From the very special relativity theory, the existence of Superluminal reference frames and faster-than-light objects can be inferred, when its validity is not arbitrarily confined to subluminal velocities. Recently, in fact, special relativity has been extended to Superluminal inertial frames and to tachyons, thus allowing a self-consistent ...

Truncation error analysis for the piecewise parabolic method
This work provides a theoretical error analysis of the well‐established piecewise parabolic method for unforced linear advection problems with non‐constant velocity. Numerical results confirm that merely first‐order accuracy is obtained for deformational flows.

Dark Excitonic State Preparation in a Symmetry‐Protected Open Quantum Battery
An optical charging protocol is presented for an excitonic quantum battery that prepares the system in a symmetry‐protected dark excited state. Using a continuous‐wave laser followed by controlled relaxation, the system stores energy in a state resilient to environmental losses. Abstract Previous work (J. Phys. Chem.

Exposing and Challenging “Grit” in Physics Education
ABSTRACT In STEM education, grit is increasingly the focus of research, with scholars and educators seeking to develop and test interventions that will enhance persistence. As part of the special issue Centering Affect and Emotion Toward Justice and Dignity in Science Education, in this paper, we use interviews with 12 white physics faculty to show ...

ABSTRACT We live in times of crises, genocides, and massive destruction of both the natural and social habitat, where justice‐centered socio‐political visions of the future enacted in the present are urgently needed. Hence, the special issue Centering Affect and Emotion Toward Justice and Dignity in Science Education could not be more timely and needed.

Breaking the structural symmetry of devices is a crucial design strategy that endows terahertz (THz) detectors with novel operating mechanisms and unique characteristics. This study provides an in‐depth discussion on symmetry‐breaking‐induced phenomena, novel asymmetric structures, and dominant detection mechanisms.

Anomalous‐Energy Runaway Electrons Originating in Fast Ionisation Wave During Pulsed Gas Breakdown
ABSTRACT Anomalous‐energy runaway electrons (RAEs), whose energy exceeds the maximum potential difference across the discharge gap, are widely observed in various plasma phenomena. This study investigates the origination of anomalous‐energy RAEs in fast ionisation waves (FIWs) formed during pulsed gas breakdown.

Alternative Approaches for Estimating Highest‐Density Regions
Summary Among the variety of statistical intervals, highest‐density regions (HDRs) stand out for their ability to effectively summarise a distribution or sample, unveiling its distinctive and salient features. An HDR represents the minimum size set that satisfies a certain probability coverage, and current methods for their computation require ...
