CO2-Induced Shifts in the Confined Phase Transformation of CH4 in Metal-Organic Frameworks
A sharp increase in gas uptake over a narrow pressure range can occur for fluids confined in nanoporous materials such as metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), reflecting a transformation between distinct adsorption states, often accompanied by the existence of metastable states. Understanding how co-adsorbed species modify this behavior is important for predicting and optimizing gas storage and separation. Here, we investigate the effect of CO2 on the adsorption transformation of confined CH4 in rig

Optimal Treatment Assignment Rules on Networked Populations
I analyze decision problems where a planner must choose, based on data from an experiment in a pilot population, how to simultaneously distribute a limited number of treatments that generate network spillovers across individuals in a target population. A global treatment rule maps the target population's observed covariates and network features into a jointly feasible allocation. Under local-response, stability, support, and policy-relevant overlap conditions, I identify the resulting welfare us

The Language of Instruction: Genre and Generative AI
This article argues that instruction-fine-tuned language models should be understood as implementing a genre, what is proposed as the instructional-conversational genre. This genre is an amalgamation of discursive language from prior conversations between generative models and humans recursively run through these massive neural networks. It is instantiated in applications through instruction fine-tuning, the inclusion of a pretext known as a system prompt, and the formalization of inputs in mark
Vacancy-enhanced Li solid-solution anodes for solid-state batteries: computational screening enabling high critical current density
Sluggish vacancy-mediated self-diffusion in lithium metal limits the critical current density (CCD) of Li anodes in solid-state batteries by promoting interfacial void formation during stripping. To enhance the effective vacancy concentration while preserving the bcc Li host, we screen 50 substitutional solutes using density functional theory (DFT) within a funnel based on automatic phase diagram construction, solution energies, solute-vacancy binding energies, and experimental solubility limits

Local Polynomial Estimation in Irregular Correlated Random Coefficient Panel Data Models
We study estimation of the average partial effect (APE) in an irregular correlated random coefficients panel data model in which the time dimension equals the number of random coefficients, $T=p$, and the density function is degenerate. We extend Graham and Powell (2012) in two directions. First, we allow the density of $d_i=\det(X_i)$ to vanish or diverge at the origin at the polynomial rate $|d|^{a}$ with $a>-1$, and show that the aggregate time effects and the APE remain identified for every

Shared clones make random cell halves look reproducible in pooled screens
Single-cell perturbation screens are used to train and evaluate models that predict perturbation effects, and model scores are judged against how reproducible the measured effects are. Reproducibility is usually judged by splitting each perturbation's cells into two random halves. This assumes that the halves are independent replicates. In pooled screens such as Perturb-seq, however, the cells carrying a guide RNA descend from a limited number of transduced cells, so two random halves contain th

This Texas startup is turning oil well waste into EV batteries
Across the Permian Basin, the vast, mineral-rich swath of land in West Texas that supplies much of the nation’s crude oil, derricks pump out massive amounts of oil, roughly 6 million barrels a day. But that amount pales in comparison with the amount of dirty, brackish water that’s also extracted during oil drilling. Drilling in the Permian Basin also unearths roughly 26 million barrels of water a day, about the same daily water use as all of New York City. This water is often black-gray

UniAction: Unified Action Conditioning for World Models
Actions that condition world models are highly heterogeneous, and thus existing action-conditioned world models are typically built for individual action types, fragmenting already limited action-annotated data across separate models. We introduce UniAction, a unified action-conditioning framework that represents any action as a sparse set of action elements, each with a discrete semantic identity and a continuous spatiotemporal grounding coordinate. By mapping these coordinates directly into th

Delayed Retirement, Intergenerational Transfers, and Fertility
Population aging and fertility decline are occurring simultaneously worldwide, straining labor supply and pension systems. China began a gradual delayed-retirement (GDR) reform in 2025, raising statutory retirement ages on different schedules for men, female cadres, and female workers across birth cohorts. To evaluate its effects on older individuals and within the family, we develop a model of older adults' retirement, intergenerational transfers, and adult children's fertility decisions, with

SceneBloom: Agentic Indoor Environment Generation with Realistic and Diverse Layouts for Embodied Learning
Training generalizable embodied agents requires realistic, varied, and simulation-ready indoor environments. Language-guided methods support semantic planning and object-level reasoning, but precise spatial grounding remains difficult. Visual generative models offer rich priors over plausible arrangements, yet their outputs require geometric reasoning to become physically valid 3D scenes. We introduce SceneBloom, an agentic framework that combines visual layout sampling with contract-guided 3D c

Computational De Novo Design of Miniprotein Candidate Neutralizers Targeting the IL-23 Cytokine Subunit p19
Interleukin-23 (IL-23) drives T-helper-17 inflammation underlying inflammatory bowel disease and psoriasis; anti-p19 antibodies are clinically effective but large, costly, and injectable. De novo miniproteins are an attractive alternative, yet published designs target the IL-23 receptor; the IL-23 cytokine itself has not been addressed. A further obstacle is that the standard confidence score (ipTM) tracks construct length rather than interface quality. We computationally design miniprotein bind

Are boards preparing to fight the last war?
In the 1930s, France built the Maginot Line. This was a series of fortifications—fortresses, weapons, and various obstacles to invasion—that was more than 200 miles long. The Line was built for a world of static warfare, for a world of entrenched positions and slow, drawn-out military engagements. It was in many ways a magnificent achievement and would have been of extraordinary military value—in World War I. The problem, of course, was that World War I was over a decade prior. In May 1940, G

State inference and parameter learning for nonlinear filters is a core computation for scientific machine learning with varied applications in engineering and neuroscience. The unnormalized filtering distribution is governed by the Zakai equation, a stochastic partial differential equation (SPDE) that combines the forward Kolmogorov operator (known as the Fokker-Planck equation) with observed likelihood updates. Although solving these high-dimensional SPDEs is often impossible analytically and i

‘Mesoamerican Modern’ redefines how we understand Mexican architecture
To walk through Mexico City is to stroll down centuries at once. The ruins of the Aztec empire are exposed on the ground beside colonial structures built from the same stones that once made up the ancient temples. A few blocks farther, 1900s European-inspired townhouses are pressed against 1940s Art Deco apartments, and modern skyscrapers shoulder through the city’s diverse skyline. Outside Mexico’s capital, a similar trend holds true. Various aesthetics that would otherwise seem incompatible
