ClinRAG-GRAPH: Clinical-prior Retrieval-Augmented Graph Model with Domain Adversarial Learning for Breast pCR Prediction

Neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) response prediction is clinically important for treatment stratification in breast cancer. However, robust pre-treatment pathological complete response (pCR) prediction remains challenging due to insufficient cross-modal modeling, multicenter imaging heterogeneity, and weak evidence-grounded interpretability. We propose ClinRAG-GRAPH, a Clinically informed Retrieval-Augmented Generation Graph framework, for pre-treatment pCR prediction from DCE-MRI, structured clinical variables, and biopsy-derived pathological biomarkers. ClinRAG-GRAPH constructs an intra-patient clinical-prior graph and applies a prior-guided relation-aware graph convolutional network for structured multimodal representation learning. To improve cross-center robustness, we introduce a dual-branch domain-adversarial learning strategy to suppress protocol-related MRI bias while preserving pCR-relevant features. To enhance interpretability, we further incorporate large language model (LLM)-driven subgraph RAG module that retrieves clinically analogous historical cases and integrates retrieved evidence for pCR inference. We assemble a large-scale multicenter NAC breast cancer cohort for extensive validation, drawing from two public sources and three in-house centers.Results show that ClinRAG-GRAPH achieves AUCs of 0.815 on the internal test set and 0.774/0.712 on two external test sets, demonstrating robust pre-treatment pCR prediction across centers. The code is available at the anonymized https://github.com/miccai26-1181/ClinRAG-GRAPH.

Electrically Programmable Correlated Topology and Magnetism in a Moiré Trilayer

Strong electron-electron interactions underlie a wide range of quantum many-body phenomena, including magnetism, superconductivity, and charge fractionalization. A central goal is to achieve in situ control over lattice geometry, bandwidth, and band topology within a single platform. Here we realize such an electrically programmable quantum many-body system in an alternating twisted trilayer MoTe$_2$, where an out-of-plane displacement field continuously modifies the layer polarization, effective lattice, and topology of the moiré bands. At zero displacement field, the system realizes a triangular lattice hosting a correlated insulator at one hole per moiré unit cell ($ν= -1$). Doping this state produces strongly asymmetric magnetic responses: double-exchange-like ferromagnetism for $|ν| > 1$, and signatures of spin polarons and antiferromagnetism for $|ν| < 1$. At large displacement field, interlayer hybridization reconstructs the electronic structure into a honeycomb lattice with a flat Chern band, supporting integer and fractional Chern insulators. Magneto-optical measurements further reveal the signatures of gap closure and Landau-level formation from a spin-polarized Fermi surface near the crossover between the two regimes. These results establish a unified, electrically tunable platform in which correlated magnetism and topological states emerge from a single controllable band structure.

TaCauchy: An Extensible FEM Framework for Vision-Based Tactile Simulation

Vision-based tactile sensors require high-fidelity simulation for reinforcement learning, yet existing approaches struggle to provide accurate mechanical stress fields within GPU-accelerated robotics platforms. We present TaCauchy, an extensible Finite Element Method (FEM) framework that integrates rigorous physics-based force computation into Isaac Sim. Built on the Unified Incremental Potential Contact (UIPC) solver, TaCauchy directly computes Cauchy stress tensors from hyperelastic constitutive laws and projects them onto contact surfaces to obtain traction forces and pressure distributions, providing mechanical ground truth from first principles rather than empirical estimation. Our framework features automatic mesh generation with geometry-aware adaptive refinement and a modular sensor interface enabling rapid integration of diverse sensors (GelSight Mini, DIGIT, 9DTact) with minimal configuration. Performance benchmarks demonstrate 33.40 FPS for single environments and 555 FPS aggregate throughput across 60 parallel environments, with stress extraction overhead under 1 ms. Physical validation experiments show strong agreement between simulated and real tactile responses across force ranges from 1.2556 N to 4.7332 N, achieving SSIM above 0.93, confirming the framework's capability to provide accurate, physically-grounded force supervision for downstream robotic manipulation tasks.

Evolution of the intertwining correlated topological phases in iron-based superconductor Fe(Te,Se)

Multiple topological electronic phases can coexist within a single quantum material and induce different topological superconducting states, offering deeper insights into interplay of topological superconducting states and Majorana modes, which may also be influenced and modified by correlation effect. Iron-based superconductors, with both topological states and correlation effect, is an ideal platform to study these phenomena. Here, with high resolution angle resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, we directly resolve two distinct intertwining topological states in iron-based superconductor Co-doped Fe(Te,Se), and study their evolution with electron doping. We identify a region where both topological insulator surface states and topological Dirac semimetal states intersect the Fermi level. The topological states are affected by the strong correlation effect and are isolated from trivial bulk states. The evolution between distinct topological phases offers a good opportunity to study various Majorana modes from different superconducting phases according to theoretical analysis. Our findings establish an ideal platform for exploring the interaction between multiple topological superconducting states and the related Majorana modes.

Semantic-Enriched Latent Visual Reasoning

Multimodal latent-space reasoning aims to replace explicit thinking with images by performing visual reasoning directly in a compact latent space. However, existing approaches largely rely on visual supervision and produce latent representations that lack sufficient semantic richness, limiting their ability to support diverse region-level reasoning tasks. In this work, we introduce Semantic-Enriched Latent Visual Reasoning (SLVR), a two-stage learning framework that enriches latent representations with attribute-level visual semantics and aligns them with diverse reasoning objectives. In the first stage, SLVR learns semantically enriched region-centric latents under fine-grained attribute supervision. In the second stage, we design Multi-query Group Relative Policy Optimization (M-GRPO) to align latent representations across multiple queries grounded in the same region. To support this framework, we construct SLV-Set, comprising approximately 400K region-level attribute annotations and 800K multi-query question answering samples, and introduce SV-QA, a benchmark that evaluates latent reasoning under semantic variation. Experiments demonstrate that SLVR improves the robustness and semantic consistency of latent visual reasoning compared to existing baselines.

A Method for Neutron-Gamma Pulse Shape Discrimination of CLYC Detector Based on a Gated Residual-Linear Attention Network

The discrimination of neutron and gamma pulse shapes is a key technology in fields such as nuclear safety monitoring and radiation assessment. An enhanced recursive gated cyclic residual-sparse linear attention network is developed on the CLYC detector experimental platform to overcome weak noise resistance, limited feature extraction and inferior real-time performance of conventional algorithms. The experimental dataset comprises 19,971 samples, which were pre-processed and stratified for model training and testing. Results indicate that the proposed algorithm achieves a quality factor of 2.2, with a classification accuracy of 98.7% and a recall rate of 99.4%. It achieves an accuracy of 95.1% under the 20 dB low signal-to-noise ratio condition, exhibiting excellent anti-noise ability.With around 2.8 million parameters, the model takes merely 0.05 ms to process a single pulse on GPU, satisfying real-time monitoring and embedded deployment demands.

Compatibility and Accuracy Verification of CADmesh-Based Complex Geometry Modeling in Geant4

Geant4 Monte Carlo simulation relies on the Constructive Solid Geometry (CSG) method for complex geometric modeling. This method has low efficiency and a high application threshold. Importing triangular facet formats such as STL/OBJ via CADmesh is a promising alternative, but systematic evaluations of format compatibility, geometric accuracy, and physical simulation deviations are lacking. Construct open-source experimental environment based on Geant4 11.0, CADmesh 1.3.0 and FreeCAD 1.0. We design high and low precision gradient test cases using simple geometric bodies and complex engineering models, and systematically evaluate the import success rate, facet loss rate, volume error, and particle transport dose deviation for STL and OBJ formats.The results show a 100% import success rate for both formats; the volume error rate is <= 0.018% for high-precision models and <= 0.288% for low-precision models. The two formats share the same vertex facet data structure. This study designs a general adaptive interface. The interface reduces the number of parsing code lines by about 70% and maintains geometric accuracy.Furthermore, the tetrahedral mesh loading takes 3.1 times longer than tessellated solids, but the simulation time can be reduced from 15194.3 s to 77.28 s.

Covering vertices by sequential stars

We study the problem of covering the maximum number of vertices in a graph by a collection of vertex-disjoint stars, each with a number of satellites in a given interval $[k, \ell]$, where $1 \le k < \ell$ and $\ell$ can be infinity. This is referred to as sequential {\sc $[k, \ell]$-Star Packing} problem. It is solvable in polynomial time when $k = 1$, but becomes strongly NP-hard when $k \ge 2$. In this paper, we propose either the first or an improved approximation algorithm for the following four sequential settings: 1) a $\frac {k+1}2$-approximation algorithm when $k \ge 3$ and $\ell = \infty$, improving the previous best ratio of $\frac {(k+1)^2}{2k+1}$; 2) a $\frac 43$-approximation algorithm when $k = 2$ and $\ell = \infty$, improving the previous best ratio of $\frac 32$; 3) the first $(1 + \frac \ell{\ell+1})$-approximation algorithm when $2 = k < \ell$; and 4) the first $(1 + \max\left\{\frac {k-1}2, \frac {(k+1) \ell}{3 (\ell+1)}\right\})$-approximation algorithm when $3 \le k < \ell$. Besides the main algorithmic techniques being local search coupled with amortized analysis, we observe augmenting configurations to bridge two distant neighborhoods for a local improvement operation. Additionally, the problem has been shown APX-hard when $k \ge 3$; we prove its APX-hardness for the last remaining case where $k = 2$.

From Static Risk to Dynamic Trajectories: Toward World-Model-Inspired Clinical Prediction

Clinical decision-making is a feedback system where risk estimates influence treatment, which in turn changes disease trajectories, and both shape clinicians' measurement practices. Static prediction often fails clinically: models trained on observational care logs conflate disease biology with clinician behavior, particularly under treatment confounder feedback and irregular or informative observation. This Review focuses on intervention-aware disease trajectory modeling in clinical AI--methods estimating patient-specific longitudinal disease evolution and assessing trajectory changes under alternative treatments. We organize the field around six linked components: three decision tasks (factual forecasting, counterfactual estimation, policy evaluation) and three data-generating mechanisms (disease evolution, treatment assignment, observation process) that determine identifiability. We present the first unified framework bridging forecasting, counterfactual trajectories, and policy evaluation across discrete/continuous time, explicitly addressing treatment assignment, time-varying confounding, and observation bias. We synthesize key method families (multistate/joint models, temporal point-process, deep sequence architectures, longitudinal causal inference), map them to relevant components, and align evaluation with claim strength via overlap diagnostics, uncertainty quantification, off-policy robustness, and target-trial validation. This synthesis advances benchmark prediction to decision-grade clinical evidence, enabling treatment-sensitive individualized futures, pre-deployment policy stress-testing, and safer closed-loop learning health systems that adapt/abstain when evidence is insufficient.

Dean-Kawasaki Equation with Biot-Savart and Keller-Segel Interactions: Existence and Large Deviations

We establish the existence of probabilistically weak, renormalized kinetic solutions to the Dean--Kawasaki equation with singular interaction kernels, including those of Biot--Savart and Keller--Segel type. Under a suitable regularization of the square-root noise coefficient, we further prove a restricted large deviation principle for probabilistically weak solutions to the regularized Dean--Kawasaki equation. The Biot--Savart and Keller--Segel type interactions introduce a scaling criticality within the $L^1$ framework of the Dean--Kawasaki equation and the associated skeleton equation, which gives rise to a significant new challenge. In contrast to [Fehrman, Gess; Invent. Math., 2023], our large deviation analysis relies on a novel exponential tightness argument specifically adapted to the Dean--Kawasaki noise. This approach, combined with a weak-strong uniqueness result for the associated skeleton equation, allows us to partially overcome the criticality induced by the singular interaction kernel.

Probing the Critical Point (CritPt) of AI Reasoning: a Frontier Physics Research Benchmark

While large language models (LLMs) with reasoning capabilities are progressing rapidly on high-school math competitions and coding, can they reason effectively through complex, open-ended challenges found in frontier physics research? And crucially, what kinds of reasoning tasks do physicists want LLMs to assist with? To address these questions, we present the CritPt (Complex Research using Integrated Thinking - Physics Test, pronounced "critical point"), the first benchmark designed to test LLMs on unpublished, research-level reasoning tasks that broadly covers modern physics research areas, including condensed matter, quantum physics, atomic, molecular & optical physics, astrophysics, high energy physics, mathematical physics, statistical physics, nuclear physics, nonlinear dynamics, fluid dynamics and biophysics. CritPt consists of 71 composite research challenges designed to simulate full-scale research projects at the entry level, which are also decomposed to 190 simpler checkpoint tasks for more fine-grained insights. All problems are newly created by 50+ active physics researchers based on their own research. Every problem is hand-curated to admit a guess-resistant and machine-verifiable answer and is evaluated by an automated grading pipeline heavily customized for advanced physics-specific output formats. We find that while current state-of-the-art LLMs show early promise on isolated checkpoints, they remain far from being able to reliably solve full research-scale challenges: the best average accuracy among base models is only 5.7%, achieved by GPT-5 (high), moderately rising to around 10% when equipped with coding tools. Through the realistic yet standardized evaluation offered by CritPt, we highlight a large disconnect between current model capabilities and realistic physics research demands, offering a foundation to guide the development of scientifically grounded AI tools.

Enhancement of $J$$_c$ by Proton Irradiation in HgBa$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_8$$_+$$_δ$ Single Crystals

Critical current density is the key parameter for the practical application of superconductivity. In this study, 3 MeV proton irradiation experiments were conducted on HgBa$_2$Ca$_2$Cu$_3$O$_8$$_+$$_δ$ single crystals to introduce pinning centers. The critical current density is found to be strongly enhanced after the irradiation with its maximum at a dose of 1$\times$10$^{16}$/cm$^2$, where the self-field critical current density at 2 K is enhanced from 5.5 MA/cm$^2$ to 26 MA/cm$^2$. At 77 K, the self-field critical current density for all irradiated crystals is over 0.1 MA/cm$^2$. The power-law dependence of the critical current density on the magnetic field is observed after irradiation, with a large power-law exponent $α$ close to 1. A monotonic magnetic field dependence of the normalized magnetic relaxation rate is observed, which could be attributed to the low irreversibility field caused by the large anisotropy in Hg1223 single crystals. Through the analysis of the pinning force density of the crystal before and after irradiation, a clear mechanism change has been observed.

From flat to narrow bands: Engineering quantum emission in a one-dimensional Lieb lattice

We develop a comprehensive theoretical framework that unifies quantum emission dynamics in one-dimensional Lieb lattices, bridging the gap between ideal flat-band coherence and realistic narrow-band dissipation. By coupling an emitter to sublattices with finite flat-band wavefunction overlap, we activate a collective, size-independent interaction fundamentally distinct from dispersive-band processes. Controllably breaking lattice symmetry transforms the flat band into a narrow dispersive band, enabling a continuous crossover from non-Markovian to Markovian dynamics governed by the competition between coupling strength and engineered bandwidth. Crucially, we derive explicit scaling laws that provide a quantitative blueprint for tuning spontaneous emission from coherent trapping to Markovian decay. Our work provides a unified framework that connects idealized flat-band physics to emerging narrow-band platforms such as moir$\rm\acute{e}$ photonic crystals, offering a practical toolkit for interpreting experiments and engineering quantum emission in structured photonic environments.

HepScript: A Dual-Use DSL for Human-AI Collaborative Data Analysis Workflows in High-Energy Physics

The escalating data scale in High-Energy Physics (HEP) fuels a growing aspiration for higher analytical efficiency. While Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a path toward automation via agentic AI, they struggle with complex scientific workflows that require deep domain knowledge and are tightly coupled to experiment-specific codebases. To address this, we introduce a methodology centered on HepScript, a dual-use Domain-Specific Language (DSL) for HEP data analysis workflows. HepScript serves as a shared formal interface, abstracting HEP analysis logic into a constrained syntax that is both intuitive for human experts and reliably generable by AI agents. First developed for the Beijing Spectrometer III (BESIII) experiment, HepScript hides the complexity of the underlying software stack, translating high-level analysis intent into low-level, production-ready code. In our case studies, this abstraction reduces the required human-written code by 93\%. Crucially, HepScript's constrained grammar defines a tractable action space, enabling AI agents to autonomously generate executable specifications for core analysis stages directly from published literature with a 95\% success rate. Our work demonstrates a scalable pathway toward human-AI collaborative systems, where a formally specified DSL acts as an unambiguous translation layer between human expertise, AI automation, and production environment, rendering previously intractable automation problems solvable.

Dr.Sai: An agentic AI for real-world physics analysis at BESIII

High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments like BESIII produce petabyte-scale data. Extracting physics results requires complex workflows (simulation, reconstruction, statistical analysis, etc.) that traditionally take experts months or years. Current manual methods are labor-intensive, prone to bias, and limit large-scale systematic scans. As data grows, this paradigm slows discovery. Large Language Models (LLMs) offer a solution. Their natural language understanding and code generation capabilities allow them to interpret scientific tasks and integrate with HEP tools (e.g., ROOT, BOSS) to act as an "AI partner" for autonomous analysis. We present Dr.Sai, an LLM-powered multi-agent system that translates natural language into rigorous physics workflows. As validation, Dr.Sai performed large-scale re-measurements of ten J/psi decay branching fractions - without manual coding. It successfully navigated the real BESIII computing environment and produced results matching established benchmarks. The article details Dr.Sai's architecture, the validation results, and performance evaluation. This work provides a blueprint for autonomous discovery, with relevance to other data-intensive fields like astronomy and genomics.

LoGo-MR: Screening Breast MRI for Cancer Risk Prediction by Efficient Omni-Slice Modeling

Efficient and explainable breast cancer (BC) risk prediction is critical for large-scale population-based screening. Breast MRI provides functional information for personalized risk assessment. Yet effective modeling remains challenging as fully 3D CNNs capture volumetric context at high computational cost, whereas lightweight 2D CNNs fail to model inter-slice continuity. Importantly, breast MRI modeling for shor- and long-term BC risk stratification remains underexplored. In this study, we propose LoGo-MR, a 2.5D local-global structural modeling framework for five-year BC risk prediction. Aligned with clinical interpretation, our framework first employs neighbor-slice encoding to capture subtle local cues linked to short-term risk. It then integrates transformer-enhanced multiple-instance learning (MIL) to model distributed global patterns related to long-term risk and provide interpretable slice importance. We further apply this framework across axial, sagittal, and coronal planes as LoGo3-MR to capture complementary volumetric information. This multi-plane formulation enables voxel-level risk saliency mapping, which may assist radiologists in localizing risk-relevant regions during breast MRI interpretation. Evaluated on a large breast MRI screening cohort (~7.5K), our method outperforms 2D/3D baselines and existing SOTA MIL methods, achieving AUCs of 0.77-0.69 for 1- to 5-year prediction and improving C-index by ~6% over 3D CNNs. LoGo3-MR further improves overall performance with interpretable localization across three planes, and validation across seven backbones shows consistent gains. These results highlight the clinical potential of efficient MRI-based BC risk stratification for large-scale screening. Code will be released publicly.

Strain continuously rotates the Néel vector in altermagnetic MnTe

Altermagnetism has recently emerged as a distinct class of collinear antiferromagnets that break time-reversal symmetry, exhibiting a host of novel properties. Applied strain has attracted particular attention as a key tuning parameter for altermagnets. Although several experimental studies have demonstrated the preparation of single-domain states through a combination of applied strain and magnetic field, the route to such states remains unclear. Here, we use magneto-optical measurements on single crystals of MnTe under applied strain to show that, in contrast to previous reports, strain acts primarily to rotate the Néel vector L continuously. Since the orientation of L determines the magnetic point group symmetry, this continuous rotation effectively tunes the symmetry and its associated physical properties. Furthermore, we demonstrate that built-in strain in free-standing crystals is sufficient to pin L into continuous textures over millimeter length scales. Together, these results provide guidance for future device design and open the door to leveraging the Néel vector orientation as a tunable degree of freedom in spintronic applications.
