Torch-Points3D: A Modular Multi-Task Frameworkfor Reproducible Deep Learning on 3D Point Clouds [PDF]
We introduce Torch-Points3D, an open-source framework designed to facilitate the use of deep networks on3D data. Its modular design, efficient implementation, and user-friendly interfaces make it a relevant tool for research and productization alike. Beyond multiple quality-of-life features, our goal is to standardize a higher level of transparency and

Efficient Light Source Placement using Quantum Computing [PDF]
NP-hard problems regularly come up in video games, with interesting connections to real-world problems. In the game Minecraft, players place torches on the ground to light up dark areas. Placing them in a way that minimizes the total number of torches to save resources is far from trivial.

Medium‐Entropy Engineering of Magnetism in Layered Antiferromagnet CuxNi2(1‐x)CrxP2S6
This study explores the aliovalent substitution strategy with Cu and Cr replacing Ni in Ni₂P₂S₆ compounds to engineer magnetism. By creating CuxNi2(1‐x)CrxP2S6 medium‐entropy alloys, the research reveals the evolution of distinct magnetic phases, including the creation of weak ferromagnetism in intermediate compositions.

Picosecond timing of charged particles using the TORCH detector [PDF]
TORCH is a large-area, high-precision time-of-flight (ToF) detector designed to provide charged-particle identification in the 2-20 GeV$/c$ momentum range. Prompt Cherenkov photons emitted by charged hadrons as they traverse a 10mm quartz radiator are propagated to the periphery of the detector, where they are focused onto an array of micro-channel ...

Status of the TORCH Project [PDF]
The TORCH time-of-flight detector will provide particle identification between 2-10 GeV/c momentum over a flight distance of 10 m, and is designed for large-area coverage, up to 30 m^2. A 15 ps time-of-flight resolution per incident particle is anticipated by measuring the arrival times from Cherenkov photons produced in a synthetic fused silica ...

Elucidating Sodium Ion Storage Mechanisms in Hard Carbon Anodes at the Electronic Level
High‐resolution, multi‐frequency continuous wave, and pulsed Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy uncover the intricate Na ion storage mechanisms in hard carbon. This study reveals the coexistence of Na ion intercalation and solvent co‐intercalation, alongside a subsequent transition of Na ions from ionic to quasi‐metallic to metallic ...

Lipid‐Hybrid Multicompartment Membrane Systems for Controlled, Compartmentalized Encapsulant Release
Herein a bio‐inspired, lipid‐hybrid‐based multicompartmental material for scalable (milliliter) microencapsulation (20 – 200 µm) and controlled release of aqueous solutions is presented. The multicompartmental architecture provides non‐mixing environments, spatial patterning of encapsulants, and controlled compartmentalized release by surfactant ...

Immobilised TiO2 Mesocrystals with Exposed {001} Facets for Efficient Dye‐Sensitized Solar Cells
Mesocrystal structure has been achieved for immobilized TiO2 via a two‐step synthesis strategy. In addition to the facile synthesis processes and the successful application in dye‐sensitized solar cells, the sintering condition was also demonstrated to be a key factor affecting the morphology, structure and thus the properties and photoanode behaviors ...

Performance analysis of a 2.45 GHz microwave plasma torch for CO$_2$ decomposition in gas swirl configuration [PDF]
Microwave plasmas are a promising technology for energy-efficient CO$_{2}$ valorization via conversion of CO$_{2}$ into CO and O$_2$ using renewable energies. A 2.45 GHz microwave plasma torch with swirling CO$_{2}$ gas flow is studied in a large pressure (60-1000~mbar) and flow (5-100~slm) range.
