This collection explores the dynamic frontier of research spanning from carbon nanotubes to organic semiconductors, where chemists and materials scientists are redefining what is possible at the atomic scale. These studies investigate how molecular structures interact to create new technologies, often bridging the gap between theoretical chemistry and real-world applications like flexible electronics or advanced energy storage.
Every new preprint in this category arrives directly from arXiv, and Gist.Science immediately processes each submission to make the findings accessible to everyone. We provide both clear, plain-language overviews for general readers and detailed technical summaries for specialists, ensuring that complex discoveries in this rapidly evolving field are easy to understand and verify. Below are the latest papers exploring these groundbreaking materials and their transformative potential.
This paper proposes SYSSPEC, a framework that enables the generation and evolution of complex, functional file systems by replacing ambiguous natural language prompts with a formal, multi-part specification that guides LLM-based agents to produce correct and evolvable code.
HALO is a novel quantum operating system that enables fine-grained resource sharing through a hardware-aware qubit-sharing algorithm and a shot-adaptive scheduler, significantly increasing hardware utilization and throughput compared to existing fair-share scheduling methods.
This paper proposes a scheduling-based mitigation framework that secures real-time cyber-physical systems against timing-based attacks by introducing bounded, structured timing perturbations to obscure execution patterns while strictly preserving real-time schedulability and control performance guarantees.
This paper introduces the User-space Scheduling Framework (USF) and its default cooperative policy, SCHED_COOP, which leverage user-space thread scheduling via the nOS-V runtime to eliminate OS-level preemption interference under oversubscription, achieving up to 2.4x performance gains in complex multi-runtime and multi-process HPC and AI workloads without requiring invasive application changes.
This paper evaluates NVIDIA's GPU isolation mechanisms (MPS, MIG, and Green Contexts) on A100 and Jetson Orin platforms to determine their effectiveness in ensuring predictable inference times for safety-critical edge applications, finding that while MIG offers high isolation, Green Contexts provide a promising low-overhead alternative for edge devices despite lacking memory isolation.
This paper introduces Sawtooth Wavefront Reordering, a novel technique for CuTile-based FlashAttention on NVIDIA GB10 that significantly reduces L2 cache misses and boosts throughput by up to 60% through optimized memory access patterns.
This paper introduces "credit fairness," a new fairness criterion ensuring agents can recoup lent resources over time, and proposes a mechanism that achieves this alongside Pareto efficiency while addressing the resource disparity issues found in traditional max-min allocation methods.
Rhea is a cloud-offloaded defense system that detects privilege-escalated evasive ransomware by validating the syntactic and semantic correctness of file formats in data snapshots, thereby overcoming the limitations of existing I/O-pattern and statistical entropy-based detection methods.
This paper presents a novel WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) extension built on Zephyr RTOS that provides a secure, portable, and low-overhead sandbox for multi-tenant IoT sensor access, achieving only a 6% latency and 5% memory footprint increase compared to native execution while enabling in-network access control via MQTT-SN.
