  1. Te atomic data modeled for kilonova spectral studies
    Comprehensive R-matrix atomic data for tellurium ions improves kilonova spectral modeling, identifying Te iv contributions to AT2017gfo emission features and advancing neutron star merger.
  2. Coherently driven B centres in hBN emit indistinguishable photons
    B centre defects in hexagonal boron nitride demonstrate high-visibility two-photon interference and coherent light emission when excited resonantly using a metal-dielectric cavity structure.
  3. Cold ions enable ion-acoustic waves in asymmetric reconnection
    Particle-in-cell simulations characterize ion-acoustic wave excitation and energy transfer mechanisms in asymmetric magnetic reconnection with cold ion populations.
  4. Odd isotope selectivity achieved in calcium resonance ionization
    Selective resonance ionization technique using angular momentum selection rules and polarized light enables isolation of rare calcium isotopes Ca-43 and Ca-41 while suppressing abundant Ca-40.
  5. Interference effects can be neglected in muonic hydrogen laser transition estimates
    Study develops methodology to estimate interference effects on laser-induced transitions in muonic hydrogen multi-pass cells, showing such effects can be safely neglected under experimental conditions.
