Lessons from the void: What Boltzmann brains teach

open access: yesAnalytic Philosophy, Volume 66, Issue 4, Page 594-621, December 2025.
Abstract Some physical theories predict that almost all brains in the universe are Boltzmann brains, that is, short‐lived disembodied brains that are accidentally assembled as a result of thermodynamic or quantum fluctuations. Physicists and philosophers of physics widely regard this proliferation as unacceptable, and so take its prediction as a basis ...

Quantification of Perturbation to the Daytime Lower Ionosphere From a Gamma Ray Burst Using ELF Remote Sensing

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 52, Issue 22, 28 November 2025.
Abstract On 9 October 2022, a powerful gamma ray burst (GRB), GRB221009A, caused significant changes in the electron density of the lower ionosphere, as evidenced by VLF (3–30 kHz) radio wave observations. However, GRB221009A did not yield any observable signatures at the Schumann resonances (∼8, ∼14 Hz), which are also sensitive to the lower ...

Parametric Design of Continuum Robots Using Interlocking Ball Joints

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 11, November 2025.
Herein, a parametric design methodology is introduced for producing a wide variety of modular ball joint‐based continuum robots. It is demonstrate by designing a magnetically actuated continuum robot for cardiac ablations. The methodology is released as an open‐source computer‐assisted design extension that automatically designs continuum robots based ...

New Arabic Records From Cairo on Supernovae 1181 and 1006

open access: yesAstronomische Nachrichten, Volume 346, Issue 9, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The remnant of the historical supernova SN 1181 is under discussion: While the previously suggested G130.7+3.1 (3C58) appears too old (3000–5000 year), the unusual star IRAS00500+6713 with a surrounding nebula (Pa‐30) has an expansion age not inconsistent with a SN Iax explosion in ad 1181 under the assumption that neither acceleration nor ...

Effect of Background Magnetic Field on Ion Weibel Instability With High‐Intensity Short‐Pulse Lasers

open access: yesContributions to Plasma Physics, Volume 65, Issue 10, November 2025.
ABSTRACT The effect of finite background magnetic field on magnetic field amplification by Weibel instability using high‐intensity short‐pulse lasers is investigated. We consider Weibel instability for counter‐streaming sub‐relativistic plasma flows generated by shooting pure carbon targets with short‐pulse lasers.

ATAC‐seq in Emerging Model Organisms: Challenges and Strategies

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, Volume 344, Issue 7, Page 394-414, November 2025.
Principle of ATAC‐seq (left), overview of arthropod species with published ATAC‐seq data (middle), summary of experimental design (right). ABSTRACT The Assay for Transposase‐Accessible Chromatin with sequencing (ATAC‐seq) is a versatile and widely utilized method for identifying potential regulatory regions, such as promoters and enhancers, within a ...

Synergies in Self‐Assembly—From Supramolecular Polymers to Defined Hierarchical Superstructures

open access: yesJournal of Polymer Science, Volume 63, Issue 21, Page 4450-4465, 1 November 2025.
Shaping supramolecular polymers built from molecular building blocks into superstructures with defined dimensions. Synergies within supramolecular architectures such as chirality or an additional second orthogonal driving force that does not interfere with the central supramolecular motif facilitate the confinement of the growth of these ...

Solar Flare Activity, 1937–2024: Introducing the New Hemispheric Solar Flare Index (hSFI) in the Context of 2024's Major Solar Storm Events

open access: yesSpace Weather, Volume 23, Issue 11, November 2025.
Abstract A new daily composite of the solar flare index (SFI) and the hemispherically‐resolved versions (hSFI) are presented for 1937 to 2024. The data set confirms that the northern hemisphere (NH) dominated solar flare activity during Solar Cycles 17 to 21, but that the southern hemisphere has dominated from Solar Cycle 22 to present.
