Giant bulk photovoltaic effect driven by interfacial symmetry breaking in MoS2/Ta2NiSe5 heterostructures

Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures offer a versatile platform for engineering unconventional bulk photovoltaic (BPV) effect through interfacial symmetry breaking. However, the coexistence of multiple photophysical mechanisms, driven by structural complexity, spontaneous charge transfer, and strong interlayer coupling, often obscures the microscopic origin of the BPV response and hinders its rational optimization. Here, we demonstrate a pronounced BPV effect localized at the overlap region of a cross-bar MoS2/Ta2NiSe5 vdW heterostructure, where symmetry breaking induced by vertical stacking lifts the inversion center of MoS2. The orthogonal device geometry enables the independent probing of intralayer and interfacial photoresponse pathways, facilitating clear separation of competing mechanisms. Spontaneous interfacial charge transfer between MoS2 and Ta2NiSe5 further establishes a strong interlayer electronic coupling. By modulating the interlayer potential landscape through gate voltage and vertical electric fields, we achieve an optimized zero-bias photocurrent density of 247 A/cm2 and a BPV coefficient of 0.99 V-1. Supported by theoretical modelling, our results illustrate how minimalist device geometry can transform complex heterostructures into experimentally tractable platforms. This strategy paves the way for analyzing and optimizing interface-driven BPV effect, with implications for self-powered optoelectronics, broadband photodetection, and energy-harvesting nanodevices.

DADP: Domain Adaptive Diffusion Policy

Learning domain adaptive policies that can generalize to unseen transition dynamics, remains a fundamental challenge in learning-based control. Substantial progress has been made through domain representation learning to capture domain-specific information, thus enabling domain-aware decision making. We analyze the process of learning domain representations through dynamical prediction and find that selecting contexts adjacent to the current step causes the learned representations to entangle static domain information with varying dynamical properties. Such mixture can confuse the conditioned policy, thereby constraining zero-shot adaptation. To tackle the challenge, we propose DADP (Domain Adaptive Diffusion Policy), which achieves robust adaptation through unsupervised disentanglement and domain-aware diffusion injection. First, we introduce Lagged Context Dynamical Prediction, a strategy that conditions future state estimation on a historical offset context; by increasing this temporal gap, we unsupervisedly disentangle static domain representations by filtering out transient properties. Second, we integrate the learned domain representations directly into the generative process by biasing the prior distribution and reformulating the diffusion target. Extensive experiments on challenging benchmarks across locomotion and manipulation demonstrate the superior performance, and the generalizability of DADP over prior methods.

SwarmPRM: Probabilistic Roadmap Motion Planning for Large-Scale Swarm Robotic Systems

Large-scale swarm robotic systems consisting of numerous cooperative agents show considerable promise for performing autonomous tasks across various sectors. Nonetheless, traditional motion planning approaches often face a trade-off between scalability and solution quality due to the exponential growth of the joint state space of robots. In response, this work proposes SwarmPRM, a hierarchical, scalable, computationally efficient, and risk-aware sampling-based motion planning approach for large-scale swarm robots. SwarmPRM utilizes a Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) to represent the swarm's macroscopic state and constructs a Probabilistic Roadmap in Gaussian space, referred to as the Gaussian roadmap, to generate a transport trajectory of GMM. This trajectory is then followed by each robot at the microscopic stage. To enhance trajectory safety, SwarmPRM incorporates the conditional value-at-risk (CVaR) in the collision checking process to impart the property of risk awareness to the constructed Gaussian roadmap. SwarmPRM then crafts a linear programming formulation to compute the optimal GMM transport trajectory within this roadmap. Extensive simulations demonstrate that SwarmPRM outperforms state-of-the-art methods in computational efficiency, scalability, and trajectory quality while offering the capability to adjust the risk tolerance of generated trajectories.
