ScienceMeter: Tracking Scientific Knowledge Updates in Language Models

This paper introduces ScienceMeter, a framework for evaluating scientific knowledge updates in Large Language Models through three metrics—preservation, acquisition, and projection—revealing that current update methods struggle to maintain existing knowledge while effectively learning new facts and anticipating future scientific advancements.

Continuous target-specific mutagenesis and rapid gene evolution by diversity-generating retroelements in Escherichia coli

This paper demonstrates that diversity-generating retroelements (DGRs) can be engineered in *Escherichia coli* and coupled with horizontal gene transfer to create a simple, programmable system for the continuous, iterative, and position-specific mutagenesis of target genes, enabling the rapid evolution of proteins such as pyrrolysyl-tRNA synthetase for biotechnological applications.

Border Bases and Border Basis Schemes

This survey reviews over two decades of research on border basis schemes, highlighting their defining property of commuting multiplication matrices, the challenges and solutions regarding their high-dimensional coordinate rings through re-embedding techniques, and their connections to positive P0P_0-algebras and unimodular matrix problems, while concluding with a selection of open problems that suggest the field's ongoing evolution.

Post-Newtonian Dynamics of Radiating Charges: Canonical Formulation and Binary Inspiral Laws

This paper develops a canonical Post-Newtonian Hamiltonian framework for radiating charges by integrating the Landau-Lifshitz reduced radiation reaction into the Darwin system to derive inspiral laws, and extends this formalism to charged compact binaries in Einstein-Maxwell theory to characterize the transition between electromagnetic and gravitational flux-dominated inspirals.

AI sustains higher strategic tension than humans in chess

This study utilizes a network-based metric to demonstrate that elite AI chess players sustain significantly higher and longer-lasting strategic tension than human grandmasters, revealing that AI systems tolerate densely interconnected positions while humans systematically limit complexity, with human tension levels peaking at ply 40 and scaling linearly with skill and time controls.

Thermal and viscous contrast in quantum Hall scanning-probe images

This paper establishes a quantitative framework for interpreting quantum Hall scanning-probe images by deriving a transport operator functional that distinguishes between thermal, electrical, and viscous contrasts, revealing that thermoelectric signals are pinned by energy weighting rather than defect geometry in strong fields and that Hall-odd images in hydrodynamic regimes require careful disentanglement of mixed transport channels.

Comparative Performance of Frontier Large Language Models for Extracting High-Risk Pathologic Features from Unstructured Gastrointestinal Oncology Reports: A Systematic Benchmarking Study with Human and Traditional NLP Baselines

This systematic benchmarking study demonstrates that frontier large multimodal models, particularly Gemini 2.5 Pro and GPT-4o, significantly outperform both time-pressured human experts and traditional NLP baselines in extracting critical perineural invasion status from unstructured gastrointestinal pathology reports, while a novel failure mode taxonomy provides actionable guidance for model selection based on specific error signatures.
