arXiv:2611.03721v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recent breakthroughs in artificial-intelligence-assisted mathematics show that open-ended machine search can outperform human mathematicians, yet transferring this paradigm to physics requires refactoring the research workflow. We introduce Simjecture, an open-source framework in which language-model agents pursue human-defined physical conjectures.

arXiv:2611.03713v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Before a scientist fits any parameter, they must decide what the model contains: which quantities exist, which are hidden, how they interact, and how they are measured. Physicists call such a trial form an ansatz. Benchmarks for automated equation discovery mostly supply it, by fixing the variables, a library of candidate terms, or a law to be modified.

arXiv:2611.03698v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) aims to enable AI systems to autonomously build and improve AI systems themselves, including models, harnesses, and underlying infrastructure. Within this broader agenda, a central capability is enabling agents to train and improve base models.

arXiv:2611.03685v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Visual agents need to coordinate reasoning and action while their environment evolves during inference. We introduce LOLPlay, a benchmark in native \emph{League of Legends} with 36 champion-specific tasks spanning resource management, combat, cooperation, and objectives.

arXiv:2611.03684v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models serve as the reasoning core of agents for chemistry and materials science, where they must interpret molecular structure before planning syntheses or proposing materials. Yet their outputs show only what they say, not what they know.

arXiv:2611.03662v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The Model Context Protocol (MCP) connects large language model agents to external tools and services through official SDKs that implement message validation and session logic. Specification constraints omitted by these SDKs may propagate to downstream applications, highlighting the importance of SDK-level conformance testing.

arXiv:2611.03651v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Geometric certificates make mathematical claims about specified estimator objects, while robotic action requires a physical transform, a service decision, and timely proof support. We present CARD, a proof-carrying interface that keeps these objects distinct and records how they combine.

arXiv:2611.03650v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models can follow a directive when they believe they are monitored and abandon it when they believe they are not, a pattern termed Alignment Faking. Prior work establishes this for harmful-content objectives and a handful of moral-foundations values, leaving open how it distributes across a wider value space.

Are the laws of physics truly the same everywhere in the universe? This fundamental principle, known as Lorentz invariance, lies at the heart of Einstein's theory of relativity. Yet some theories that seek to reconcile gravity with quantum physics suggest that it might not always hold.

A new study suggests that ultra-processed foods may influence children's developing brains in ways that encourage weight gain. Researchers from USC studied 46 children ages 7 to 10 and found that those who ate more ultra-processed foods showed stronger activity in the brain's reward system when viewing tempting foods like cookies and French fries.

Scientists have developed a promising new cancer-fighting strategy that uses carbon monoxide naturally produced by tumor cells to manufacture powerful drugs inside the cancer cells themselves. Early laboratory experiments suggest the technique could selectively attack cancer while sparing healthy cells, potentially paving the way for safer chemotherapy alternatives.

A single gene-editing treatment could someday protect against heart disease, high cholesterol, and other common conditions for decades, potentially replacing lifelong medications. But scientists warn that permanently altering genes introduces risks that could take years to emerge, making long-term safety a critical challenge.

Something mysterious is disturbing Betelgeuse, and astronomers believe they have identified the culprit: a hidden companion star called Siwarha. New radio observations reveal that the smaller star may be plowing through Betelgeuse’s enormous atmosphere, creating disturbances that subtly stretch and distort the red supergiant’s shape.

One of Australia's most dangerously overfished species, redfish (Centroberyx affinis), will continue to be served on our dinner tables following its latest listing as "conservation dependent." The classification is a loophole allowing species that qualify for critically endangered listings and protections to instead be killed and sold for seafood.

When is the best time to apply nitrogen? What plant response was there to fertilizer or any number of other treatments? There is a general answer to those questions now, but what if plant breeders and agronomists could download data from continuously monitored cornstalks and ears to develop specific answers for those questions?

Around one in 15 adults has experienced AI-generated image-based abuse, according to a new study. The general-population survey of more than 7,200 adults in the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia found 7% had experienced at least one form of AI-generated image-based abuse since turning 18.

College undergraduates are anxious about climate change, with many feeling powerless and frustrated about Earth's future, yet resources to help students cope are in short supply, according to new interdisciplinary University of Utah research. The sentiment isn't limited to students studying the environment.

Want more engagement on social media? Stop repeating yourself. Just don't change who you are in the process. That's according to new Case Western Reserve University research suggesting that public figures can increase engagement by varying their topics and wording while "maintaining a consistent psychological voice."

Researchers at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (EMBRAPA) are studying the relationship between the genetics of Nelore cattle and the microorganisms in their guts (microbiota). Nelore cattle are the most widely raised beef breed in Brazil. The goal is to develop strategies that reduce emissions of methane—a major greenhouse gas—and improve the animals' feed efficiency.

For many business leaders, digitalization is associated with promises of greater efficiency and productivity. However, a new study by professor of accounting Jukka Sihvonen from the University of Vaasa, Finland, suggests that increasing digitalization may also raise a company's risk of falling victim to a successful cyberattack. The study has been published in the journal British Journal of Management.
