Summary: Researchers discuss the potential for bosonic dark matter to form halos around the Sun or the Earth, and explore the use of atomic clocks to probe these halos. They focus on interactions between dark matter and the Standard Model, specifically the Higgs portal or photon portal, searching for parameter space where discernible frequency differences can be observed between clocks on Earth and in space. Bosonic dark matter halos surrounding the Earth could potentially be probed using current optical atomic clocks.

Summary: This article introduces the assumptions of metric descriptions of gravitation, such as general relativity, and emphasizes the importance of the Einstein equivalence principle (EEP). It suggests that violations of EEP could hint at unknown physics and contribute to the development of quantum gravity. The article proposes a test of local position invariance (LPI) using atom interferometry, which allows for delocalized quantum clocks and offers improved sensitivity compared to localized clocks.

Summary: MUonE is an experiment designed to measure the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to muon g - 2 through elastic mu - e scattering. It also has the potential to search for displaced vertices from light, weakly interacting new particles. By demonstrating its sensitivity to dark photons in a specific mass range and kinetic mixing parameter, it shows great promise in this regard.

Summary: This study explores the potential of Cold Atom Interferometry (CAI)-based Gradiometry (CG) to enhance Radio Science (RS) gravity experiments for small-body missions, focusing on the case of Phobos. The results show that RS can accurately deduce the 6 x 6 spherical harmonic spectrum of Phobos, while CG is necessary for achieving higher precision in the 10 x 10 spectrum.

Summary: The French National Center for Space Studies conducted an evaluation study called GRICE to explore the impact of cold atom technologies on space geodesy missions and end users of geodetic data. They proposed a mission scenario for gravity field mapping based on a long baseline gradiometer and conducted simulations to assess the performance of the mission.

Summary: This study simulates the navigation of the OSIRIS-REx mission near Bennu, incorporating measurements from high-sensitivity shaken lattice interferometry (SLI)-based accelerometers. The simulation utilizes the MONTE software and OSIRIS-REx reconstructed trajectory and attitude data from the NAIF database. The results show that the addition of SLI-based accelerometer measurements improves navigation performance and reduces tracking requirements.

Summary: This study analyzes how to enhance cosmological measurements of HETDEX using a citizen science campaign. The Dark Energy Explorers project aims to increase the number of LAEs, reduce false positives caused by noise and [O ii] galaxies. Initial analysis shows that citizen science, combined with unsupervised machine learning, is an efficient tool for accurate classification. The three most impactful aspects of the citizen science campaign are identifying detection problems, providing a clean sample for visual identification, and providing labels for machine learning efforts. Dark Energy Explorers has collected over three and a half million classifications from 11,000 volunteers in 85 countries worldwide. By incorporating the results of Dark Energy Explorers, a 10%-30% improvement in the accuracy of D(A)(z) and H(z) parameters at z=2.4 is expected. While the main goal is to enhance HETDEX, Dark Energy Explorers has already proven to be a uniquely powerful tool for scientific advancement and global accessibility to science.

Summary: In this study, various crystalline few-body correlations smoothly emerged from mass-imbalanced Fermi polarons in two dimensions were revealed. When the fermion-impurity mass ratio exceeds a certain critical value, the Fermi polaron undergoes a smooth transition from the polaronic to trimer and tetramer regimes.

Summary: In this study, we successfully describe the H-transfer tunneling dynamics of the Tropolone molecule by developing a high-level potential energy surface and simulating quantum-mechanical tunneling effects. The calculations on the corrected potential energy surface are in good agreement with experimental results, and show significant improvement compared to calculations based on a low-level DFT surface. The subtle changes in the splittings for some heavy-atom isotopomers observed experimentally are also reproduced and explained.

Summary: This study shows that the nondetection of gravitational waves from low-mass black hole mergers can place constraints on the interactions between nonannihilating dark matter particles and nucleons. With LIGO data, benchmark constraints for different types of dark matter have been determined, which will help detect particle dark matter and test its ability to explain the absence of pulsars in the Galactic center.

Summary: A network of synchronized detectors can increase the likelihood of discovering QCD axions within the axion quark nugget dark matter model, as well as discriminate the x rays emitted by AQNs from background signal. These networks provide information on the directionality and velocity distribution of dark matter flux, testing the Standard Halo Model. The optimal configuration for detecting AQN-induced axions is a triangular network of stations 100 km apart, while for x rays, an array of tetrahedral units is optimal.

Summary: The study demonstrates that stereoelectronic effects play a role in stabilizing protein-N-glycan interactions, with enthalpy-entropy compensation depending on the electronics of interacting side chains. Models using quantum mechanical calculations and machine learning can explain up to 79% and 97% of the experimental interaction energy variability.
