1. Categorization and Mitigation of AI Model Errors 

   Peychev, Momchil (2025)

   The past decade has been an impressive success for the field of deep learning. Today, neural models dominate the vast majority of benchmark leaderboards, get deployed in the real world and even achieve superhuman capabilities for some tasks. However, they are still brittle in many ways, can fail unexpectedly and their reliability and trustworthiness issues are far from being fully resolved. In this thesis, we argue that to advance these ...

2. Influence of inspiratory resistors on tracheal pressure during ventilation with decelerating flow 

   Werder, David; Stankovic, Nikola; Zander, Mark Oliver; et al. (2025)

   Intensive Care Medicine – Paediatric and Neonatal

   Objective Understanding driving pressure is of general interest in lung mechanics, especially in ventilated neonatal and pediatric patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of endotracheal tube size (ETT) and bi-directional linear flow resistors mimicking different degrees of tube and airway obstruction on tracheal pressure (Ptr) during ventilation with decelerating flow. Methods A mechanical lung simulator with ...

3. Observation of a non-Hermitian supersonic mode on a trapped-ion quantum computer 

   Zhang, Yuxuan; Carrasquilla, Juan; Kim, Yong Baek (2025)

   NATURE COMMUNICATIONS

   Quantum computers have long been anticipated to excel in simulating quantum many-body physics. In this work, we demonstrate the power of variational quantum circuits for resource-efficient simulations of dynamical and equilibrium physics in non-Hermitian systems. Using a variational quantum compilation scheme for fermionic systems, we reduce gate count, save qubits, and eliminate the need for postselection, a major challenge in simulating ...

4. Monsoonal imprint on late Quaternary landscapes of the Rub' al Khali Desert 

   Zaki, Abdallah S.; Delaunay, Antoine; Baby, Guillaume; et al. (2025)

   COMMUNICATIONS EARTH & ENVIRONMENT

   Abundant geomorphological, biological, and isotopic records show that Arabia repeatedly underwent significant climate-driven environmental changes during late Quaternary humid periods. Precisely mapping how the enhancement and expansion of the African Monsoon during these humid periods have affected landscape evolution and human occupation dynamics in Arabia remains a scientific challenge. Here we reconstruct an ancient water-sculpted ...

5. Tunable assembly of confined Janus microswimmers in sub-kHz AC electric fields under gravity 

   van Baalen, Carolina; Alvarez, Laura; Style, Robert W.; et al. (2025)

   Soft Matter

   Active systems comprising micron-sized self-propelling units, also termed microswimmers, are promising candidates for the bottom-up assembly of small structures and reconfigurable materials. Here we leverage field-driven colloidal assembly to induce structural transformations in dense layers of microswimmers driven by an alternating current (AC) electric field and confined in a microfabricated trap under the influence of gravity. By varying ...
