Turbulence Boosts Bird Tail Aerodynamics

Published:Dec 30, 2025 12:00
1 min read
ArXiv

Analysis

This paper investigates the aerodynamic performance of bird tails in turbulent flow, a crucial aspect of flight, especially during takeoff and landing. The study uses a bio-hybrid robot model to compare lift and drag in laminar and turbulent conditions. The findings suggest that turbulence significantly enhances tail efficiency, potentially leading to improved flight control in turbulent environments. This research is significant because it challenges the conventional understanding of how air vehicles and birds interact with turbulence, offering insights that could inspire better aircraft designs.

Ce Substitution Modulates Magnetism and Spin-Phonon Coupling in SmCrO3

ArXiv

Analysis

This paper investigates the impact of Cerium (Ce) substitution on the magnetic and vibrational properties of Samarium Chromite (SmCrO3) perovskites. The study reveals how Ce substitution alters the magnetic structure, leading to a coexistence of antiferromagnetic and weak ferromagnetic states, enhanced coercive field, and exchange bias. The authors highlight the role of spin-phonon coupling and lattice distortions in these changes, suggesting potential for spintronic applications.

Width Pruning in Llama-3: Enhancing Instruction Following by Reducing Factual Knowledge

Published:Dec 27, 2025 18:09
1 min read
ArXiv

Analysis

This paper challenges the common understanding of model pruning by demonstrating that width pruning, guided by the Maximum Absolute Weight (MAW) criterion, can selectively improve instruction-following capabilities while degrading performance on tasks requiring factual knowledge. This suggests that pruning can be used to trade off knowledge for improved alignment and truthfulness, offering a novel perspective on model optimization and alignment.

“Instruction-following capabilities improve substantially (+46% to +75% in IFEval for Llama-3.2-1B and 3B models).”
