Hyundai Motor Group said Thursday it will introduce a clean hydrogen energy circulation system at Korea's Antarctic research station to support sustainable scientific operations. The initiative is part of a memorandum of understanding signed with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries and the Korea Polar Research Institute, aimed at reducing the facility's reliance on diesel-generated electricity. The green hydrogen grid is a renewable energy-based power system that produces hydrogen through water electrolysis using electricity generated from renewable sources, such as solar power. Because Antarctic research stations are not connected to external power grids, they have traditionally relied on diesel generators, which are relatively easy to transport and fuel, and can be used to ensure a stable energy supply for long periods. Under the agreement, Hyundai Motor Group will develop an Antarctic-specific green hydrogen grid that uses surplus solar energy to produce and store hydrogen. The

arXiv:2606.18154v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Building personalized cardiac electrophysiology (EP) digital twins requires identifying the appropriate model structure for each patient, not merely fitting parameters. Traditional methods rely on experts to manually prescribe hybrid physics-neural architectures, which requires deep domain expertise and does not transfer across patients. Recent works have applied large language models (LLMs) to generate or act as hybrid models. However, despite their promising generalization capacity, these LLM-based methods lack the structural priors needed for stable cardiac simulations. Hence, we propose LEADS, a framework that formulates cardiac EP domain knowledge as a structured action space and utilizes an LLM agent to discover hybrid models. The agent follows an iterative reasoning-and-action loop to select, combine, and refine hybrid models, whilst gradient descent handles parameter fitting. The proposed LEADS designs every candidate model
