The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 2,143 new measurements from 709 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and baryons. We summarize searches for hypothetical particles such as supersymmetric particles, heavy bosons, axions, dark ph

We review the physics opportunities of the Future Circular Collider, covering its e+e-, pp, ep and heavy ion programmes. We describe the measurement capabilities of each FCC component, addressing the study of electroweak, Higgs and strong interactions, the top quark and flavour, as well as phenomena beyond the Standard Model. We highlight the synergy and complementarity of the different colliders,

To address the flammability issues limiting polymer applications, phosphorus-containing flame retardants have received increasing attention as halogen-free alternatives. In this study, two phosphorus-containing methacrylate monomers, diphenylphosphinyl methacrylate (DPMA, +1 oxidation state, P–Ph bond) and diphenylphosphoryloxy methacrylate (DPOMA, +5 oxidation state, P–O–C bond), were synthesized

This article examines how lying by state agents can violate various human rights, including freedoms of opinion and expression, the right to health, and the right to participate in public affairs. The article argues that human rights law will apply regardless of whether states lie to their own people or to peoples of other states. The article also argues that lying by state agents can be justified

Male childlessness in late adulthood is increasingly prevalent in rural China, raising concerns about later-life care and welfare sustainability. While research has examined individual predictors and macro-level conditions, little is known about how these factors interact within the broader structure-agency context. This study, guided by a life course perspective, explores the structural factors s

Since 2002, Swedish higher education institutions have been mandated by the Higher Education Act to actively promote widening participation. However, there is no national definition of widening participation, leaving each institution to define its own objectives. This article investigates how teachers at Lund University in Sweden understand and implement widening participation, examining their perSince 2002, Swedish higher education institutions have been mandated by the Higher Education Act to actively promote widening participation. However, there is no national definition of widening participation, leaving each institution to define its own objectives. This article investigates how teachers at Lund University in Sweden understand and implement widening participation, examining their per

Lagging fires pose a significant safety risk in industrial systems where organic contaminants interact with lagging (insulation) materials. This study used isothermal calorimetry to investigate factors influencing the self-heating and ignition propensity of various C18-based substances and rapeseed oil, as contaminants in the lagging. The contaminant and lagging under investigation were added to g

The aviation industry's decarbonization requires sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) feedstocks that do not compete with food resources. In this context, black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) lipids represent a non-food, second-generation feedstock with strong potential for drop-in SAF production. This work presents an integrated evaluation of BSFL-derived lipids hydroprocessed over a commercial Ce/La-doped

Measurements of methane (CH4) molecules containing two rare isotopes (13CH3D and 12CH2D2), also termed doubly substituted or "clumped" isotopologues, have the potential to provide two additional isotopic dimensions to help investigate the mechanisms underlying global atmospheric trends in CH4. In this work, we summarise the current state of research on doubly substituted CH4 isotopologues, with an

Molecular docking is a computational approach that predicts interactions between ligands and protein targets based on binding energies. In this study, the potential interactions of 1,8-cineole -one of the dominant components of Eucalyptus globulus oil- with the main protease (Mpro) and macrodomain (MacI) of SARS-CoV-2 were studied by molecular docking. Nine Mpro and four ManI structures available

Localizing users and mapping the environment using radio signals is a key task in emerging applications such as reliable communications, location-aware security, and safety critical navigation. Recently introduced multipath-based simultaneous localization and mapping (MP-SLAM) can jointly localize a mobile agent and the reflective surfaces in radio frequency (RF) environments. Most existing MP-SLA

Radio-frequency simultaneous localization and mapping (RF-SLAM) methods jointly infer the position of mobile transmitters and receivers in wireless networks, together with a geometric map of the propagation environment. An inferred map of specular surfaces can be used to exploit non-line-of-sight components of the multipath channel to increase robustness, bypass obstructions, and improve overall c

The popularity of the Vikings and the Viking Age in Scandinavian history cultures never seems to fade. As a projection surface for meaning-making needs in the present, the Viking Age constantly finds new ways to mirror the present, thus voicing new history-cultural trends. However, the Vikings carry heavy history-cultural traditions that tend to lead them to being portrayed as national symbols and

BACKGROUND: Frontotemporal dementia (FTD) with right anterior temporal lobe (RATL) predominant atrophy is an emerging area of interest. Recent findings by the International Working Group (IWG) have identified this subtype as having a distinct clinical profile within the FTD spectrum (Ulugut et al., 2024, A&D). However, its genetic and pathological underpinnings remain unexplored in large, mult
