DEEPCHART: How Far are LLMs from Faithful Data-Science Chart Generation?

Faithful chart generation in real-world data-science workflows requires grounding visualizations in scattered evidence, computing chart-ready quantities, and rendering them accurately. Modern LLMs can produce visually plausible, instruction-compliant charts, yet data-level hallucinations remain difficult to detect in long, noisy, and multimodal contexts. To measure this gap, we introduce DEEPCHART, an expert-annotated benchmark of 1,482 task-conditioned chart-generation instances drawn from real-world scientific papers, financial filings, and ecosystem reports. DEEPCHART formulates chart generation as an Extract--Reason--Visualize pipeline and evaluates source-data extraction, derived-data reasoning, and chart rendering stage by stage. Experiments with state-of-the-art models show that visually plausible charts often conceal data-level hallucinations, with extraction and reasoning errors common in realistic long and multimodal settings. These findings suggest that larger context windows alone are insufficient; faithful chart generation also requires reliable evidence extraction and quantitative reasoning before rendering. Our benchmark and associated resources are available at https://github.com/tangdouer1005/DeepChart.

High-order Paschen emission from the quiet-Sun off-limb chromosphere

We report the detection of high-order hydrogen Paschen emission lines (Pa~15, Pa~16, and Pa~17) in the quiet-Sun chromosphere off the solar limb using the Chromospheric Infrared SpectroPolarimeter (SCIP) on board the {\sc Sunrise~iii} balloon telescope. These lines reveal thread-like structures resembling spicules and exhibit systematically smaller Doppler velocities than Ca~II~854.2~nm, suggesting that they are optically thinner and more affected by line-of-sight averaging, especially near the limb. Non-LTE radiative transfer synthesis using the spherically symmetric one-dimensional code \texttt{rhsphere} reproduces the overall spectral properties. The observed ratios among three Paschen lines show systematic deviations from synthetic and theoretical results, suggesting that additional physical effects may influence the formation of high-order Paschen lines. The study demonstrates the potential of high-order Paschen lines as a new diagnostic of optically thin plasma in the off-limb chromosphere.

Energy dissipation mechanisms in an acoustically-driven slit

We quantify how incident acoustic energy is converted into vortical motion and viscous dissipation for a two-dimensional plane-wave passing through a slit geometry. We perform direct numerical simulations over a broad parameter space in incident sound pressure level (ISPL), Strouhal number (St), and Reynolds number (Re). Spectral proper orthogonal decomposition (SPOD) yields energy-ranked coherent structures at each frequency, from which we construct mode-by-mode fields for spectral kinetic energy (KE) and viscous loss (VL) components to examine the mechanisms of acoustic absorption. At ISPL=150dB, the acoustic-hydrodynamic energy conversion is highest when the acoustic displacement amplitude is comparable to the slit thickness, corresponding to a Keulegan-Carpenter number of order unity. In this regime, the oscillatory boundary layer undergoes periodic separation, resulting in vortex shedding that dominates acoustic damping. VL accounts for 20-60% of the KE contribution. For higher acoustic frequencies, the confinement of the Stokes layer produces X-shaped near-slit modes, reducing the total energy input by approximately 50%. The influence of Re depends on amplitude. At ISPL=150dB, larger Re values correspond to suppressed broadband fluctuations and sharpened harmonic peaks. At ISPL = 120dB, the boundary layers remain attached, vortex shedding is weak, absorption monotonically scales with viscosity, and the Re- and St-dependencies become comparable. Across all conditions, more than 99% of the VL is confined to a compact region surrounding the slit mouth. The KE-VL spectra describe parameter regimes that enhance or suppress acoustic damping in slit geometries, providing a physically interpretable basis for acoustic-based design.

Transmission of High-Amplitude Sound through Leakages of Ill-fitting Earplugs

High sound pressure levels (SPL) pose notable risks in loud environments, particularly due to noise-induced hearing loss. Ill-fitting earplugs often lead to sound leakage, a phenomenon this study seeks to investigate. To validate our methodology, we first obtained computational and experimental acoustic transmission data for stand-alone slit resonators and orifices, for which extensive published data are readily available for comparison. We then examined the frequency-dependent acoustic power absorption coefficient and transmission loss (TL) across various leakage geometries, modeled using different orifice diameters. Experimental approaches spanned a frequency range of 1--5 kHz under SPL conditions of 120--150 dB. Key findings reveal that unsealed silicone rubber earplugs demonstrate an average TL reduction of approximately 18 dB at an overall incident SPL (OISPL) of 120 dB. Direct numerical simulations further highlight SPL-dependent acoustic dissipation mechanisms, showing the conversion of acoustic energy into vorticity in ill-fitting earplug models at an OISPL of 150 dB. These results highlight the role of earplug design for high-sound-pressure-level environments.

Thought-Augmented Planning for LLM-Powered Interactive Recommender Agent

Interactive recommendation is a typical information-seeking task that allows users to interactively express their needs through natural language and obtain personalized recommendations. Large language model-powered (LLM-powered) agents have become a new paradigm in interactive recommendations, effectively capturing users' real-time needs and enhancing personalized experiences. However, due to limited planning and generalization capabilities, existing formulations of LLM-powered interactive recommender agents struggle to effectively address diverse and complex user intents, such as intuitive, unrefined, or occasionally ambiguous requests. To tackle this challenge, we propose a novel thought-augmented interactive recommender agent system (TAIRA) that addresses complex user intents through distilled thought patterns. Specifically, TAIRA is designed as an LLM-powered multi-agent system featuring a manager agent that orchestrates recommendation tasks by decomposing user needs and planning subtasks, with its planning capacity strengthened through Thought Pattern Distillation (TPD), a thought-augmentation method that extracts high-level thoughts from the agent's and human experts' experiences. Moreover, we designed a set of user simulation schemes to generate personalized queries of different difficulties and evaluate the recommendations based on specific datasets. Through comprehensive experiments conducted across multiple datasets, TAIRA exhibits significantly enhanced performance compared to existing methods. Notably, TAIRA shows a greater advantage on more challenging tasks while generalizing effectively on novel tasks, further validating its superiority in managing complex user intents within interactive recommendation systems. The code is publicly available at:https://github.com/Alcein/TAIRA.

MFC 5.0: An exascale many-physics flow solver

Many problems of interest in engineering, medicine, and the fundamental sciences rely on high-fidelity flow simulation, making performant computational fluid dynamics solvers a mainstay of the open-source software community. Previous work, MFC 3.0, was published, documented, and made open-source by Bryngelson et al. CPC (2021) features numerous physical features, numerical methods, and scalable infrastructure. MFC 5.0 is a significant update to MFC 3.0, featuring a broad set of well-established and novel physical models and numerical methods, as well as the introduction of GPU and APU (or superchip) acceleration. We exhibit state-of-the-art performance and ideal scaling on the first two exascale supercomputers, OLCF's Frontier and LLNL's El Capitan. Combined with MFC's single-accelerator performance, MFC achieves exascale computation in practice and has achieved the largest-to-date public CFD simulation at 200 trillion grid points, earning it a 2025 ACM Gordon Bell Prize finalist. New physical features include the immersed boundary method, $N$-fluid phase change, Euler-Euler and Euler-Lagrange sub-grid bubble models, fluid-structure interaction, hypo- and hyper-elastic materials, chemically reacting flow, two-material surface tension, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and more. Numerical techniques now represent the current state-of-the-art, including general relaxation characteristic boundary conditions, WENO variants, Strang splitting for stiff sub-grid flow features, and low Mach number treatments. Weak scaling to tens of thousands of GPUs on OLCF's Summit and Frontier, and LLNL's El Capitan, achieves efficiencies within 5% of ideal to over 90% of their respective system sizes. Strong scaling results for a 16-fold increase in device count show parallel efficiencies exceeding 90% on OLCF Frontier.

Periodic Coronal Rain Driven by Self-consistent Heating Process in a Radiative Magnetohydrodynamic Simulation

The periodic coronal rain and in-phase radiative intensity pulsations have been observed in multiple wavelengths in recent years. However, due to the lack of three-dimensional coronal magnetic fields and thermodynamic data in observations, it remains challenging to quantify the coronal heating rate that drives the mass cycles. In this work, based on the MURaM code, we conduct a three-dimensional radiative magnetohydrodynamic simulation spanning from the convective zone to the corona, where the solar atmosphere is heated self-consistently through dissipation resulting from magneto-convection. For the first time, we model the periodic coronal rain in an active region. With a high spatial resolution, the simulation well resembles the observational features across different extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. These include the realistic interweaving coronal loops, periodic coronal rain and periodic intensity pulsations, with two periods of 3.0~h and 3.7~h identified within one loop system. Moreover, the simulation allows for a detailed three-dimensional depiction of coronal rain on small scales, revealing adjacent shower-like rain clumps $\sim500$~km in width and showcasing their multi-thermal internal structures. We further reveal that these periodic variations essentially reflect the cyclic energy evolution of the coronal loop under thermal non-equilibrium state. Importantly, as the driver of the mass circulation, the self-consistent coronal heating rate is considerably complex in time and space, with hour-level variations in one order of magnitude, minute-level bursts, and varying asymmetry reaching ten times between footpoints. This provides an instructive template for the ad hoc heating function, and further enhances our understanding of the coronal heating process.
