Effects of cosmic-ray muons on ? eV-to-meV scale axion dark matter searches
Published on 2026-09-01 by Dan Zhang, Gray Rybka, Edward J Daw and Robyn Evren @IOP SCIENCE
Abstract: We estimate the synchrotron radiation emitted by cosmic-ray muons in a uniform magnetic field, focusing on the photon radiation from eV to meV. Such events can potentially bring backgrounds to the axion dark matter searches. The GEANT4 software package is utilized to simulate the muon tracks in a cylindrical region of interest with an 8 T solenoid magnetic field applied. We further develop an analytical estimation of the angular-frequency-differential synchrotron radiation power spectra in this [...]
Our summary: This study estimates synchrotron radiation from cosmic-ray muons in a magnetic field relevant to axion dark matter searches. Simulations using GEANT4 show that cosmic-ray muons do not dominate noise backgrounds for current eV-scale experiments. Future broadband axion dark matter searches may be affected by synchrotron radiation if energy resolution is insufficient.

Cascaded optomechanical sensing for small signals
Published on 2026-08-13 by Marta Maria Marchese, Daniel Braun, Stefan Nimmrichter and Dennis Rtzel @IOP SCIENCE
Abstract: We propose a sensing scheme for detecting weak forces that achieves sensitivity scaling proportional to the number of individual sensors without relying on entanglement or other non-classical resources. Our scheme utilizes coherent averaging across a chain of optomechanical cavities, unidirectionally coupled via a laser beam. As the beam passes through the cavities, it accumulates phase shifts induced by a common external force acting on the mechanical elements. Remarkably, this fully classical [...]
Our summary: This work presents a sensing scheme for detecting weak forces using cascaded optomechanical cavities. It achieves sensitivity scaling proportional to the number of sensors without relying on quantum resources.

Superresolution of practical two-point passive sources via physics-trained machine learning
Patent published on the 2026-07-09 in US under Ref US20260195853 by THE TRUSTEES OF THE STEVENS INST OF TECHNOLOGY [US] (Qian Xiaofeng [us], Sajia Abdelali [us], Benzimoun Bilal [us])
Abstract: [0000] An advanced superresolution method to estimate sub-wavelength separations of practical two-point sources is presented herein. This method begins with a theoretical framework that accounts for realistic, unknown source properties such as partial coherence, brightness imbalance, and random phase. A physics-informed machine learning model is then trained to handle source-independent imperfections, including background noise, photon loss, and uncertainties in the center position and orientati[...]
Our summary: This study presents a superresolution method for estimating sub-wavelength separations of two-point sources. It utilizes a physics-informed machine learning model to address source-independent imperfections. The method is applicable to various fields, including astrophysical and biological imaging, without needing prior knowledge of source properties.

The Role of the Magnetic Field Orientation and Strength on the Electrodeposition of Ni-Fe Bifunctional Electrocatalyst for Hydrogen Evolution Reaction and Oxygen Evolution Reaction
Published on 2026-02-03 by Safya Elsharkawy, Mateusz M. Marzec, Piotr ?abi?ski @MDPI
Abstract: Ni–Fe alloys were prepared via electrodeposition from a citrate electrolyte under different magnetic field (MF) strengths (0.1 T, 0.3 T, and 0.5 T) and configurations parallel (B‖) and perpendicular (B⊥) to the electrode surface. The magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) induced by the magnetic field influences their structural, compositional, and electrocatalytic properties. The application of an external homogeneous magnetic field significantly altered the alloy m[...]
