Rubric-CEPR: Self-Evolving Image Editing via Reward-Verified Self-Distillation
Instruction-guided image editors have become highly capable, yet improving them further still depends on human-edited training pairs or external reward models. Such supervision is costly to obtain and can reward plausible failures: a realistic output may leave the requested change undone or alter content that should be preserved. In this work, we strive to improve a pretrained image editor using only its own generations, without human-edited targets or an external training-time reward model. To
A scalar-extended ${\rm U(1)_{L_μ-L_τ}}$ explanation of the LUX-ZEPLIN 248 keV excess
The recently observed dark matter (DM) nuclear recoil event at an energy of $248 \pm 23\,(\text{stat.}) \pm 23\,(\text{syst.})\,\text{keV}$ at the LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) experiment, favoring an inelastic scattering interpretation, has motivated various beyond the Standard Model (BSM) scenarios aimed at explaining the observed excess. In particular, this provides an opportunity to probe models that naturally accommodate inelastic DM scattering. In this work, we explore one such possibility by extending

Would you pay $660 for a handbag made from a used truck tarp?
For decades, the luxury industry has sold handbags on the strength of their leather. Brands wax poetic about full-grain calfskin, supple lambskin, and the family-owned tanneries that produce them. But would you spend $600 on a luxury bag made from a used truck tarp? Freitag, the design-forward Swiss bag brand, is betting on it. The company is launching a new premium line called Reference that features four bags, ranging from delicate baguettes to roomy totes, priced from $460 to $660. The

Kindle page-turn buttons are back
Under normal circumstances, I would be overjoyed that Amazon has rediscovered the appeal of dedicated page-turn buttons on its Kindle e-readers. Neither of my current models—a first-generation Scribe and a Colorsoft—have those buttons, and I miss them every time I pick up each device. What’s the big deal, you might ask? Don’t you use touchscreens every day? Well, yes, but that’s kind of the point. A big reason I like e-readers is they help me get into a different headspace. Moving my thum

Trump: 'Saying AI instead of super intelligence makes you the enemy’

However, he seems to be spending more and more of his time focusing on renaming things and creating pointless culture wars in t
Lyapunov spectrum of random neural networks
The Lyapunov spectrum of a nonlinear recurrent neural network with random asymmetric couplings is calculated in the limit $N\to\infty$. The calculation is based on a finite-$N$ identity that expresses the cumulative distribution of Lyapunov exponents as a response function of the tangent-space dynamics, with the tangent trajectory selected by a minimum-norm condition rather than by an initial condition. A cavity method then determines this response function at large $N$ through a self-consistent

This AI-powered brain implant hints at the future of human interaction
For the first time, a single brain implant can now read a paralyzed person’s attempts to speak and gesture at the same time, turning them into text and the gestures of a digital avatar. According to the research paper published in Nature, the device uses artificial intelligence models to read the brain and transform its impulses into speech and body language. Current brain-computer interfaces (BCI) can decode only one thing at a time. You can either reliably translate speech or yo

Neural Decoding as Cognitive Inference
The brain maintains stable cognition despite continuously changing neural activity. How to extract stable cognitive states from variable neural observations remains a central problem in neural decoding. Existing neural decoding methods map neural observations to predefined external labels based on the stimulus-response principle, often capturing recording-specific spurious correlations. Inspired by how the brain infers the world, and specifically by Bayesian brain theory, we recast neural decodi

Dex-One2Many: Learning Dexterous Manipulation from a Single Human Demonstration
While learning dexterous manipulation from a single human video offers a promising alternative to costly robot demonstrations, many recent methods predominantly imitate demonstrated motions. Such strict motion matching often limits generalization to initial object poses, goal poses, and grasps not shown in the video. Alternatively, discovering a policy via reinforcement learning (RL) allows for broad generalization, but without prior guidance, it struggles with high-dimensional exploration in co
Nasa struggled to find a safe sampling site on asteroid Bennu; Queen guitarist Brian May used his little-known 3D imaging skills to reveal its treacherous terrain
A rock musician working at a computer might seem an unlikely figure in an asteroid-sampling mission, but Brian May brought a specialist skill to Nasa’s search for a place to land on Bennu. The Queen guitarist, who also holds a doctorate in astrophysics, helped scientists turn spacecraft photographs
La-Ribo: RNA Co-Design via Geometry-Latent Flow Matching
RNA function arises from the coupling of nucleotide sequence and three-dimensional structure, motivating their joint design. Coordinating global folding with nucleotide-level detail remains challenging under limited structural supervision. We introduce La-Ribo, a generative framework for RNA sequence-structure co-design via geometry-latent flow matching. La-Ribo retains a sparse phosphate-sugar--base scaffold and encodes nucleotide identity and local conformation in residue-wise latents. A share

America’s next family car might look a lot like a golf cart
For decades, automakers have been designing cars to look like they have faces. Headlights resemble eyes, grilles look like mouths, and the shape of a hood can give a vehicle something resembling an expression. That is, of course, no accident. Designers have long played on our tendency to see human features in inanimate objects, giving sports cars aggressive scowls and family-friendly vehicles softer, more approachable expressions. The idea is to make us feel something about a car before we ever

DreamTrue: Action-Faithful Robot World Model with Counterfactual Post-Training
We present DreamTrue, a multi-view, cross-embodiment robot world model for action-faithful and physically plausible video prediction. Training such a model on existing robot datasets faces two obstacles: imprecise calibration can impair action following, while limited coverage of unsuccessful interactions can bias predictions toward successful outcomes. To improve action following across embodiments, we render action trajectories into image-space conditions and introduce offline geometric calibr
Cosmic topology. Part IId. Eigenmodes and correlation matrices of lens spaces
The global topology of the Universe is a longstanding open question. In this work, we examine the statistical signatures of a positively curved universe with a Friedmann--Lemaitre--Robertson--Walker metric and the topology of a lens space $L(p,q)$. Since these manifolds are generally statistically anisotropic and inhomogeneous, their cosmic microwave background (CMB) covariance matrices contain non-zero off-diagonal entries that depend on observer location. We compute these full harmonic-space c

This luxury mall in L.A. survived the wildfires—but not without a lot of help
Palisades Village, the high-end outdoor mall in Los Angeles’s Pacific Palisades, is a rare chunk of the neighborhood that wasn’t destroyed in the wildfires that struck the region in January 2025. More than 6,800 structures perished in the Palisades fire, but aside from a few singed awnings and roasted patio cushions, the mall was relatively unscathed. After a year-and-a-half smoke cleanup and refresh, the shopping destination recently reopened, even as the neighborhood around it rema
