Details of observations Our observations, from which we inferred S301, comprise 19 datasets spanning more than 8 years. We first noted S301 in 2023, when pointing directly to Sgr A*. Given the position of the star close to Sgr A* and its large proper motion, it was clear that it might be on a tight orbit,

Pangenome reference The pangenome reference used in this study is a sequence graph augmented with phased small variants. It is stored in two data files: a sequence graph in reference rGFA format16 containing the structural variants and a supplementary phased VCF33 file containing small variants. The rGFA sequence graph is constructed first from haplotype assemblies,

The HydroGym platform formulates flow control problems as discrete-time Markov decision processes, defined by the tuple \((For more tech updates, stay tuned to our blog.,Keep following us for the latest insights.,{\mathcal{P}},{\mathcal{R}})\). At each control step t, the agent: receives an observation state \({s}_{t}\in {\mathcal{S}}\), which represents flow measurements; executes an action \({a}_{t}\in {\mathcal{A}}\), which represents

- August 22, 2026
The profound effects of psychedelics reshape subjective responses to internal and external sensations and are frequently reported as among the most meaningful experiences in life7. These states can manifest sustained therapeutic benefits, including reductions in depression, anxiety and addiction, alongside an increase in social connectedness and overall well-being3,4,9,10,11,12,13,14. The brain constructs perception and selfhood by
