Vanilla Scotogenic Model at the future Muon Collider
The vanilla scotogenic model (VSM) featuring three right-handed neutrinos and an inert scalar doublet, offers a unified explanation of neutrino masses, dark matter (DM), and the baryon asymmetry of the Universe through leptogenesis. The typical mass scale of such a scenario lies in the vicinity of $\sim$ 10 TeV and above, whereas enhanced second-generation Yukawa couplings lower the leptogenesis scale to $\sim 1$ \TeV, allowing the model to be probed at the future muon colliders. Adhering to DM,

SaltyMeta: a curated benchmark and protein language model-informed web tool for salty peptide prediction
Excess sodium intake remains a major public health challenge, while salty and saltiness-enhancing peptides offer a potential route to preserve sensory saltiness in reduced-sodium foods. Machine-learning studies of salty peptides, however, are constrained by small datasets, heterogeneous evidence standards, uncertain negative labels, and sequence similarity leakage. Here we present SaltyMeta, a curated benchmark and web-accessible screening framework for salty or saltiness-enhancing short peptide

PhysStream: Streaming Physics-Grounded Video Generation with Structured Scene Memory and Fine-Grained Motion Control
Interactive control for video generation is moving from coarse prompts toward fine-grained, physically meaningful manipulation of dynamic scenes. Yet existing controllable methods either require the full control schedule before generation starts, or use pixel-space signals that dictate object positions rather than physical dynamics. To address these limitations, we propose PhysStream, an autoregressive model for physics-grounded image-to-video synthesis that incorporates structured scene memory-
