Broadband radio-frequency chaos synthesis with Vernier chaotic microcombs

This paper introduces a Vernier chaotic dual-microcomb platform that overcomes the gigahertz bandwidth limitation of individual microcomb teeth by mapping multiple spectral elements into the radio-frequency domain, successfully generating broadband RF chaos exceeding 40 GHz to enable terabit-per-second random-bit generation and scalable chaotic waveform synthesis.

Differential reflectance Signature of Fano Resonance and Antiresonance in a Reflective Au Diffraction-Grating Structure

This study demonstrates that differential reflectance serves as an effective readout for detecting Fano resonance and antiresonance in a reflective gold diffraction grating, where the coupling between localized and propagating surface plasmons enables high-performance sensing of low-refractive-index liquids.

Planck-Anchored Discrete Scale Invariance: Lorentz Compatibility, Renormalization-Group Obstructions, and an Emergent Log-Periodic Structure in Asymptotically Safe Gravity

This paper proposes that Planck-anchored discrete scale invariance is a viable, Lorentz-compatible framework for quantum gravity that emerges from the complex critical exponents of the asymptotically safe ultraviolet fixed point, predicting specific log-periodic oscillations in cosmological observables while evading constraints associated with continuous scale symmetry.

Smaller, closer, and fully negative: optical torque engineering in dielectric-metal heterodimers

This paper presents analytical expressions and theoretical findings demonstrating that dielectric-metal heterodimers, specifically silicon-silver pairs with sub-70 nm radii, exhibit counterintuitive linear torque increases with distance and achieve stable, fully negative optical torque across a broad range of interparticle separations, significantly outperforming traditional gold homodimers.

Biorthogonal Covariance Amplification Near the Breathing Threshold of Dissipative Kerr Solitons

This paper demonstrates that linearly stable dissipative Kerr solitons near their breathing threshold exhibit substantial stochastic sensitivity amplification driven by nonnormal biorthogonal geometry and auxiliary-to-optical coupling rather than thermal feedback, quantified by a finite Petermann-like factor and clarified through phase-fixed Lyapunov covariance analysis.

Comparative Performance Evaluation of Barium Strontium Titanate Thin-Film Metal–Insulator–Metal Capacitors with Different Dielectric Thicknesses and a Fixed-Thickness Interdigital Capacitor

This study demonstrates that the electrical performance of Barium Strontium Titanate thin-film capacitors is strongly influenced by dielectric thickness and structure, revealing that thinner Metal–Insulator–Metal layers yield superior capacitance density and quality factor, while thicker layers enhance dielectric permittivity.

Single-Time Selective Weight Redistribution in T-Symmetry-Broken BEC Bright Solitons via Itō Field Reversal: Density, Norm, and ABL Probability Diagnostics

This paper proposes a three-diagnostic framework using density, norm, and ABL probability to demonstrate that T-symmetry breaking in Itō-reversed BEC bright solitons manifests not as genuine decoherence but as a conserved redistribution of probability weights between forward and backward branches, offering a specific experimental test via 7Li or 85Rb condensates.

A Geometric Wavefront Framework for Cosmological Expansion, Gravitation and Quantum Phenomena

This paper proposes a unified geometric framework where the observable universe is a finite-thickness hyperspherical wavefront propagating in a four-dimensional Euclidean space, reinterpreting cosmic expansion, gravity, and quantum phenomena as emergent geometric consequences of this structure rather than requiring fundamental constants like dark energy or intrinsic quantum indeterminacy.

Quantum Completion of the Flux-Gauge Area Law: From SU(N ) Spin Networks to Holographic Entanglement

This paper bridges the gap between combinatorial flux-gauge models and quantum holography by demonstrating that SU(N) spin networks constitute a genuine random tensor network, where a specific statistical assumption on intertwiners yields an emergent radial direction and a numerically verified entanglement entropy that scales with the boundary cut area, thereby providing a concrete quantum derivation for the Ryu–Takayanagi law.
