Practical Attack on All Parameters of the HPPC Signature Scheme

January 2, 2026
Author(s)
Pierre Briaud, Maxime Bros, Ray Perlner, Daniel Smith-Tone
HPPC is a multivariate signature scheme submitted to the NIST PQC standardization process in response to the recent call for additional signature schemes. We show that, despite some non-standard notational choices in the submission document, HPPC can be

Extending communication range with 5G NR multi-hop UE-to-UE relays

January 1, 2026
Author(s)
Samantha Gamboa Quintiliani, Thomas Henderson, Wesley Garey, Chunmei Liu, Richard Rouil
This paper describes how fifth-generation (5G) New Radio (NR) sidelink (SL) multi-hop UE-to-UE (U2U) relays can extend communication range in off-network scenarios. We study the operation and effectiveness of such relays with a focus on the key challenges

Survey of agricultural plastic waste in the American Midwest: usage and disposal

January 1, 2026
Author(s)
Julie Rieland, Christina Gore, Kalman Migler, Kathryn Beers
An estimated 4 % of global plastics are used for agricultural applications in forms such as films, jugs, fence posts, and hoses. However, there is limited data on actual use, and more importantly on its fate at end of life. We first present a comprehensive

Chemical Kinetics and Fire

December 31, 2025
Author(s)
Gregory Linteris, John Griffiths
The purpose of this chapter is to set out the principles of chemical kinetics as they apply to combustion in flames and fires. Chemical equilibrium, which was discussed in a previous chapter, deals with the final preferred state of a given set of reactants

Light shift suppression in a CPT magnetometer using linear polarization and double frequency interrogation

December 30, 2025
Author(s)
Mario Alberto Gonzalez Maldonado, Yang Li, Jamie McKelvy, Andrey Matsko, Irina Novikova, Eugeniy Mikhailov, John Kitching, Ying-Ju Wang
We demonstrate a suppression of the light shift in a Coherent-Population-Trapping (CPT) atomic magnetometer by using linearly polarized light and a differential measurement between magnetic resonances. The radio frequency that creates the optical sidebands

AI-Driven Antimicrobial Peptide Characterization Unveils Novel Motifs for Drug Design

December 29, 2025
Author(s)
Sarala Padi, Kinjal Mondal, David Hoogerheide, Frank N. Heinrich, Ella Mihailescu, Antonio Cardone, Jeffery Klauda
Antibiotics have been effectively developed to target and kill bacteria; however, the growing challenge of antimicrobial resistance (AR) has complicated the treatment of certain infections. To address this pressing issue, researchers are investigating

NIST Handbook 133: Checking the Net Contents of Packaged Goods (2026 Ed.)

December 29, 2025
Author(s)
John McGuire, David Sefcik, Loren Minnich, Elizabeth Benham, Isabel Baucom, Katrice Lippa
This handbook has been prepared as a procedural guide for the compliance testing of net content statements on packaged goods. Compliance testing of packaged goods is the determination of the conformance results of packaging, distribution, and sale of

Photonic integrated circuit optical parametric oscillators

December 22, 2025
Author(s)
Xiyuan Lu, Robert Gray, Jordan Stone, Selina Zhou, Nicolas Englebert, Alireza Marandi, Kartik Srinivasan
Optical parametric oscillators (OPOs) are versatile nonlinear optical devices for wavelength generation from the visible to the mid-infrared. Recently, OPO research has merged with photonic integrated circuits (PICs) in the advancement of miniaturized, on

Topological Nodal Line and Weyl Magnons in the Non-Coplanar Antiferromagnet MnTe2

December 20, 2025
Author(s)
Angela Hight Walker, Thuc Mai, Kevin Garrity
Using a combination of band representation analysis, inelastic neutron scattering (INS), magneto-Raman spectroscopy measurements, and linear spin wave theory, we determine that the non-coplanar antiferromagnet MnTe2 hosts symmetry-protected topological
