Scalable quantum photonic platform based on site-controlled quantum dots coupled to circular Bragg grating resonators

Scalable marker-free integration of site-controlled quantum dots into circular Bragg grating resonators enables a high-yield array of bright, pure, and highly indistinguishable single-photon sources.

Brain Morphology Mediators of the Association of Childhood Trauma With Bipolar Disorder: An International ENIGMA Bipolar Disorder Working Group Study

This case-control study analyzes the mediating effects of brain morphology on the association of childhood trauma with bipolar disorder.

Polyamine homeostasis in Caenorhabditis elegans relies primarily on transport

Chang and Jain develop a genetically encoded reporter to measure polyamines at single-cell resolution in C. elegans. By mapping polyamine control across tissues and development, they uncover organizing principles of in vivo polyamine regulation, including widespread reliance on transport and a central role for the intestine in coordinating systemic homeostasis.

Detectability of covert fissile material production in nuclear fusion reactors via antineutrino emissions

Research and development of fusion energy has recently gained a strong impetus from private investment. While less of a proliferation risk than conventional fission systems, modified fusion systems could produce material usable in nuclear weapons. This paper examines an innovative use of antineutrino detectors to find misuse of fusion systems. Since antineutrinos are so penetrating, this technique carries near-zero interference with fusion energy system operation.
