Construction of KAGRA: an underground gravitational-wave observatory [PDF]

open access: yesProgress of Theoretical and Experimental Physics, 2018
Major construction and initial-phase operation of a second-generation gravitational-wave detector KAGRA has been completed. The entire 3-km detector is installed underground in a mine in order to be isolated from background seismic vibrations on the surface.

Deep Learning Inverse Design of Phase‐Change Reconfigurable Terahertz Metadevices for Multidimensional Secure Communication

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
A deep learning inverse‐design framework is established to create versatile reconfigurable terahertz metadevices. By synergizing deep learning with phase‐change materials, this approach enables on‐demand customization of multidimensional electromagnetic responses.

Asymmetry in Skipping Enhances Viability Against Control Input Noise

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Quadruped animals use asymmetric galloping gaits at high speeds, yet the functional role of this asymmetry remains unclear. This study shows that left–right asymmetry in touchdown angles enhances robustness to control noise. Using a simple two‐legged locomotion model and viability theory, it demonstrates that asymmetric skipping substantially enlarges ...

Mechanical Response and Damage Characteristics of Frozen–Thawed Sandstone Across Various Temperature Ranges Under Impact Loads

open access: yesFractal and Fractional
Freeze–thaw action is a key factor in the deterioration of the dynamic mechanical behavior of rocks in cold regions. This study used yellow sandstone, which is prevalent in the seasonally cold region of Xinjiang, China.

A Perspective on Interactive Theorem Provers in Physics

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Into an interactive theorem provers (ITPs), one can write mathematical definitions, theorems and proofs, and the correctness of those results is automatically checked. This perspective goes over the best usage of ITPs within physics and motivates the open‐source community run project PhysLean, the aim of which is to be a library for digitalized physics

Natural Variation of NAR5 Determines Nitrogenase Activity and the Yield in Soybean

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identified NAR5, a gene encoding a subtilisin‐like protease, that regulates nitrogenase activity in soybean nodules. Overexpressing NAR5 delayed nodule senescence, enhancing nitrogenase activity, yield, and low‐nitrogen tolerance. The elite haplotype NAR5HapI‐1 linked to superior nitrogenase activity and greater seed weight has been ...
