FlowTranslator: Training-Free In-Image Machine Translation with Flow-Based Editing
In-image machine translation (IIMT) replaces text in an image with its translation while preserving the surrounding visual context. Existing task-specific models achieve convincing performance but require massive paired training images before and after translation. As advanced text-to-image (T2I) models have reached a practically usable level of multilingual text generation, we argue that this capability can be transferred to IIMT and present FlowTranslator. It is a training-free IIMT framework
Body size, not competition, may kick-start evolution
A new evolutionary theory suggests changes in body size, rather than competition for food and habitat, may drive the earliest physical differences between species.
Predicting protein structures at any folding stage from sequence
Protein structure predictors reliably identify native conformations, but do not describe the continuum connecting unfolded ensembles to folded states. Here we present FoldScape, a sequence-conditioned deep learning framework that generates C$α$ conformational ensembles at a specified folding fraction $Q$. FoldScape reconstructs three-dimensional chains through hierarchical, sliding-window regressions of one-dimensional inter-residue distances, followed by chain assembly and sampling with a recti

California fights "preposterous" Trump admin demand to scrap state broadband laws
California is accepting $1.42 billion in broadband grant funding from the Trump administration, but the state is not accepting the Trump administration's demand that it stop enforcing a net neutrality law and other telecom regulations. California's stand against the Trump administration could result in multiple legal battles involving the state, federal government, and Internet providers seeking government funds. Although California told the federal government it would accept the money, it is reserving the right to challenge the condition imposed by the US.

FinTech Adoption, Bank Profitability, and Stability: The Mediating Role of Operational Cost Efficiency in Bangladesh's Commercial Banking Sector
While financial technology (FinTech) is seen as a contributor to bank performance, the empirical evidence of digitization's ability to translate into improved profit and stability outcomes and efficiency gains, within emerging systems dominated by banks is not conclusive. The direct impact of a composite FinTech Adoption Index (FTI) on the profitability (ROE) and stability (ln(Z-score)) of Bangladesh's commercial banks is explored in this study along with whether operational cost efficiency (CIR

When Model Complexity Matters in Cross-Subject Naturalistic fMRI Prediction
Increasingly complex neural models predict blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) responses to naturalistic stimuli, but the predictive value of this added complexity remains unclear. We ask when pretrained stimulus representations help and how much downstream complexity is needed, with and without recent measured BOLD history. We compare linear diagnostic references and nonlinear predictors across HCP movie fMRI (154 subjects), BOLD Moments (10 subjects), and Algonauts 2025 (4 subjects). Under a s

Nearly Linear-Time Follow-the-Perturbed-Leader for Weakly Observable Graph Bandits
We study online learning with directed weakly observable feedback graphs and propose a Follow-the-Perturbed-Leader (FTPL) policy that achieves best-of-both-worlds guarantee with nearly linear expected time complexity. To preserve the simple structure of FTPL, we develop a novel graph-based loss estimator that combines forced exploration, conditional geometric resampling and adaptive learning rates with surrogate probabilities. Our policy achieves $\tilde{\mathcal{O}}(δ_*^{1/3} T^{2/3})$ regret f
Thermally enhanced magnon-phonon resonance in van der Waals antiferromagnet FePS3
Strong coupling between collective excitations provides a route to controlling quantum states of matter, yet its evolution under thermal fluctuations remains poorly understood. In the van der Waals antiferromagnet FePS3, strong magnon-phonon coupling is established at low temperatures. At the same time, recent terahertz experiments revealed the counterintuitive stabilization of a long-lived metastable magnetic state with an exceedingly long lifetime of 5 msec at the antiferromagnetic transition,

Prizes, Shared Hazard, and the Speed of Frontier AI
Frontier AI labs compete in a contest for commercial leadership while sharing the risk of catastrophe. Each lab gains from arriving earlier but bears only part of the hazard its speed adds, which this paper calls the hazard externality. In an illustrative calibrated takeoff model, three racing labs get through the takeoff period in 18 months, while a common rule on research shares would stretch it to 69 months. Neither force alone explains racing that fast. Removing the contest first closes over

Orbital Hall effect from the Wannier function approach
Using the Wannier function approach, we develop a gauge-covariant formalism for the orbital angular momentum (OAM) operator and the orbital Hall conductivity (OHC). The Wannier function formulation resolves the position-operator ambiguity inherent to Bloch states, providing a transparent and rigorous theory of orbital transport. Our formalism is validated through a finite-lattice calculation of the Haldane model, where the OAM operator is evaluated exactly from its real-space definition. Our res
Visualization and Characterization of Gene Group Distribution Patterns Across Genomes
Genes of the same family often lie close together on a chromosome, yet how far apart family members sit, and whether their spacing follows any pattern, has rarely been measured consistently across genomes. We built an interactive web application that places the members of any of the 1,396 FlyBase gene groups on the banded ideogram of the fruit fly (Drosophila melanogaster) and lists each member's neighbours. While browsing it, we found strikingly symmetric gene sets in which consecutive members

Palantir's U.S. commercial revenue surpassed U.S. government revenue for the first time ever.
Weather Adaptive Autonomous Driving
Camera object detectors lose recall in rain, fog, snow and sand, and the confidence threshold at which a detector is deployed decides how many objects it misses and how many false alarms it raises. We study how a frozen detector should make this decision in adverse weather. We first reproduce SeqCRC, a conformal object detector whose first step calibrates the confidence threshold by conformal risk control (CRC), and use that step, calibrated separately in each weather condition, as our baseline.
Researchers tracked bats across 49 sheep-grazed pastures in Austria; 20 of the country’s 24 bat species were detected, with some small insect-eating bats more active during and after grazing
Sheep grazing can change the conditions that bats encounter when hunting for insects, with some species becoming more active while livestock are on the land and for a short time after they leave. A survey of 49 sheep-grazed pastures in southern Burgenland, Austria, recorded 20 of the region’s 24 bat

Comment on "Long-range magnetic fields in the ground state of the Standard Model plasma"
We revisit the two-loop parity-odd photon polarization analyzed by Boyarsky, Ruchayskiy, and Shaposhnikov [Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 111602 (2012)]. The original calculation neglected opposite- fermion-flow partner diagrams for the tadpole and exchange-bubble topologies alike. We quantify the impact of the properly restored exchange-bubble coefficients on the static magnetic response.

Agreements Have a Clock: Compute Growth and the Verification of AI Restraint
Rival powers have agreed to limit nuclear arms, phase out ozone-depleting chemicals, and cut greenhouse gases, though each agreement was hard to reach. This paper asks what an agreement to pause frontier AI needs. A follower advances through own research and diffusion from the leader. Because diffusion fades as the gap closes, a paused leader stays ahead longer than its raw lead suggests. A solved agreement game adds voluntary entry, costly monitoring, secret advances, and credible responses. Co
