From Grave to Cradle: Kombucha Waste for Sustainable Electronics

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 15, 13 March 2026.
This study introduces a sustainable method to purify kombucha bacterial cellulose (KBC) with sodium bicarbonate and hydrogen peroxide, avoiding harsh chemicals. KBC films are patterned with gold and function as pressure sensors for flatfoot gait detection. At the end‐of‐life, the KBC‐based device biodegrades in soil, leaving environmentally benign gold

Mock Theta Functions

, 2008
In this Ph.D. thesis, written under the direction of D.B. Zagier and R.W. Bruggeman, we study the mock theta functions, that were introduced by Ramanujan. We show how they can be interpreted in the theory of (real-analytic) modular forms. In Chapter 1 we give results for Lerch sums (also called Appell functions, or generalized Lambert series).

Three-manifold quantum invariants and mock theta functions [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2019
Mock modular forms have found applications in numerous branches of mathematical sciences since they were first introduced by Ramanujan nearly a century ago. In this proceeding, we highlight a new area where mock modular forms start to play an important role, namely the study of three-manifold invariants.

Numerical Simulation of Vertical Profiles of Meteorological Variables in Urban Neighborhoods: Coupling an Urban Vertical Diffusion Model With a Single‐Layer Urban Canopy Model (UVDM‐SLUCM)

Journal of Advances in Modeling Earth Systems, Volume 18, Issue 3, March 2026.
Abstract Heterogeneous landscape leads to large variations of urban microclimate in all dimensions, yet the vertical variability of meteorological elements within the urban canopy layer (UCL) has been rarely examined. In the present study, we developed an urban vertical diffusion model coupled with a single‐layer urban canopy model.

Overpartition $M2$-rank differences, class number relations, and vector-valued mock Eisenstein series

, 2018
We prove that the generating function of overpartition $M2$-rank differences is, up to coefficient signs, a component of the vector-valued mock Eisenstein series attached to a certain quadratic form.

Vision‐Assisted Avocado Harvesting with Aerial Bimanual Manipulation

Advanced Robotics Research, Volume 2, Issue 1, February 2026.
This work outlines the design and implementation of a bimanual aerial robot that employs visual perception and learning to detect, reach, and harvest avocados. A new gripper and fixer arm assembly is used to harvest avocados, while visual perception enables the detection of avocados and estimation of their position and orientation for determining ...

Angular correlation function from sample covariance with BOSS and eBOSS LRG

European Physical Journal C: Particles and Fields
The Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) are one of the most used probes to understand the accelerated expansion of the Universe. Traditional methods rely on fiducial model information within their statistical analysis, which may be a problem when ...

q-hypergeometric double sums as mock theta functions [PDF]

Pacific Journal of Mathematics, 2013
Recently, Bringmann and Kane established two new Bailey pairs and used them to relate certain q-hypergeometric series to real quadratic fields. We show how these pairs give rise to new mock theta functions in the form of q-hypergeometric double sums.

IgG‐Bridging–Seeded Synergistic Aggregation of SARS‐CoV‐2 Spikes Underlies Potent Neutralization by a Low‐Affinity Antibody

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 11, 23 February 2026.
Low‐affinity antibodies are frequently disregarded in discovery pipelines. This work reports P5‐1C8, a Class 1 SARS‐CoV‐2 antibody with weak trimer binding (KD‐to‐IC50 > 3700‐fold) yet potent neutralization of Omicron JN.1. Structural, biophysical, functional, and coarse‐grained simulations collectively demonstrate that transient inter‐spike IgG ...

Black hole quantum mechanics and generalized error functions

Journal of High Energy Physics
In Type II Calabi-Yau string compactifications, S-duality predicts that suitable generating series of BPS indices counting microstates of D4-D2-D0 black holes are in general mock modular forms of higher depth.
