Scientists have long known that the DNA code in genes is not the only way to pass genetic traits from parents to offspring. "Epigenetic" marks—chemical modifications to DNA that don't change the DNA ...

Abstract: To address the degradation in radiation performance caused by external deformations in variable-curvature cylindrical conformal antenna arrays, this letter proposes a real-time beam pattern ...

Every few months a new benchmark lands claiming that AI coding agents can outperform human developers on some suite of programming tasks. What almost none of those benchmarks measure is whether the ...

Abstract: Higher-order staircase codes form a class of generalized staircase codes in which each bit is protected by more than two component codes. Among them, the extended-Hamming-based higher-order ...
