A new final state of gravitational collapse is proposed. By extending the concept of Bose-Einstein condensation to gravitational systems, a cold, dark, compact object with an interior de Sitter condensate p(v) = -rho(v) and an exterior Schwarzschild geometry of arbitrary total mass M is constructed. These regions are separated by a shell with a small but finite proper thickness l of fluid with equation of state p = +rho, replacing both the Schwarzschild and de Sitter classical horizons. The new solution has no singularities, no event horizons, and a global time. Its entropy is maximized under small fluctuations and is given by the standard hydrodynamic entropy of the thin shell, which is of the order k(B)lMc/Planck's over 2 pi, instead of the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy formula, S(BH) = 4 pi k(B)GM(2)/Planck's over 2 pi c. Hence, unlike black holes, the new solution is thermodynamically stable and has no information paradox.

We report the development of a space-compatible packaging system for an integrated monolithic ultra-stable optical reference toward China's next-generation geodesy mission with low orbit satellite-to-satellite tracking. Building on our previous work, we optimized the mounting structure and thermal insulation mechanism using the finite element method. The comprehensive simulation results demonstrated the robustness of the entire packaging system with enough margins to withstand severe launch loads and maintain an ultra-high geometric cavity length stability.

For the first time, we investigate the nonperturbative dynamics of single field inflation with a departure from slow roll. Using simulations, we find that oscillatory features in the potential can drastically alter the course of inflation, with major phenomenological implications. In certain cases, the entire Universe gets trapped in a forever inflating de Sitter state.

The detection of gravitational waves has ushered in a new era of observing the universe. Quantum resource advantages offer significant enhancements to the sensitivity of gravitational wave observatories. While squeezed states for ground-based gravitational wave detection have received marked attention, the generation of squeezed states suitable for mid-to-low-frequency detection has remained unexplored.

We consider a dynamic scenario for characterizing the late Universe evolution, aiming to mitigate the Hubble tension. Specifically, we consider a metric f(R) gravity in the Jordan frame which is implemented to the dynamics of a flat isotropic Universe. This cosmological model incorporates a matter creation process, due to the time variation of the cosmological gravitational field.

Purpose: To quantify the extent of gradient-induced vibrations, and the magnitude of motion-induced displacement forces ("Lenz effect"), in conductive nonmagnetic orthopedic prostheses.
Methods: The investigation is carried out through numerical simulations, for a 3 T scanner. For gradient-induced torques and vibrations, a knee and a shoulder implant are considered, at dB/dt equal to 42 T/s (rms).
