Strict Universality of the Square-Root Law in Price Impact across Stocks: A Complete Survey of the Tokyo Stock Exchange
Using complete account-level trading data across all liquid TSE stocks over eight years, the authors find the market-impact exponent is statistically consistent with 1/2 at both stock and trader levels—strong evidence for strict universality of the square-root law.

An unfinished Pompeian construction site reveals ancient Roman building technology
Pompeii evidence shows Romans “hot-mixed” quicklime with dry pozzolan, creating lime clasts that later feed crack-healing chemistry—explaining the durability of Roman concrete.

Building compositional tasks with shared neural subspaces
The study shows that monkeys flexibly switch tasks by reusing shared, low-dimensional “neural subspaces” for sensory features and actions, composing them differently depending on the current task.

Experimental confirmation of barrierless reactions between HeH+ and deuterium atoms suggests a lower abundance of the first molecules at very high redshifts
New experimental and theoretical results show the primordial reaction HeH⁺ + D → HD⁺ + He is barrierless and fast at low temperatures, implying less HeH⁺ (and different early-universe chemistry) than earlier models predicted.

Coherent and Incoherent Light Scattering by Single-Atom Wave Packets
A single-atom, single-photon scattering experiment shows you can probe which-way information and coherence in free space without “trap-specific” effects being the deciding factor.

Engineering A Genomically Recoded Organism With One Stop Codon
Yale researchers recoded E. coli to use one stop codon, freeing two codons to reliably encode two different non-standard amino acids in the same protein.
