The midterm elections’ blue wave could throw a wrench in SpaceX’s mobile ambitions
Elon Musk has made no secret of his hopes of turning SpaceX into a viable competitor to mobile companies like Verizon and AT&T. But with the Democrats’ resounding victory in the 2026 midterm elections, that plan is suddenly thrown into question. SpaceX has been busy over the past month making deals and positioning itself to step into the mobile space. In October, it bought an 800 MHz spectrum portfolio from private equity firm Grain Management, which had acquired it from T-Mobile fo

Blue Origin says it is building a higher-performing rocket engine at 1/4 the cost
KENNEDY SPACE CENTER, Fla.—Blue Origin announced two significant upgrades to its New Glenn rocket on Thursday, reducing the cost of manufacturing the vehicle and expanding its capacity for payload delivery to geostationary orbit and the Moon. With these upgrades, the company aims to eventually position New Glenn to launch more than 1,000 times a year. "There has never been higher demand for launch, ever," Dave Limp, chief executive officer of Blue Origin, said during the UP.Summit conference at the Shuttle Landing Facility in Florida.Read full article Comments

Kinetic models of a K channel with 2 stage voltage sensor activation and an opening step
The activation of a K channel with 2 voltage sensors and a separate opening step may be described by a 4 state kinetic equation. If $k_{o}$ and $k_{c}$ are the opening and closing rates, and $α$ and $β$ are the voltage sensor rates such that $k_{o}$ $\ggα,k_{c}\ggβ$ and $k_{o}$ $\gg k_{c}$, the kinetic equation may be reduced to a 3 state model where the effective backward rate from the activated-open state is $2βk_{c}/(k_{o}+k_{c})$. However, if a K channel voltage sensor activates in 2 stages,

Economies of scale and the equity-efficiency trade-off: Evidence from a piped water network in rural Bangladesh
Policymakers who set prices for public infrastructure often anticipate an equity-efficiency trade-off: while higher prices could increase revenues from fee-paying users, helping to offset costs, they may reduce take-up among the poor. But this trade-off is fundamentally altered in the presence of economies of scale, which are common in infrastructure networks. We elicit willingness to pay for a household-level piped drinking water connection in rural Bangladesh, where truthful revelation of pref

Do You Miss the Nights We Spent Crafting Figures? Rethinking Teaser and Framework Figures in the Age of Generative AI
Scientific figures give research ideas a visual form through choices of abstraction, composition, and emphasis. Generative AI offers new ways to realize these choices, raising questions about explanatory clarity and purposeful visual expression. We examine these questions through a visual retrospective of 371 motivation and framework figures from 200 papers. The corpus comprises a quota-based main sample of 160 papers spanning four temporal periods and a separate purposive style-contrast sample
Joint analysis of the Macquart relation and the dispersion measure power spectrum: cross-covariance and redshift self-calibration
The dispersion measures (DMs) of fast radio bursts (FRBs) trace ionised baryons along the line of sight, probing baryonic feedback. Two complementary observables can be constructed from an FRB catalogue: the DM-redshift (Macquart) relation of host-identified FRBs, and the angular power spectrum of the DM field of the full catalogue. Their joint analysis requires their cross-covariance. We derive it within the halo model and show it is a super-sample effect: only the monopole of an individual DM

Where and Why is Grounded Reasoning Useful?
Grounded reasoning, where a model outputs text coordinates of relevant locations in chain-of-thought reasoning, is a common strategy for solving complex visual reasoning problems. However, the benefits and limitations of grounded reasoning are understudied. We study where and why grounded reasoning is most useful. To do so, we introduce a chain-of-thought analysis method to measure how much a model uses its outputted grounding in its thinking trace and perform a detailed ablation study of a grou
Torsion talks only to spin: the CMB temperature as a test of energy exchange in Einstein-Cartan cosmology
The cosmic microwave background temperature at $z=0.886$ is known to $2\%$ from molecular absorption towards PKS~1830$-$211; CO absorbers and Sunyaev-Zel'dovich clusters extend the measurement to $z\simeq3$. We use them on a question that cosmologies with torsion leave open. When the geometry exchanges energy with several matter components, which of them receives it? In Einstein-Cartan theory the Noether identities of each sector fix the answer. A sector's energy-momentum fails to be conserved o

Cross-Border Ownership and Input Access: Evidence from the Lithium Supply Chain
How does cross-border ownership shape the lithium supply chain? Using global data on mines and refineries, I estimate a model in which ownership can lower refiners' effective ore costs, encourage mines to restrict spot sales, and soften competition. To study these effects, I examine policies motivated by national security concerns about reliable access to critical mineral inputs: divestiture of Chinese stakes in overseas producers and a ban on ore exports to China. Divestiture increases spot ore

Same Behavior, Different Mechanism: What Finite Experiments Can Certify About Integrated Information
Interpretability, AI auditing and assessments of machine consciousness increasingly rest on mechanism-level quantities: functionals of a system's causal transition law that describe how it computes, not what it outputs. Experiments see that law only through finite, partial and noisy interventions. We ask when such a quantity is identifiable from an experiment's access, continuous in the mechanism and certifiable from finite data, and answer exactly for a deliberately demanding case - the integra

Patch Attention Wisely: Understanding Patch Length in Attention-Based Forecasting
Attention-based time series forecasters commonly group consecutive observations into patches. Patch length is known to have a substantial impact on forecasting performance, yet its selection remains largely empirical. We develop a theoretical framework that explains why patch length matters for forecasting accuracy and provides a principled basis for its selection. For linear state-space models, we derive an exact factorization of the forecasting coefficient matrix that separates forecast dynami

User Embeddings are Superpositions of Interpretable Behavioral Modes
User embeddings are central components of modern recommendation, personalization, and behavioral modeling systems. Though these embeddings can compactly encode rich behavioral information, they are inherently dense and opaque, limiting interpretability. To address this gap, we argue that user embeddings can be understood as sparse superpositions of interpretable behavioral modes. This structure is directly predicted by generative models of user behavior for linear embeddings and extends approxim

Interpretable many-body interaction laws for collective motion from few trajectories
Models of collective motion usually reduce social interactions to pairwise forces, despite empirical evidence for many-body effects. We introduce the directional atomic cluster expansion (dACE), which adapts the atomic cluster expansion (ACE) of interatomic potentials to self-propelled agents. dACE provides a systematically improvable, exactly equivariant expansion of an agent's acceleration that splits uniquely into 1-, 2-, 3-body and higher contributions, along with a self term for the agent's
