Temperature-tunable spin-wave refraction using superconducting control elements
Pim H. Vree, Merel A. Bouma, Michael Borst +3
Spin waves are promising signal carriers for microwave control at the micrometer scale. However, realizing low-damping, tunable control of spin-wave propagation remains a central c…
Estimating Item Difficulty with Large Language Models as Experts
Diana Kolesnikova, Kirill Fedyanin, Abe D. Hofman +2
Accurate estimates of item difficulty are essential for valid assessment and effective adaptive learning. However, for newly created tasks, response data are typically unavailable.…
Euclid preparation. Calibrated intrinsic galaxy alignments in the Euclid Flagship simulation
Euclid Collaboration, K. Hoffmann, R. Paviot +298
Intrinsic alignments of galaxies are potentially a major contaminant of cosmological analyses of weak gravitational lensing. We construct a semi-analytic model of galaxy ellipticit…
ESO Expanding Horizon White Paper: Revealing the properties of matter at supranuclear densities with gravitational waves
Tim Dietrich, Tanja Hinderer, Micaela Oertel +40
Understanding dense matter under extreme conditions is one of the most fundamental puzzles in modern physics. Complex interactions give rise to emergent, collective phenomena. Whil…
Kilonova modelling and parameter inference: Understanding uncertainties and evaluating compatibility between observations and models
Thomas Hussenot-Desenonges, Marion Pillas, Sarah Antier +2
In the study of optical transients, parameter inference is the process of extracting physical information, i.e. constraints on the source's characteristics, by comparing the observ…
From an attention economy to an ecology of attending. A manifesto
Gunter Bombaerts, Tom Hannes, Martin Adam +52
As the signatories of this manifesto, we denounce the attention economy as inhumane and a threat to our sociopolitical and ecological well-being. We endorse policymakers' efforts t…
