Author(s): V. Varrica, G. Falci, E. Paladino, and F. M. D. PellegrinoHere, the authors show that inductive coupling between a superconducting resonator and a short, wide two-dimensional material-based Josephson junction induces a phase transition in the global light–matter ground state. The resulting phase, which spontaneously breaks time-reversal symmetry, carries a finite equilibrium supercurrent at phase difference ϕ = π , where an isolated conventional Josephson junction carries no equilibrium supercurrent. The hybrid light–matter excitation spectrum provides spectroscopic fingerprints of the transition, while highly transparent transport channels determine the critical coupling. [Phys. Rev.

I drove the 2026 Model Y RWD (Standard) for about 550 km (342 miles) across a mix of highway, back roads, and city driving, and I enjoyed the efficiency and technology far more than the driving experience itself. For anyone shopping for an affordable Tesla built around the brand’s software and ecosystem, this standard trim is a real contender, but it drives more like a generic SUV than the brand promises.

arXiv:2607.29289v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Integrating few-layer materials into photonic circuits is a promising concept for novel on-chip photonic applications. We incorporate transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with femtosecond-laser-written surface waveguides, which are embedded in fused silica chips. Our novel low-temperature optical spectroscopy setup enables coupling to the waveguide and simultaneous focus from the top to the TMD layer for a distinct excitation and collection of micro-photoluminescence ($\mu$PL) signals in several measurement geometries. Along these lines, we observe spectral changes of the A exciton for encapsulated TMD monolayers when capturing the $\mu$PL signal propagating through the waveguide. Depending on the thickness of the encapsulation with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN), these changes manifest as energetic redshifts of the A exciton, or even a splitting of the A exciton into two components. We attribute this behavior to strong coupling of
