Essential Role of Icosahedral Symmetry in the 3D Shape of AuAg Plasmonic Nanostars With High Aspect‐Ratio Legs

Small, EarlyView.
Electron nanodiffraction mapping was used to determine that the 3D leg configuration of branched plasmonic AuAg nanostars is associated with the icosahedral symmetry of the star core, providing a deeper understanding of their growth mechanism and thus paving the way to the development of optimized synthesis protocols targeting optical enhancement ...

A Resource Efficient Ising Model‐Based Quantum Sudoku Solver

Software: Practice and Experience, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Quantum algorithms exploit superposition and parallelism to address complex combinatorial problems, many of which fall into the non‐polynomial (NP) class. Sudoku, a widely known logic‐based puzzle, is proven to be NP‐complete and thus presents a suitable testbed for exploring quantum optimization approaches.

Improving police behavior through artificial intelligence: Pre‐registered experimental results in two large US agencies

Criminology, EarlyView.
Abstract Police body‐worn cameras (BWCs) generate extensive video data on officer behavior, yet resource constraints mean that only a fraction of this footage is ever reviewed. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present an opportunity to automate these reviews, potentially influencing police conduct.
