M3SR: Multi-Scale Multi-Perceptual Mamba for Efficient Spectral Reconstruction

The Mamba architecture has been widely applied to various low-level vision tasks due to its exceptional adaptability and strong performance. Although the Mamba architecture has been adopted for spectral reconstruction, it still faces the following two challenges: (1) Single spatial perception limits the ability to fully understand and analyze hyperspectral images; (2) Single-scale feature extraction struggles to capture the complex structures and fine details present in hyperspectral images. To address these issues, we propose a multi-scale, multi-perceptual Mamba architecture for the spectral reconstruction task, called M3SR. Specifically, we design a multi-perceptual fusion block to enhance the ability of the model to comprehensively understand and analyze the input features. By integrating the multi-perceptual fusion block into a U-Net structure, M3SR can effectively extract and fuse global, intermediate, and local features, thereby enabling accurate reconstruction of hyperspectral images at multiple scales. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experiments demonstrate that the proposed M3SR outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods while incurring a lower computational cost.

Topological Valley Transport in Bilayer Graphene Induced by Interlayer Sliding

Interlayer sliding, together with twist angle, is a crucial parameter that defines the atomic registry and thus determines the properties of two-dimensional (2D) material homobilayers. Here, we theoretically demonstrate that controlled interlayer sliding in bilayer graphene induces Berry curvature reversals, leading to topological states confined within a one-dimensional moir\'e channel. We experimentally realize interlayer sliding by bending the bilayer graphene geometry across a nanoridge. Systematic electronic transport measurements reveal topological valley transport when the Fermi energy resides within the band gap, consistent with theoretical predictions of eight topological channels. Our findings establish interlayer sliding as a powerful tool for tuning the electronic properties of bilayer graphene and underscore its potential for broad application across 2D material systems.

ALMA uncovers optically thin and multi-component CO gas in the outflowing circumnuclear disk of NGC1068

Active galactic nuclei (AGNs) influence their host galaxies through winds and jets that can drive molecular outflows, traceable with CO line emissions using the Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA). Recent studies leveraging ALMA data have proposed a three-dimensional outflow geometry in the nearby Seyfert II galaxy NGC 1068, a key target for AGN unification theories. Using ALMA observations of CO(2-1), CO(3-2), and CO(6-5) transitions at roughly 0.1 arcseconds (approximately 7 parsecs) resolution, we analyzed the temperature, density, and kinematics of NGC 1068's circumnuclear disk (CND), focusing on the molecular outflow. Through local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) analysis, we derived column densities and rotational temperatures, indicating optically thin gas and CO-to-H2 (XCO) conversion factors between 4.8 and 9.6 times smaller than the Milky Way value. The inferred molecular mass outflow rate is mostly below 5.5 solar masses per year, with the dominant contribution northeast of the AGN. After subtracting the rotation curve of the CND, we modeled averaged line profiles in each region using single and multi-component Gaussian fits. Several profiles within or near the AGN wind bicone required multiple components with significant velocity shifts, suggesting multi-component complex outflow kinematics. We observe lateral variation in CO kinematics along the AGN wind bicone and a misalignment between the molecular and ionized outflow directions. These results imply that the dynamic impact of the ionized AGN wind on the molecular gas in the CND may be limited. However, the molecular outflow shows a complex, asymmetric structure.

Inducing Berry Curvature Dipole in Multilayer Graphene through Inhomogeneous Interlayer Sliding

Breaking lattice symmetry is crucial for generating a nonzero Berry curvature. While manipulating twisting angles between adjacent layers has successfully broken lattice symmetry through strain field and generated nonzero Berry curvature, interlayer sliding in principle offers a promising alternative route. However, realizing uniform interlayer sliding faces experimental challenges due to its energetic instability. In this work, we introduce an experimentally feasible method, using a corrugated substrate to induce an inhomogeneous but energetically more stable interlayer sliding in multilayer graphene. Our simulations demonstrate that inhomogeneous interlayer sliding produces a sizable Berry curvature dipole, which can be further tuned by varying the interlayer sliding distances and potential differences. The resulting Berry curvature dipole magnitude is remarkably up to 100 times greater than the maximum displacement involved in the inhomogeneous sliding. Our results highlight inhomogeneous interlayer sliding as a viable and effective method to induce a significant Berry curvature dipole in graphene systems and propose the experimentally feasible way to realize it.

Magnetic Switching in Monolayer 2D Diluted Magnetic Semiconductors via Spin-to- Spin Conversion

The integration of two-dimensional (2D) van der Waals (vdW) magnets with topological insulators or heavy metals holds great potential for realizing next-generation spintronic memory devices. However, achieving high-efficiency SOT switching of monolayer vdW magnets at room temperature poses a significant challenge, particularly without an external magnetic field. Here, we show field-free, deterministic, and nonvolatile SOT switching of perpendicular magnetization in the monolayer, diluted magnetic semiconductor (DMS), Fe-doped MoS2(Fe:MoS2) at up to 380 K with a current density of $7\times10^4 A cm^{-2}$. The in situ doping of Fe into monolayer MoS2 via chemical vapor deposition and the geometry-induced strain in the crystal break the rotational switching symmetry in Fe:MoS2, promoting field-free SOT switching by generating out-of-plane spins via spin-to-spin conversion. An apparent anomalous Hall effect (AHE) loop shift at a zero in-plane magnetic field verifies the existence of z spins in Fe:MoS2, inducing an antidamping-like torque that facilitates field-free SOT switching. A strong topological Hall effect (THE) was also observed, attributed to the interfacial Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI), reducing the energy barrier for SOT switching. This field-free SOT application using a 2D ferromagnetic monolayer provides a new pathway for developing highly power-efficient spintronic memory devices.

Solution landscape of droplet on rough surfaces: wetting transition and directional transport

Droplets on rough surfaces can exhibit various stationary states that are crucial for designing hydrophobic materials and enabling directional liquid transport. Here we introduce a phase-field saddle dynamics method to construct the solution landscape of wetting transition and directional transport on pillared substrates. By applying this method, we reveal the full range of Cassie-Baxter and Wenzel states, along with the complete wetting transition paths. We further elucidate the mechanisms of directional droplet transport on both hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces, demonstrating how surface design can influence directional movement.

Radio AGN jet alignment: Radio and Optical Position Angle of Radio Galaxies

It is well established that AGNs play an important role in the evolution of galaxies. These AGNs can be linked to the accretion processes onto massive black holes and past merger events in their host galaxies, which may lead to different alignments of the jets with respect to the host galaxies. This paper presents a study of the PA differences between radio and optical images of radio AGNs based on the LoTSS DR2, the FIRST, the DESI Legacy Imaging Surveys and the SDSS. We assessed PA measurement biases in the data and classified the radio AGNs based on the radio luminosity and infrared colour from the WISE. This resulted in the largest yet published sample of 3682 radio AGNs with reliable radio and optical PA measurements. The PA difference (dPA) distributions for the radio AGN sample show a prominent minor-axis alignment tendency. Based on some simple assumptions, we simulated the projection effect to estimate the intrinsic jet-galaxy alignment. The observed dPA distribution can be well described by a two-component jet-alignment model in which one component is more aligned with the minor axis of the host galaxy than the other. The fitting results indicate that the jet alignment is dependent on radio luminosity and the shape of the host galaxies, with the jets being more likely to be aligned with the minor axis of the galaxy for lower radio luminosity and for optically more elongated radio AGNs. The minor-axis alignment of the entire sample may suggest a coherent accretion model present in most AGN host galaxies, while a considerable number of luminous radio-AGN with massive host galaxies might have undergone an accretion according to the chaotic model or past merger events.

CMUA-Watermark: A Cross-Model Universal Adversarial Watermark for Combating Deepfakes

Malicious applications of deepfakes (i.e., technologies generating target facial attributes or entire faces from facial images) have posed a huge threat to individuals' reputation and security. To mitigate these threats, recent studies have proposed adversarial watermarks to combat deepfake models, leading them to generate distorted outputs. Despite achieving impressive results, these adversarial watermarks have low image-level and model-level transferability, meaning that they can protect only one facial image from one specific deepfake model. To address these issues, we propose a novel solution that can generate a Cross-Model Universal Adversarial Watermark (CMUA-Watermark), protecting a large number of facial images from multiple deepfake models. Specifically, we begin by proposing a cross-model universal attack pipeline that attacks multiple deepfake models iteratively. Then, we design a two-level perturbation fusion strategy to alleviate the conflict between the adversarial watermarks generated by different facial images and models. Moreover, we address the key problem in cross-model optimization with a heuristic approach to automatically find the suitable attack step sizes for different models, further weakening the model-level conflict. Finally, we introduce a more reasonable and comprehensive evaluation method to fully test the proposed method and compare it with existing ones. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed CMUA-Watermark can effectively distort the fake facial images generated by multiple deepfake models while achieving a better performance than existing methods.

Digging Deeper into CRNN Model in Chinese Text Images Recognition

Automatic text image recognition is a prevalent application in computer vision field. One efficient way is use Convolutional Recurrent Neural Network(CRNN) to accomplish task in an end-to-end(End2End) fashion. However, CRNN notoriously fails to detect multi-row images and excel-like images. In this paper, we present one alternative to first recognize single-row images, then extend the same architecture to recognize multi-row images with proposed multiple methods. To recognize excel-like images containing box lines, we propose Line-Deep Denoising Convolutional AutoEncoder(Line-DDeCAE) to recover box lines. Finally, we present one Knowledge Distillation(KD) method to compress original CRNN model without loss of generality. To carry out experiments, we first generate artificial samples from one Chinese novel book, then conduct various experiments to verify our methods.

Construction of a minimum energy path for the VT flash model by an exponential time differencing scheme with the string method

Phase equilibrium calculation, also known as flash calculation, plays significant roles in various aspects of petroleum and chemical industries. Since Michelsen proposed his milestone studies in 1982, through several decades of development, the current research interest on flash calculation has been shifted from accuracy to efficiency, but the ultimate goal remains the same focusing on estimation of the equilibrium phase amounts and phase compositions under the given variable specification. However, finding the transition route and its related saddle points are very often helpful to study the evolution of phase change and partition. Motivated by this, in this study we apply the string method to find the minimum energy paths and saddle points information of a single-component VT flash model with the Peng-Robinson equation of state. As the system has strong stiffness, common ordinary differential equation solvers have their limitations. To overcome these issues, a Rosenbrock-type exponential time differencing scheme is employed to reduce the computational difficulty caused by the high stiffness of the investigated system. In comparison with the published results and experimental data, the proposed numerical algorithm not only shows good feasibility and accuracy on phase equilibrium calculation, but also successfully calculates the minimum energy path and and saddle point of the single-component VT flash model with strong stiffness.
