications. We demonstrate ionic transistors consisting of single sub-10 nm nanopores drilled in van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures with internal gate electrodes made of few-layer graphene. These devices deliver up to 10-fold current modulation at gate voltages as low as 0.3 V in 10 mM KCl, and ∼2-fold modulation at near-physiological 100 mM KCl. Baseline conductance with no gate shows surface-charge-dominated transport below 100 mM KCl, consistent with negatively charged hBN walls and ∼5 nm opening of the pores. The surface charge and the electrochemical asymmetry introduced by the three-electrode configuration govern the device’s behavior: negative gate voltage (V G ) enriches ionic concentrations and enhances current, whereas positive V G induces a local depletion zone that suppresses transport. The current modulation by V G is dependent on the polarity of the transmembrane potential and leads to ion current rectification. Molecular dynamics simulations of a nanopore in a hBN–graphene–hBN stack reveal confinement and surface charge-dependent suppression of the relative permittivity of interfacial water. Continuum modeling with radially varying interfacial water permittivity reproduces the asymmetric I–V characteristics and explains how the embedded gate sculpts local potential and ion concentrations. By enabling sub-0.5 V control of ionic transport at up to 100 mM salt concentrations, these devices address a key need in nanofluidics to create low-power ionic circuits and biosensing.

Heterostructural interface engineering for ultrawide-gap nitrides from first principles: Ta C / Al N and Ta C / Ga N rocksalt-wurtzite interfaces

Epitaxial lattice matching is an important condition for the formation of coherent interfaces with low defect densities. However, lattice-matched substrates with the same crystal structure as the active layer are often not available, suggesting opportunities for utilizing heterostructural interfaces. For example, at high Al contents that are interesting for ultrawide-gap applications in power electronics, Al x ⁢Ga 1-x ⁢N semiconductor alloys in the (0001) orientation of the wurtzite (wz) structure become lattice-matched to (111)-oriented rocksalt (rs) Ta⁢C substrates. To predict the expected interface atomic structures under different synthesis conditions, we perform high-throughput density-functional-theory calculations, using an algorithm for systematic sampling of the possible stacking sequences of the atomic layers on the in-plane hexagonal lattice. The approach considers octahedral, tetrahedral, and prismatic coordination motifs, and is generally applicable for the modeling of commensurate rs/wz heterostructural interfaces. Our results provide guidance for synthesis control of substrate-film bonding and the polarity of ultrawide-gap Al x⁢ Ga 1-x⁢ N alloys on Ta⁢C substrates.

Turbo‐charging crop improvement: harnessing multiplex editing for polygenic trait engineering and beyond

Multiplex CRISPR editing has emerged as a transformative platform for plant genome engineering, enabling the simultaneous targeting of multiple genes, regulatory elements, or chromosomal regions. This approach is effective for dissecting gene family functions, addressing genetic redundancy, engineering polygenic traits, and accelerating trait stacking and de novo domestication. Its applications now extend beyond standard gene knockouts to include epigenetic and transcriptional regulation, chromosomal engineering, and transgene‐free editing. These capabilities are advancing crop improvement not only in annual species but also in more complex systems such as polyploids, undomesticated wild relatives, and species with long generation times. At the same time, multiplex editing presents technical challenges, including complex construct design and the need for robust, scalable mutation detection. We discuss current toolkits and recent innovations in vector architecture, such as promoter and scaffold engineering, that streamline workflows and enhance editing efficiency. High‐throughput sequencing technologies, including long‐read platforms, are improving the resolution of complex editing outcomes such as structural rearrangements—often missed by standard genotyping—when targeting repetitive or tandemly spaced loci. To fully realize the potential of multiplex genome engineering, there is growing demand for user‐friendly, synthetic biology‐compatible, and scalable computational workflows for gRNA design, construct assembly, and mutation analysis. Experimentally validated inducible or tissue‐specific promoters are also highly desirable for achieving spatiotemporal control. As these tools continue to evolve, multiplex CRISPR editing is poised to become a foundational technology of next‐generation crop improvement to address challenges in agriculture, sustainability, and climate resilience.

Fractional Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect

The realization of the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect (FQAHE) in a zero-field fractional Chern insulator is a new advancement in condensed matter physics, resulting from the interplay among strong correlations, topology, and spontaneous time-reversal symmetry breaking in lattice systems. In this review, we highlight the experimental and theoretical progress toward achieving FQAHE in two material platforms: twisted bilayer MoTe 2 and rhombohedral-stacked multilayer graphene. These systems host narrow topological bands with nontrivial Chern numbers, enabling interaction-driven fractionalized states analogous to the fractional quantum Hall effect, but without external magnetic fields. We discuss how spontaneous ferromagnetism, moiré lattice reconstruction, and band topological effects underpin the emergence of FQAHE in twisted MoTe 2 . We describe experimental discoveries of zero-field fractional Chern insulators in both transport and optical experiments, as well as signatures of composite Fermi liquids and higher-energy Chern band, which may shed light on engineering nonabelian states. In rhombohedral graphene/hexagonal boron nitride moiré superlattices, we review the recent observations of fractionally quantized Hall resistance, connections between FQAHE and extended quantum anomalous Hall phases, and the coexistence of superconductivity and FQAHE. Furthermore, these discoveries not only deepen our understanding of strongly correlated topological matter but also open new frontiers for exploring nonabelian anyons, fault-tolerant quantum computation, and topological opto-spintronics free of magnetic fields.
