Author-Reviewed Papers

Papers where the original authors have engaged with our plain-language explanation.

For every paper on this page, at least one of the original authors has seen our plain-language explanation and engaged with it — either confirming it reads accurately or requesting corrections that we then applied. An endorsement does not mean the authors formally approve every sentence, but it does mean the explanation has passed the eyes of the people who wrote the paper.

Chemical tuning of magnetic ordering and cryogenic magnetocaloric response in zircon-type Gd1-xErxVO4

This study demonstrates that partial substitution of Gd³⁺ with smaller Er³⁺ ions in zircon-type Gd₁₋ₓErₓVO₄ systematically tunes lattice parameters and magnetic interactions, effectively optimizing the low-temperature magnetocaloric performance for cryogenic refrigeration, with the Gd₀.₉Er₀.₁VO₄ composition achieving a maximum magnetic entropy change of 45.1 J kg⁻¹ K⁻¹ under a 7 T field.

Faraday Complexity and Depolarisation in a High-Rotation-Measure Radio Galaxy from the Spectra and Polarisation In Cutouts of Extragalactic Sources (SPICE-RACS) DR2

This study utilizes broadband spectro-polarimetric observations from the SPICE-RACS DR2 survey to characterize the complex Faraday rotation and depolarization structure of the high-rotation-measure radio galaxy RACS_0900-28_7036, identifying a preferred multi-component model that reveals distinct magnetized regions along the line of sight and demonstrates ASKAP's capability for systematic investigations of Faraday complexity in extragalactic sources.

Testing the Black Box: Structural Barriers to Independent Evaluation of Consumer-Facing Health LLMs

This paper identifies five structural barriers—including opaque personalization, restrictive access policies, and unstable model versions—that currently prevent reliable independent evaluation of how consumer-facing health large language models vary their responses and exhibit sycophancy in ordinary use, underscoring the urgent need for new governance frameworks to ensure safety and equity.

Constraint-Aware Optimization for Robust Protein Stability Prediction

This paper introduces a constraint-aware optimization framework that enhances the robustness and accuracy of protein stability prediction on out-of-distribution benchmarks by integrating Balanced Mean Squared Error, a Siamese anti-symmetric regularizer, and an OOD-margin consistency loss without requiring architectural modifications to the underlying model.
