This paper uses a nontraditional bottom-up route to obtain macroscopic evolution laws from a deterministic microscopic model of a metal/mixed-ionic–electronic-conductor/metal nanodevice through explicitly stated reductions. The enlarged microscopic system contains the many-electron state, mobile ions and charged defec…

Traditional descriptions of interparticle forces rely heavily on scalar interaction potentials that depend solely on the separation distance between particles. This scalar framework, while effective for many isotropic systems, fails to capture subtle directional dependencies that arise in complex materials, such as li…

The performance of ultra-high-performance fiber-reinforced concrete (UHPFRC) under repeated low-velocity impacts, particularly in the context of nominally fixed boundaries relevant to protective structures, remains underexplored. In practice, protective components made of UHPFRC, such as falling object barriers and ve…

The concept of a self‑organized electron orbital network (SEO‑N) proposes that, in contrast to the conventional view that electrons simply occupy fixed atomic or molecular orbitals, a large ensemble of electronic orbitals can form a dynamic, topologically governed network. The network is described as a graph G_e = (V,…

Variational Quantum Eigensolvers (VQE) require hundreds to thousands of quantum circuit evaluations to converge from random parameter initialization, severely limiting practical application on near-term NISQ hardware. We investigate whether a 13,156-parameter transformer encoder trained on Hamiltonian-to-optimal-param…

Abstract Revealing dynamical structural evolution during cycling is crucial for stable, fast-charging graphite anodes in lithium-ion batteries. However, coupling mechanisms among carbon-layer behaviors, (de)lithiation/diffusion, and defect regulation remain insufficiently understood. Here, we developed an automated wo…

ABSTRACT Fluorinated solvents, salts, and binders are widely used in modern rechargeable batteries. High durability and superior high‐rate ability are often attributed to fluorine‐rich interphases or fluorine‐tuned solvation structures. To date, fluorine‐free battery development is still nascent, with the interphases…

Let x = A/B ∈ (0,1) be reduced and set κ(x) = log(B/A)/log B. This paper develops a height-stable lacunary rigidity theorem for rational coefficients and applies it to exact irrationality-exponent problems for Mahler, Hone, Sturmian, Hecke–Mahler, Engel–Lüroth, and related families. For α = Σⱼ≥1 cⱼx^{hⱼ} with cⱼ ∈ ℚ×…

The lifetime of a quantum state has traditionally been associated only with its energy spectrum and environmental coupling. In this work we propose a new paradigm in which the topological properties of the underlying matter wave play a decisive role in determining the longevity of quantum coherence. We introduce the c…
