Buying of illegal cigarettes soars as cost of living crisis bites The study led by UCL and funded by Cancer Research UK (CRUK) examined survey data from 9,996 people - Bookmark - CommentsGo to comments The proportion of smokers purchasing cheap cigarettes from illicit sources has almost doubled since 2023, according to new analysis. This significant increase is believed to reflect the rising cost of living that has impacted households in recent years, researchers suggest. While overall data...

Photonic Ising machines toward and beyond a million spins

arXiv:2607.13446v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Combinatorial optimization problems are central to many challenges in logistics, finance, engineering, and the life sciences, yet they remain among the most computationally demanding. Many of these problems can be mapped onto the Ising model, in which binary spins interact through a network of couplings, and solutions correspond to low-energy, ideally ground-state, spin configurations. Photonic Ising machines have the potential to be fast and...

Impacts of social and impact heterogeneity on social-climate outcomes

arXiv:2607.13438v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Regional heterogeneity in social characteristics, temperature change, and vulnerability to climate impacts is likely to influence the magnitude of anthropogenic climate change, but has not been considered in coupled social-climate models, which seek to represent interactions between social and climate dynamics. Here, we examine how the projected mean global temperature anomaly and population support for mitigation respond to heterogeneity in...

Chiral Landau levels induced by two in-plane pseudomagnetic fields in underwater acoustic metamaterials

Announce Type: new Abstract: The chiral zeroth Landau levels (LLs) constitute topologically protected bulk states that enable robust control of acoustic wave propagation. Given the central role of underwater acoustics in marine engineering, realizing such Landau-level physics in underwater acoustic systems is highly desirable. Nevertheless, existing studies have primarily been limited to airborne acoustic systems, and the implementation of chiral zeroth LLs in underwater acoustics remains a...
