An encoded asymmetric ligand for metal-selective topological assembly of two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks

Two-dimensional metal-organic frameworks (2D MOFs), with diverse topological architectures, provide a powerful platform for exploring unconventional electronic and lattice-dynamical responses. Yet their structural diversity remains fundamentally constrained by the fixed geometry of high-symmetry ligands. Here, we introduce an encoded asymmetric ligand, benzo[b]triphenylene-2,3,6,7,11,12-hexaol (BTH), for metal-selective topological assembly. By integrating multi-site coordination fields with sterically differentiated environments, BTH exhibits distinct topological programmability: different divalent metal ions direct divergent framework architectures. Specifically, coordination of BTH with divalent Cu(II) and Zn(II) ions assembles Cu-BTH-MOF with a dual-mode hexagonal pore topology and Zn-BTH-MOF with uniform hexagonal channels, respectively, as supported by PXRD Pawley refinement, structural simulations, and pore-size distribution analysis. Furthermore, this topological divergence is accompanied by a significant divergence in charge-transport properties, with Cu-BTH-MOF reaching an electrical conductivity of 1.186 x 10-3 S cm-1, more than six orders of magnitude higher than that of Zn-BTH-MOF (3.38 x 10-10 S cm-1). This work establishes ligand desymmetrization as a programmable strategy for metal-selective topological diversification in 2D MOFs.

Mode-Specific Dynamics of $\text{CO}_2$ Hydrogenation on Copper: The Hidden Role of Molecular Rotation

Catalytic hydrogenation of $\text{CO}_2$ to formate on copper is a key elementary step for $\text{CO}_2$ utilization. Previous experimental and theoretical studies suggested an Eley-Rideal mechanism for this reaction, promoted by bending vibrational excitation, yet direct state resolved evidence remains lacking. Here, we present first-principles dynamical predictions for $\text{CO}_2$ hydrogenation on Cu(111) based on an accurate full-dimensional neural network potential energy surface. Our calculations near-quantitatively reproduce the measured reaction probabilities, including their nozzle-temperature and incidence-energy dependence. Our state-resolved results indicate that while vibrational excitation of the bending mode enhances reactivity, it alone cannot account for the observed reactivity increase with nozzle temperature. Instead, rotational excitation plays a dominant role, mainly attributable to the significant change in anisotropy of the molecular polar orientation as $\text{CO}_2$ accesses the transition state. This mode-specific insight reinforces the hidden role of rotation in surface reactivity, opening new avenues for state-selective control of $\text{CO}_2$ hydrogenation on heterogenous catalysts.

Measures and generalizations of dual Littlewood identities

We introduce three families of vectors $|\underline{\lambda}^{so}\rangle$, $|\underline{\lambda}^{sp}\rangle$ and $|\underline{\lambda}^{o}\rangle$ parametrized by partitions in the Fock space by using products of adjoint vertex operators. We show that the quotient space of the dual vacuum vector is spanned by the partition vectors indexed by a special family of partitions. The partition-indexed vectors also help us to derive the dual Littlewood identities of types B, C, and D in a new manner associated to the special family of partitions. As an application, we obtain a new free fermionic construction to show that the measures related to dual Littlewood identities introduced by Rains \cite[Section 7]{Rai2000} and Betea \cite[Section 3]{Be2020} are determinantal with repect to some explicit correlation kernels. Furthermore we establish a number of generalized Littlewood identities summed over certain restricted partitions by computing the inner products with elements indexed by one-column partitions {or generalized partitions $(0^m)$} in the complete dual Fock space. {In particular, for each positive integer $n$, we obtain generalized Littlewood identities for $(-n)$-asymmetric partitions. We show that these generalized Littlewood identities contain several well-known Littlewood-type identities as special cases. Consequently we also give a new proof of the generalized Littlewood identity \cite[(5.25)]{LSV2008} for Lie superalgebras. } %We also produce infinite generalized Littlewood identities by calculating the inner products between these elements and some elements indexed by one-column partitions in the complete dual Fock space.

RUFNet: Query-Guided Support Mask Refinement and Uncertainty Fusion based on Hybrid Mamba for Few-Shot Brain Tumor Segmentation

Few-shot brain tumor segmentation remains challenging due to noisy support masks, inter-patient variations between support and query images, and the lack of pixel-wise confidence estimation. This study proposes RUFNet, a Hybrid Mamba-based few-shot framework that combines support mask refinement with uncertainty-aware posterior fusion. To preserve support-query dependencies with manageable cost, RUFNet adopts a Hybrid Mamba interaction backbone with linear complexity. To reduce support-mask noise, an Attention-Guided Mask Refinement module (AGMR) uses query features to recalibrate support masks and improve prototype consistency. To handle ambiguous predictions, an Uncertainty-Aware Posterior Fusion module (UAPF) estimates pixel-wise variance and adaptively balances few-shot predictions with query-aligned priors. On the Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge (BraTS) 2020 dataset, RUFNet achieves Dice coefficients of 84.3% and 86.1% in the 1-way 1-shot and 1-way 5-shot settings, respectively, outperforming the compared state-of-the-art methods. These results suggest that Hybrid Mamba interaction, mask refinement and uncertainty modelling can improve the robustness of few-shot medical image segmentation.

JuZhou 1.0 Technical Report: The First Edge-Native Text-to-Image Foundation Model Trained Entirely on China-Developed AI Accelerators

Text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models typically require substantial computational resources and cloud infrastructure, posing significant challenges for edge deployment in terms of latency, cost, and user privacy. We present JuZhou 1.0, an ultra-lightweight T2I foundation model designed for fully offline, on-device execution. JuZhou 1.0 achieves its efficiency through four key designs: (1) a compact image-generation backbone consisting of a 0.385B-parameter denoising U-Net and a 1.90M-parameter distilled decoder, totaling approximately 0.387B parameters; (2) Rectified Flow training combined with DMD2 distillation, reducing inference to 4 sampling steps; (3) Chinese semantic alignment trained on 9M curated image-text pairs, enabling direct Chinese prompting without external translation at inference time; and (4) a training and distillation pipeline completed on domestically developed Sugon K100 AI accelerators without relying on NVIDIA GPUs for training or distillation. Despite its compact scale, the 28-step base model of JuZhou 1.0 achieves an overall GenEval score of 0.69, outperforming published baselines including SDXL (2.6B, 0.55), SD3-Medium (2B, 0.62), and IF-XL (4.3B, 0.61). We further validate the full poetry-to-image pipeline on Android and the core CLIP-U-Net-VAE generation branch on iOS. On a smartphone powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, the 4-step U-Net denoising branch runs in approximately 1.6 seconds, while the full Android poetry-to-image pipeline takes 4.5 seconds with on-device prompt refinement on Xiaomi 17 Pro Max. These results position JuZhou 1.0 as a practical approach to mobile text-to-image generation and provide a concrete reference for Chinese-native generation, domestic-compute training, and fully offline on-device deployment after one-time installation.

PCASim: Promptable Closed-loop Adversarial Simulation for Urban Traffic Environment

Real-world autonomous driving, particularly in urban environments with numerous corner cases, requires rigorous testing to ensure product safety and robustness. However, few studies have explored integrating adversarial scenario generation with the training of safety agents in closed-loop testing, enabling efficient co-evolution and mutual enhancement of both. To address this challenge, an adversarial behavior knowledge repository is constructed by applying rule-based filtering to an open-source dataset, combined with knowledge retrieval modules tailored for simulation environments. A large language model (LLM) is employed to integrate knowledge-, data-, and adversarial-driven approaches, generating safety-critical traffic scenarios customized to user needs. Additionally, while evaluating the generated scenarios, we employ reinforcement learning models to train the behaviors of different types of vehicles, thereby enriching scenario diversity beyond existing datasets while preserving realism. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed framework improves the accuracy of domain-specific language generation by 12\%. Moreover, the success rate of newly generated scenario transformations increases by 8\%, while obstacle-avoidance capability is enhanced by 30\%.

Multi-proposal Collaboration and Multi-task Training for Weakly-supervised Video Moment Retrieval

This study focuses on weakly-supervised Video Moment Retrieval (VMR), aiming to identify a moment semantically similar to the given query within an untrimmed video using only video-level correspondences, without relying on temporal annotations during training. Previous methods either aggregate predictions for all instances in the video, or indirectly address the task by proposing reconstructions for the query. However, these methods often produce low-quality temporal proposals, struggle with distinguishing misaligned moments in the same video, or lack stability due to a reliance on a single auxiliary task. To address these limitations, we present a novel weakly-supervised method called Multi-proposal Collaboration and Multi-task Training (MCMT). Initially, we generate multiple proposals and derive corresponding learnable Gaussian masks from them. These masks are then combined to create a high-quality positive sample mask, highlighting video clips most relevant to the query. Concurrently, we classify other clips in the same video as the easy negative sample and the entire video as the hard negative sample. During training, we introduce forward and inverse masked query reconstruction tasks to impose more substantial constraints on the network, promoting more robust and stable retrieval performance. Extensive experiments on two standard benchmarks affirm the effectiveness of the proposed method in VMR.

CFSPMNet: Cross-subject Fourier-guided Spatial-Patch Mamba Network for EEG Motor Imagery Decoding in Stroke Patients

Motor imagery electroencephalography (MI-EEG) decoding offers a non-invasive route for post-stroke rehabilitation, but cross-patient use remains difficult because pathological neural reorganization changes task-related EEG dynamics, aperiodic activity, local excitability, cross-regional coordination, and trial-level brain-state context. This makes source-learned MI representations unreliable for unseen patients. To address this problem, we propose CFSPMNet, a cross-patient adaptation framework that models post-stroke MI-EEG as latent neural-state organization. CFSPMNet combines a Fourier-Reorganized State Mamba Network (FRSM) with Shared-Private Prototype Matching (SPPM). FRSM represents each trial as a latent physiological token sequence, reorganizes token states in the Fourier domain, and uses Fourier-derived trial context to guide Mamba state-space propagation. SPPM improves target pseudo-label updating by combining semantic confidence with shared-private physiological consistency, filtering confident but physiologically inconsistent target predictions. Leave-one-subject-out experiments on two stroke MI-EEG datasets show that CFSPMNet outperforms representative CNN-, Transformer-, Mamba-, and adaptation-based baselines, achieving average accuracies of 68.23% on XW-Stroke and 73.33% on 2019-Stroke, with gains of 5.63 and 8.25 percentage points over the strongest competitors. Ablation, sensitivity, feature-alignment, pseudo-label selection, and neurophysiological visualization analyses further support the roles of Fourier-domain token-state reorganization and calibrated pseudo-label updating. These results suggest that latent neural-state modeling can improve rehabilitation-oriented cross-patient BCI decoding. Code is available at https://github.com/wxk1224/CFSPMNet.

Inertial-Range Energy Transfer Free from Isotropic Assumption in Turbulent Space Plasma

The idea of an energy cascade in the inertial range is often invoked in turbulent space plasmas to estimate the energy dissipation rate. Laws governing the behavior of third-order structure functions in the inertial range, so-called third-order laws, are among the few rigorous theoretical results quantifying cross-scale energy transfer. The widely used third-order-law derived rate assumes isotropy, which fundamentally conflicts with the anisotropic nature of space plasmas. Elementary questions persist regarding how such anisotropic energy cascades can be quantified using multi-spacecraft constellations. As the heliospheric community increasingly progresses towards multi-spacecraft, multi-scale constellations, such as Plasma Observatory and HelioSwarm, we revisit these crucial issues pertinent to accurately measuring the inertial-range energy transfer. Here we make a systematic comparison between two methods: direction-averaging (DA) and lag polyhedral derivative ensemble (LPDE) to determine the full three-dimensional (3D) dependence of cross-scale energy transfer. We find that DA exhibits both polar and azimuthal dependence, but is insensitive to spacecraft configuration. By contrast, LPDE is strongly affected by spacecraft separation and tetrahedral shape, while being comparatively insensitive to the sampling trajectory. Our findings have direct implications for current and future multi-spacecraft missions. Both DA and LPDE will provide crucial information on the nature of turbulence in space and astrophysics.

Atomic-scale origin of charge density wave-driven metal-semiconductor transition in an incommensurately modulated metal-organic framework

The intrinsic incommensurate charge density wave in metal-organic frameworks has remained elusive due to the lack of direct evidence linking atomic-scale structural modulation to macroscopic electronic properties. Using high-quality Pr3HHTP2 (HHTP = 2,3,6,7,10,11-hexahydroxytriphenylene) single crystals as a model system, we precisely resolve, for the first time, the incommensurately modulated structure of a conductive metal-organic framework at 100 K (modulation vector q = 0.39143(12) c*) via temperature-dependent single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The subsequent observation of a reversible metal-semiconductor transition around 350 K, which perfectly synchronizes with the disappearance of the structural modulation, provides convincing evidence for the electronic origin of the lattice distortion. Guest water molecules stabilize the modulated phase by synergistically regulating the relative rotation of the linkers and the interlayer spacing, thereby optimizing the inter-linker interactions. This work establishes a concrete experimental criterion for one-dimensional charge density wave in metal-organic frameworks and provides an ideal platform for probing coupled electronic-lattice modulations.

GAMMA-Net: Adaptive Long-Horizon Traffic Spatio-Temporal Forecasting Model based on Interleaved Graph Attention and Multi-Axis Mamba

Accurate traffic forecasting is crucial for intelligent transportation systems, supporting effective traffic management, congestion reduction, and informed urban planning. However, traditional models often fail to adequately capture the intricate spatio-temporal dependencies present in traffic data. To overcome these limitations, we introduce GAMMA-Net, a novel approach that integrates Graph Attention Networks (GAT) with multi-axis Selective State Space Models (Mamba). The GAT component uses a self-attention mechanism to dynamically adjust the influence of nodes within the traffic network, enabling adaptive spatial dependency modeling based on real-time conditions. Simultaneously, the Mamba module efficiently models long-term temporal and spatial dynamics without the heavy computational cost of conventional recurrent architectures. Extensive experiments on several benchmark traffic datasets, including METR-LA, PEMS-BAY, PEMS03, PEMS04, PEMS07, and PEMS08, show that GAMMA-Net consistently outperforms existing state-of-the-art models across different prediction horizons, achieving up to a 16.25% reduction in Mean Absolute Error (MAE) compared to baseline models. Ablation studies highlight the critical contributions of both the spatial and temporal components, emphasizing their complementary role in improving prediction accuracy. In conclusion, the GAMMA-Net model sets a new standard in traffic forecasting, offering a powerful tool for next-generation traffic management and urban planning.

PA-TCNet: Pathology-Aware Temporal Calibration with Physiology-Guided Target Refinement for Cross-Subject Motor Imagery EEG Decoding in Stroke Patients

Stroke patient cross-subject electroencephalography (EEG) decoding of motor imagery (MI) brain-computer interface (BCI) is essential for motor rehabilitation, yet lesion-related abnormal temporal dynamics and pronounced inter-patient heterogeneity often undermine generalization. Existing adaptation methods are easily misled by pathological slow-wave activity and unstable target-domain pseudo-labels. To address this challenge, we propose PA-TCNet, a pathology-aware temporal calibration framework with physiology-guided target refinement for stroke motor imagery decoding. PA-TCNet integrates two coordinated components. The Pathology-aware Rhythmic State Mamba (PRSM) module decomposes EEG spatiotemporal features into slowly varying rhythmic context and fast transient perturbations, injecting the fused pathological context into selective state propagation to more effectively capture abnormal temporal dynamics. The Physiology-Guided Target Calibration (PGTC) module constructs source-domain sensorimotor region-of-interest templates, imposing physiological consistency constraints and dynamically refining target-domain pseudo-labels, thereby improving adaptation reliability. Leave-one-subject-out experiments on two independent stroke EEG datasets, XW-Stroke and 2019-Stroke, yielded mean accuracies of 66.56\% and 72.75\%, respectively, outperforming state-of-the-art baselines. These results indicate that jointly modeling pathological temporal dynamics and physiology-constrained pseudo-supervision can provide more robust cross-subject initialization for personalized post-stroke MI-BCI rehabilitation.

Stability and Robustness of Tensor-Coupled Flow-Conservation Dynamical Systems on Hypergraphs

This paper develops an entropy-based stability and robustness framework for nonlinear hypergraph dynamics with conservation and flow balance. We consider generator-form systems on the simplex whose state-dependent transition rates capture higher-order (tensor) interactions among nodes. Under a tensor generalized detailed-balance (TGDB) condition, we show that the system admits a unique equilibrium and an entropy Lyapunov function ensuring global asymptotic stability. The Jacobian restricted to the tangent subspace of the simplex is Hurwitz, and its spectral gap determines the exponential convergence rate. Building on this structure, we derive first-order sensitivity bounds of the equilibrium under perturbations of the coupling tensor and establish a local input-to-state stability (ISS) estimate with respect to external inputs. The results reveal a quantitative link between the spectral gap and the system's robustness margin: larger spectral gaps imply smaller equilibrium shifts and faster recovery under structural or parametric perturbations. Numerical experiments on tensor-coupled flow models confirm the theoretical predictions and illustrate how the proposed entropy-dissipating framework unifies stability and robustness analysis for conservative higher-order network systems.

Prospect Theoretic Approach to Pursuit-evasion Differential Games with Risk Aversion and Probability Sensitivity

This paper considers for the first time pursuit-evasion (PE) differential games with irrational perceptions of both pursuer and evader on probabilistic characteristics of environmental uncertainty. Firstly, the irrational perceptions of risk aversion and probability sensitivity are modeled and incorporated within a Bayesian PE differential game framework by using Cumulative Prospect Theory (CPT) approach; Secondly, several sufficient conditions of capturability are established in terms of system dynamics and irrational parameters; Finally, the existence of CPT-Nash equilibria is rigorously analyzed by invoking Brouwer's fixed-point theorem. The new results reveal that irrational behaviors benefit the pursuer in some cases and the evader in others. Certain captures that are unachievable under rational behaviors can be achieved under irrational ones. By bridging irrational behavioral theory with game-theoretic control, this framework establishes a rigorous theoretical foundation for practical control engineering within complex human-machine systems.

Constructing Exceptional Knots and Links with Arbitrary Braiding Topology

Exceptional knots and links represent a remarkable class of non-Hermitian metals in which exceptional degeneracies form knotted or linked manifolds in momentum space. Here, we report a universal construction framework for realizing exceptional knots and links with arbitrary braiding topology in 3D minimal two-band non-Hermitian systems. Our approach combines braid theory with semiholomorphic polynomials to establish a direct correspondence between braid words and non-Hermitian Bloch Hamiltonians. This framework enables the realization of a broad variety of exceptional configurations, including torus knots, lemniscate knots, nonfibred knots, hyperbolic knots, and multi-component links, within explicit tight-binding Hamiltonians. Furthermore, we demonstrate controllable topological transitions in which exceptional knots can be continuously untied through redistribution and reconnection of exceptional points, accompanied by transient exceptional chains and changes in spectral complex energy braiding. Our results establish a universal route toward programmable non-Hermitian knot topology and provide a versatile platform for exploring knotted band degeneracies and their associated physical phenomena across photonic, acoustic, mechanical, and cold-atom systems.

EEG-Based Brain-LLM Interface for Human Preference Aligned Generation

Large language models (LLMs) are becoming an increasingly important component of human--computer interaction, enabling users to coordinate a wide range of intelligent agents through natural language. While language-based interfaces are powerful and flexible, they implicitly assume that users can reliably produce explicit linguistic input, an assumption that may not hold for users with speech or motor impairments, e.g., Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). In this work, we investigate whether neural signals can be used as an alternative input to LLMs, particularly to support those socially marginalized or underserved users. We build a simple brain-LLM interface, which uses EEG signals to guide image generation models at test time. Specifically, we first train a classifier to estimate user satisfaction from EEG signals. Its predictions are then incorporated into a test-time scaling (TTS) framework that dynamically adapts model inference using neural feedback collected during user evaluation. The experiments show that EEG can predict user satisfaction, suggesting that neural activity carries information on real-time preference inference. These findings provide a first step toward integrating neural feedback into adaptive language-model inference, and hopefully open up new possibilities for future research on adaptive LLM interaction.

Non-Invasive Reconstruction of Intracranial EEG Across the Deep Temporal Lobe from Scalp EEG based on Conditional Normalizing Flow

Although obtaining deep brain activity from non-invasive scalp electroencephalography (sEEG) is crucial for neuroscience and clinical diagnosis, directly generating high-fidelity intracranial electroencephalography (iEEG) signals remains a largely unexplored field, limiting our understanding of deep brain dynamics. Current research primarily focuses on traditional signal processing or source localization methods, which struggle to capture the complex waveforms and random characteristics of iEEG. To address this critical challenge, this paper introduces NeuroFlowNet, a novel cross-modal generative framework whose core contribution lies in the first-ever reconstruction of iEEG signals from the entire deep temporal lobe region using sEEG signals. NeuroFlowNet is built on Conditional Normalizing Flow (CNF), which directly models complex conditional probability distributions through reversible transformations, thereby explicitly capturing the randomness of brain signals and fundamentally avoiding the pattern collapse issues common in existing generative models. Additionally, the model integrates a multi-scale architecture and self-attention mechanisms to robustly capture fine-grained temporal details and long-range dependencies. Validation results on a publicly available synchronized sEEG-iEEG dataset demonstrate NeuroFlowNet's effectiveness in terms of temporal waveform fidelity, spectral feature reproduction, and functional connectivity restoration. This study establishes a more reliable and scalable new paradigm for non-invasive analysis of deep brain dynamics. The code of this study is available in https://github.com/hdy6438/NeuroFlowNet

Angular dependence of third-order law in anisotropic MHD turbulence

In solar wind turbulence, the energy transfer/dissipation rate is typically estimated using MHD third-order structure functions calculated using spacecraft observations. However, the inherent anisotropy of solar wind turbulence leads to significant variations in structure functions along different observational directions, thereby affecting the accuracy of energy-dissipation rate estimation. An unresolved issue is how to optimise the selection of observation angles under limited directional sampling to improve estimation precision. We conduct a series of MHD turbulence simulations with different mean magnetic field strengths, $ B_0 $. Our analysis of the third-order structure functions reveals that the global energy dissipation rate estimated around a polar angle of $ \theta = 60^\circ$ agrees reasonably with the exact one for $ 0 \le B_0/b_{rms} \le 5 $, where $b_{rms}$ denotes the root-mean-square magnetic field fluctuation. The speciality of $60^\circ$ polar angle can be understood by the Mean Value Theorem of Integrals, since the spherical integral of the polar-angle component ($\widetilde{T_\theta}$) of the divergence of Yaglom flux is zero, and $\widetilde{T_\theta}$ changes sign around 60$^\circ$. Existing theory on the energy flux vector as a function of the polar angle is assessed, and supports the speciality of $60^\circ$ polar angle. The angular dependence of the third-order structure functions is further assessed with virtual spacecraft data analysis. The present results can be applied to measure the turbulent dissipation rates of energy in the solar wind, which are of potential importance to other areas in which turbulence takes place, such as laboratory plasmas and astrophysics.
