Research & science Systematic Study of Machine Learning Classification Algorithms of Zeolitic Imidazolate Framework Polymorphs arXiv:2604.09084v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks (ZIFs) are a family of metal--organic frameworks that feature metal centers tetrahedrally linked to imidazole-based ligands and adopt zeolite-like topologies. ZIFs formed by Zinc cations and imidazolate linkers exhibit a remarkable degree of polymorphism, which can be modulated by varying synthesis parameters or… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Data-Efficient Indentation Size Effect Correction in Steels Using Machine Learning and Physics-Constrained Neural Network arXiv:2604.27775v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Shallow nanoindentation enables mechanical characterization of thin films, individual phases, and other volume-constrained materials, but the measured hardness is inflated by the indentation size effect (ISE). Classical corrections such as Nix-Gao require a deep linear regime and fail when only shallow measurements are accessible. We present a… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Bilinear Flexo-Antiferrodistortive Coupling in Ferroelastics: Polar Twins, Antiphase Boundaries and Fingerprints of Alterelectricity arXiv:2606.29456v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Using the Landau-Ginsburg-Devonshire approach we show that the linear gradient-type coupling between the electric polarization vector and antiferrodistortive long-range order parameter pseudovector, that has the form of Lifshitz invariant and named "bilinear flexo-antiferrodistortive coupling", can emerge in all antiferrodistortive ferroelasti… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Phonon-Mediated Thermal Transport in Nanocrystalline Silicon Using Machine-Learning Interatomic Potentials arXiv:2607.06470v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Understanding phonon-mediated heat transport in structurally complex materials remains a central challenge for next-generation electronic and nanomechanical devices, where grain boundaries and interfacial disorder strongly limit thermal dissipation. Although classical interatomic potentials enable large-scale simulations, their limited transfe… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Modern Approach to Orbital Hall Effect Based on Wannier Picture of Solids arXiv:2604.08280v5 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The orbital Hall effect (OHE) and its key figure of merit, the orbital Hall conductivity (OHC), are central to the emerging field of orbitronics. The OHC is conventionally computed via Kubo linear response theory, where the orbital angular momentum (OAM) operator is approximated through atom-centered projections that retain only local co… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Monolithically Integrated VO$_2$ Mott Oscillators for Energy-Efficient Spiking Neurons arXiv:2604.21487v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Brain-inspired non-Boolean computing and sensing enable energy-efficient, error-tolerant, and highly parallel information processing, yet their deployment remains limited by the lack of compact, scalable spiking hardware. Mott phase-transition materials offer a promising route because their abrupt insulator-to-metal transitions enable ne… arXiv — cond-mat.mtrl-sci (Materials Science preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science The Direct and Indirect Effects of Genetics and Education arXiv:2607.19562v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Genes associated with educational attainment causally improve labour market income, but the economic mechanism behind this relationship is not clear. Using quasi-random variation in genetic inheritance across siblings in the UK Biobank, I estimate the causal effect of the Education PolyGenic Index (Ed PGI) on education and income. A one standard d… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Bounded Attention and Attenuated Elasticities arXiv:2607.19929v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study how bounded attention affects the structural estimation of the elasticity of substitution. In a sparse-max model, equilibrium prices and expenditure shares are observationally equivalent to those of a rational market. Its elasticity equals the structural elasticity scaled by the attention weight. The supply-side orthogonality condition of… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Catastrophic disruption cascades driven by the nonlinearity of systemic risk arXiv:2607.20068v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Whether the COVID-19 pandemic or the Iran war, recent events have highlighted the systemic fragility of supply chains. Due to highly specific and mutual buyer-supplier dependencies, even the failure of a single firm can cause system-wide economic disruptions in the form of cascading failures up and down the supply chain network. Only recently has … arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Licensing and Innovation Regimes in Pharmaceutical R&D arXiv:2607.20365v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We study how licensing affects the allocation of innovation in pharmaceutical R&D. We develop a model in which projects differ in both quality and innovation regime, distinguishing between incremental and novel innovations. Information precision is higher for incremental projects and lower for novel ones, generating different equilibrium dynamics … arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Reconstructing Large Scale Production Networks arXiv:2512.02362v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Firm-to-firm production networks matter for aggregate propagation, but they are rarely observed. This paper reconstructs national-scale, weighted firm-to-firm networks from two public objects: a sectoral input--output table and the distribution of firm sizes by sector. The algorithm first draws a binary buyer-seller backbone from a sector-awar… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Information Aggregation with AI Agents arXiv:2604.20050v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Can Large Language Models (AI agents) aggregate dispersed private information through trading and reason about the knowledge of others by observing price movements? We conduct a controlled experiment where AI agents trade in a prediction market after receiving private signals, measuring information aggregation by the log error of the last pric… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Where Do the Returns to Schooling Come From? Educational Transitions and Labor Market Payoffs arXiv:2508.13366v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Conventional research on educational effects typically either employs a "years of schooling" measure of education, or dichotomizes attainment as a point-in-time treatment. Yet, such a conceptualization of education is misaligned with the sequential process by which individuals make educational transitions. In this paper, I propose a caus… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Panel regression for the GDP of the Central and Eastern European countries using time-varying coefficients arXiv:2510.04211v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The integration of Central and Eastern European (CEE) countries into the European Economic Area serves as a valuable experiment for the regional economic development theory. The long-lasting convergence of these economies with more advanced Western Europe exhibits a few standard features and varying policies implemented. Even the Baltic … arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Research & science Crashing Waves vs. Rising Tides: Findings on AI Automation from Thousands of Worker Evaluations of Labor Market Tasks arXiv:2604.01363v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: We propose that AI automation is a continuum between: (i) crashing waves where AI capabilities surge abruptly over small sets of tasks, and (ii) rising tides where the increase in AI capabilities is more continuous and broad-based. We test for these effects in preliminary evidence from an ongoing evaluation of AI capabilities across over… arXiv — econ.GN (General Economics preprints) · 23 Jul 2026 Global Plastic’s recycling landscape remains troubling Plastic overcapacity in China and additional regulations in Europe have created complications in a sector where supply is not always situated near demand.
