Researchers have demonstrated electrically tunable quantum interference in free space by harnessing the unique properties of liquid-crystal metasurfaces to create a programmable beam splitter for structured light.
This story is different from most Agatha Christie novels because it doesn’t include her famous detectives, Hercule Poirot or Miss Marple. Instead, the mystery is solved by an amateur investigator named Lady Eileen ‘Bundle’ Brent, who is portrayed by Mia McKenna-Bruce.
![The lattice [latex]TT[/latex] operator exhibits a directional dependence in its corrective terms, where the complementary product of variables [latex]X[/latex] and [latex]Y[/latex] across linked structures-specifically, [latex]X[/latex] on a purple link with [latex]Y[/latex] on an orange triangular plaquette, or [latex]Y[/latex] on a purple square and triangular plaquettes multiplied by [latex]X[/latex] on an orange link-introduces an asymmetry in the lower layer’s corrective calculation.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.04318v1/plot/cup_0_2_1_x.png)
Researchers have developed a lattice gauge theory model of U(1) Chern-Simons theory, offering a concrete framework to study topological order and resolve long-standing questions about the framing anomaly.

It’s usually difficult to say exactly why a meme becomes popular. But with the “Bully Maguire” and “Emo Peter Parker” memes from Spider-Man 3, their recent surge in popularity seems connected to the renewed appreciation for Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man films, especially after his return in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
New research combines analytical techniques with lattice simulations to probe the complex behavior of interacting fermions confined to a single dimension.
HIDIVE has announced that all 12 episodes of the anime series Princess Principal will be available to stream starting January 20, 2026. However, the film Princess Principal: Crown Handler won’t be added to the platform at this time.
I still think about the original Planet of the Apes from 1968 all the time. Okay, the special effects haven’t aged perfectly, and it can be a little tough to watch now, but it really broke new ground for sci-fi horror. There are so many memorable scenes, but that final shot? It’s burned into my brain. Even if you’ve never seen the movie, you’ve probably seen something referencing it – it’s been copied and joked about so many times. But honestly, after 58 years, that ending is still the most shocking and terrifying moment in any sci-fi film, in my opinion.
Former High School Musical 3 actor was arrested in Victoria, Texas, on December 24th. Authorities confirmed to TopMob News on January 10th that he is facing several charges, including possessing or distributing child pornography, according to the Victoria County Sheriff’s Office.
![The study demonstrates a shift in optimization strategy for inverse problems, moving from minimization of displacement discrepancy-quantified by [latex]\sum\_{i}\Delta u\_{i}^{2}(\boldsymbol{\epsilon})[/latex]-to minimization of constraint force magnitude, expressed as [latex]\sum\_{i}\lambda\_{i}^{2}(\boldsymbol{\epsilon})[/latex], thereby altering the fundamental objective function governing model parameter estimation.](https://arxiv.org/html/2601.04557v1/stacking.png)
A new analysis reveals the limitations of the Constraint Force Method for optimal experimental design, demonstrating its inherent bias towards measurements in stiff regions.
