    • List-Decoding Capacity Implies Capacity on the 𝑞-ary Symmetric Channel 

      Pernice, Francisco; Sprumont, Oscar; Wootters, Mary (ACM|Proceedings of the 57th Annual ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing, 2025-06-15)
      It is known that the Shannon capacity of the q-ary symmetric channel (qSC) is the same as the list-decoding capacity of an adversarial channel, raising the question of whether there is a formal (and black-box) connection ...

    • A molecularly impermeable polymer from two-dimensional polyaramids 

      Ritt, Cody L; Quien, Michelle; Wei, Zitang; Gress, Hagen; Dronadula, Mohan T; e.a. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2025-11-12)
      All polymers exhibit gas permeability through the free volume of entangled polymer chains1, 2–3. By contrast, two-dimensional (2D) materials including graphene stack densely and can exhibit molecular impermeability4, 5–6. ...

    • Molecularly Thin Polyaramid Nanomechanical Resonators 

      Gress, Hagen; Ritt, Cody L; Shomakhov, Inal; Altmisdort, Kaan; Quien, Michelle; e.a. (American Chemical Society, 2025-12-03)
      Two-dimensional polyaramids exhibit strong hydrogen bonding to create molecularly thin nanosheets analogous to graphene. Here, we report the first nanomechanical resonators made out of a two-dimensional polyaramid, 2DPA-1, ...
