LatentChem: From Textual CoT to Latent Thinking in Chemical Reasoning
Xinwu Ye, Yicheng Mao, Yuxuan Liao +16
Current chemical large language models (LLMs) predominantly rely on explicit Chain-of-Thought (CoT) to solve complex reasoning problems. However, forcing nonverbal tacit chemical l…
First measurement of reactor neutrino oscillations at JUNO
Angel Abusleme, Thomas Adam, Kai Adamowicz +1131
Neutrino oscillations, a quantum effect manifesting at macroscopic scales, are governed by lepton flavor mixing angles and neutrino mass-squared differences that are fundamental pa…
Initial performance results of the JUNO detector
Angel Abusleme, Thomas Adam, Kai Adamowicz +1131
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) started physics data taking on 26 August 2025. JUNO consists of a 20-kton liquid scintillator central detector, surrounded by a…
Scientists' First Exam: Probing Cognitive Abilities of MLLM via Perception, Understanding, and Reasoning
Yuhao Zhou, Yiheng Wang, Xuming He +26
Scientific discoveries increasingly rely on complex multimodal reasoning based on information-intensive scientific data and domain-specific expertise. Empowered by expert-level sci…
Prospects for geoneutrino detection with JUNO
Thomas Adam, Shakeel Ahmad, Rizwan Ahmed +625
Geoneutrinos, which are antineutrinos emitted during the decay of long-lived radioactive elements inside Earth, serve as a unique tool for studying the composition and heat budget…
FaStfact: Faster, Stronger Long-Form Factuality Evaluations in LLMs
Yingjia Wan, Haochen Tan, Xiao Zhu +9
Evaluating the factuality of long-form generations from Large Language Models (LLMs) remains challenging due to efficiency bottlenecks and reliability concerns. Prior efforts attem…
