ScienceBuddy: Recursive-in-Recursive Self-Improvement for Interactive Scientific Agents
We introduce and release ScienceBuddy, an interactive scientific research workspace that brings continually improving scientific agents into researchers' everyday workflows. ScienceBuddy supports researchers in carrying out scientific tasks while transforming their requests, feedback, and execution evidence into tasks and evaluation rubrics for continual learning. At its core is recursive-in-recursive self-improvement, a paradigm that couples harness evolution with model reinforcement learning:

Learning Options for Compositional Motor Control with Adapter Banks
Learning flexible motor primitives is a hallmark of skilled motor control. Recent neuroscience theory proposes that motor primitives may be implemented as low-rank perturbations of a shared recurrent network, but leaves open how such a system is learned. We translate this principle into a novel architecture for learning motor skills end-to-end: a shared recurrent core modulated by a bank of residual adapters, each selected by a discrete latent code. Trained on closed-loop biomechanical control,

Mapping AI Economic Complexity
Green economic complexity provides a generalizable framework for examining countries' productive capabilities in a defined product set. We apply this framework to AI-enabling goods within the full product space, linking current specialization with adjacent diversification opportunities. Using BACI exports for 2007-2023 and 103 AI-enabling goods, we measure complexity-weighted specialization (AECI), product-level adjacent opportunities (AIAP), and average complexity-weighted relatedness of remain

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,

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-
$B$-sure. Part II. Scattering transforms as robustness test for tensor-to-scalar ratio detection from CMB observations
Galactic foregrounds represent a major contamination to the measurement of primordial $B$-modes from observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background polarisation. Even after the application of component separation algorithms, foreground residuals may potentially still bias the estimate of the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$, causing a false detection. In this work, we present the methodology of a robustness test for the validation of an eventual detection of primordial $B$-modes, as obtained by a fut
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

Conformal Policy Learning with Distribution-Free Safety Guarantees
Policy learning aims to determine who should be treated based on individual characteristics. In high-stakes settings such as medicine and public policy where safety is a central concern, improving the average outcomes alone may not be sufficient: decision makers may also seek to protect individuals from harm, in line with the Hippocratic principle of ``do no harm.'' In this paper, we propose \textit{conformal policy learning} (CPL), a policy learning procedure with a new distribution-free safety

Agentic Societies Need a Social Harness
An agentic society is a collection of AI agents that coordinate autonomously across trust boundaries, on behalf of different principals whose objectives may only partially align. We show experimentally that in agentic societies even honest, competent agents often fail to reach satisfactory outcomes with existing harnesses and messaging primitives, and that faulty or malicious agents can stall collaboration, influence outcomes, and pursue other harmful goals by exploiting vulnerabilities in commu

The chemistry of embrittlement: How hydrogen dwindles cohesion in iron during fracture
Normally strong and tough, steel$\unicode{x2014}$with iron as its base$\unicode{x2014}$falls prey to severe embrittlement when infiltrated by hydrogen; the insights into why are not well understood. This work explores how hydrogen affects bond strength in iron during fracture and why it reduces cohesion between fracture surfaces, laying bare the central role of electrostatic repulsion.

Are first impressions as important as we think?
Although most people see themselves as open-minded, we all tend to judge others before we truly get to know them. Prejudging people before we even properly interact with them is the norm, and the origin of the term prejudice. And yet, we can also learn to give people the benefit of the doubt and coach ourselves to suspend rapid and stereotypical evaluations of others when we want—it’s just that it requires far more effort (thinking slow rather than fast) and . . . is by no means guaranteed to

Graphlets as structural fingerprints of complex networks
Complex networks are often compared using selected graph-theoretical measures that capture a selected set of properties with effects ranging from local to global, such as degree, clustering or betweenness centrality. Here we introduce a structural fingerprinting framework based on graphlets: small rooted subgraphs whose distributions provide a systematic description of local-to-mesoscale topology. Across synthetic networks generated from several random graph models, graphlet fingerprints capture

AI makes the right to repair more tempting than ever
Our lives are littered with devices we don’t understand. We don’t know why the microwave suddenly beeps just past midnight, or why the dishwasher won’t run unless it’s been unplugged and then replugged three times, or why the laptop charges only when we push in the cord at that weird angle. Sometimes it seems like these questions are simply impossible to answer, preternatural quirks that can be fixed solely by calling a professional. Or these days, by opening up the ChatGPT app. Co
