Twisted Light: Phonon Control of Excitons in Moiré Superlattices
![The study demonstrates that interlayer excitons in heterostructures of 2H-MoSe2/WSe2 exhibit helicity-dependent photoluminescence, revealing distinct excitation pathways: direct electronic transitions following resonant excitation of individual layer excitons or interlayer singlets, and chiral-phonon-assisted excitation which transfers pseudo-angular momentum to the excitonic system, ultimately influencing the formation of interlayer excitons with specific polarization characteristics [latex]IX^{-}_{T}[/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2512.21125v1/Figures/Article_Fig3-V3_bis.png)
Researchers have discovered a way to selectively excite and control the chirality of interlayer excitons trapped within moiré superlattices using chiral optical phonons.

XRP is currently residing at $1.84, which is a decline of 14.63% since the start of the year. Which, frankly, is less alarming than some breakfasts we’ve had. Analysts are predicting it’ll…stay put. Until 2026, naturally. Because why rush things?

Just as Final Fantasy 14 released its latest update, version 7.4, players in North America experienced frustrating server problems. Many were randomly disconnected from the game, though not everyone was affected. Initially, Square Enix and players thought a cyberattack was to blame, but it turned out a problem with equipment managed by the Japanese company NTT was the likely cause. Some resourceful players found a temporary fix by using VPNs to route their connections around the faulty equipment while Square Enix worked on a permanent solution.

В отличие от «серьёзных» проектов, мемкоины не продают дорожных карт или «фундаментов» – они продают участие, внимание и скоростной заезд в пропасть. Нет обещаний, нет планов, только вайбсы… и миллиарды на балансе (в 2026). Но давайте разберёмся: мемкоины не притворяются. Нет белой бумаги, которую стоит прочесть – и тем более понять. Нет «десятилетней мечты». Обычно есть собака, лягушка или шутка, которую интернет забудет через час.

Let’s be real, I’ve seen so many games launch broken and basically fall apart. But it’s rare to see one actually turn things around and become something amazing. When it does happen though, those games can end up being some of my all-time favorites. I’m gonna highlight five games that seriously pulled off an incredible comeback from a really rough start.

Developed by AdHoc Studio, Dispatch quickly became a standout indie game in 2025. It tells the unique story of Robert Robertson III, formerly the superhero Mecha Man, who now works as an emergency dispatcher for a team of reformed supervillains. Despite strong competition from Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Dispatch received nominations for Best Debut Indie Game and Players Voice at The Game Awards 2025. It’s been incredibly well-received on Steam, earning an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating with 97% of players recommending it.
As data centers grow in scale, a novel approach to grid resilience using braking resistors is emerging to address challenges posed by increasing inverter-based resources.

It wasn’t long ago, just a knee to Christmas in the last chapter, when our hero Logan, erstwhile internet luminary turned fervent collector, announced his intent to sell this prized artifact. Ah, what joy! For quite a spell, his precious Pikachu has captured the imagination of the masses, twinkling in its glass prison like a refined jewel. 🎩

It’s common for players to experience crashes or freezes while playing games. Because The Sims 4 doesn’t automatically save your game, players often worry about losing progress, particularly after playing for a long time.

Although newer Pokemon games are readily available on Nintendo’s current consoles, older titles have become increasingly rare and valuable. Games from the third generation, like Pokemon Emerald and the FireRed and LeafGreen remakes, are especially hard to find and sought after by collectors. Pokemon Emerald is highly praised for its extensive post-game content, and FireRed and LeafGreen were the first reimaginings of the original Pokemon games. Recently, a fan thought they were incredibly lucky to find these games, but it turned out to be a prank.
