Predicting the Unknown: Smarter Uncertainty Estimates for Physics-Based AI
A new approach focuses uncertainty quantification in neural operator models on key structural components, improving the accuracy and efficiency of predictions for complex physical systems.
The Strange Metal Mystery: Could Quantum Fluctuations Explain Linear Resistivity?
![As a system approaches an electronic quantum critical point, phonon softening and renormalization of the long-wavelength dispersion increase the density of low-energy phonon states, with the thermally excited phonon phase-space volume scaling as [latex]T^{d/z_p}[/latex], where [latex]d[/latex] represents spatial dimension and [latex]z_p[/latex] is the phonon dynamical exponent-a larger [latex]z_p[/latex] indicating a greater low-energy phonon phase space and, consequently, increased scattering potential, particularly when [latex]z_p > d[/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2603.11176v1/x1.png)
New research explores whether the softening of atomic vibrations driven by electronic quantum criticality can account for the unusual linear temperature dependence observed in certain metallic materials.
Bitcoin: The Corporate Gold Rush or Just Another Shiny Rock?
Apparently, corporate treasuries are now the cool kids in the Bitcoin playground, swinging their satchels of cash around like it’s no big deal. Publicly traded companies are tapping into stock and preferred-share financing faster than I can say “market bubble.” And according to industry bigwigs like Blockstream CEO Adam Back, these firms are on track to buy up 10 times the daily mined Bitcoin supply. Because, you know, why not?
Shaping Nuclear Decay: How Carbon Isotopes Reveal the Power of Deformation
![The distributions of B(GT(-)) transition strengths in [latex]^{16}C[/latex] nuclei were analyzed using the SkP, SLy4, and SGII parameterizations, demonstrating the sensitivity of these spectroscopic properties to the chosen nuclear force model.](https://arxiv.org/html/2603.11429v1/x15.png)
A new study delves into the subtle interplay of shape and structure within carbon isotopes to better understand the forces governing nuclear decay.
Bitcoin’s Triumph: Coinbase Cries ‘Peak Pessimism’-But Will It Last?
Renewed strength in bitcoin relative to U.S. equities is fueling optimism about a potential shift in crypto market sentiment. Coinbase Institutional, part of crypto exchange Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN), shared analysis on social media platform X on March 13, highlighting bitcoin’s stronger performance and improving market participation. “Ah, the old adage: when the markets tremble, the crypto crowd dances.”
Guiding AI Code: Securing Generations with Internal Logic
Researchers are demonstrating a way to steer large language models towards creating more secure code by directly influencing their internal thought processes.
Context is King: Smarter Caching for Long-Form AI
A new approach to managing memory in large language models prioritizes the position of data, not just the data itself, enabling more efficient processing of extended text.
Bitcoin’s Wild Ride: Saylor’s $3.35B Oopsie or Genius Move?
Last week, our Virginia-based hero added 17,994 BTC to its collection, dropping $1.28 billion like it’s hot. Average price? A cool $70,946 per coin. That’s right, 102nd purchase, 11th straight week of “I’m definitely not panicking” energy. Someone get this company a shopping intervention.
Tinder Buys Quiet with $60M Payout After Accidentally Pricing Older Users Out of Their Own App!
Per court docs, the company allegedly overcharged California users aged 29+ for Gold plans between 2015 and 2016. The lawsuit, led by some guy named Allan Candelore (a name that sounds like it belongs on a Seinfeld episode), claimed this violated California’s Unruh Act. Tinder, of course, denies everything-because admitting guilt would require a soul.
