This paper establishes hard mathematical limits on how well any continuous-time control or filtering system can estimate states and suppress disturbances, using information-theoretic tools linking mutual information to mean-square estimation error. For fusion, real-time plasma control — suppressing ELMs, predicting disruptions, maintaining confinement — depends on state estimation from noisy sensor signals, and understanding these fundamental limits matters for designing controllers that approach but do not exceed what physics allows. The work is peer-reviewed and purely theoretical, providing bounds applicable to nonlinear systems such as the magnetohydrodynamic plasma models used in tokamak control.

This paper proposes a fuzzy-logic approach to suppressing numerical instabilities in simulations of multi-scale fluid transport, using a kinetic-energy-driven membership function to smooth out abrupt shock transitions — labeling a specific damped oscillatory viscosity response 'Hala Ringing'. The relevance to fusion is marginal: divertor plasma transport involves similar multi-scale shock structures, and numerical stability in particle-in-cell codes for plasma-wall interactions is a genuine problem. However, this paper has critically low confidence — it uses undefined self-invented operators, provides no benchmark validation, and cannot be independently reproduced.

This dataset accompanies a computational study showing that compressive strain from a substrate can switch the superconducting pairing symmetry of ultrathin nickelate films from s±-wave to d-wave, driven by strain-induced hole doping. While not a fusion paper, understanding how to engineer high-temperature superconductors matters for the high-field superconducting magnets (HTS coils) used in compact tokamaks like SPARC. The data and MRPAPP analysis code are publicly available, making the findings reproducible in principle.

A companion dataset to the above nickelate thin-film study, providing the hopping parameter files and band structure calculations for both thin-film and thick-film La3Ni2O7 geometries used to model the strain-driven pairing symmetry transition. The dual-dataset structure and open code repository (MRPAPP on GitHub) give this work above-average reproducibility for a theoretical superconductivity study. Peripheral relevance to fusion lies in the broader HTS magnet materials program.

This Julia software package provides accurate X-ray photon attenuation coefficients for all 92 elements and over 100 predefined materials, using K-edge-aware interpolation to avoid errors near absorption edges. In fusion research, accurate radiation transport calculations are needed for neutron and gamma shielding design, tritium breeding blanket neutronics validation, and plasma-facing material diagnostics. The tool's value is practical: it reduces a common source of numerical error in radiation calculations near material edges.

This theoretical paper introduces a framework for minimizing coherence loss in two-qubit quantum gate operations by optimally scheduling the rotation angle of exchange-interaction unitaries, showing that half-angle gates accumulate only half the decoherence cost of full entangling gates. The fusion relevance is indirect: quantum computing is being explored for plasma simulation and real-time control optimization, where decoherence budgeting of this type would matter. The paper is simulation-only with no hardware validation, and the framework has not been tested on circuits relevant to physics simulation.

This dataset accompanies a robotics study demonstrating that mechanically cross-linked robot swarms can produce coordinated collective locomotion without centralized control, tested across group sizes of 1 to 20 robots. The distant fusion relevance is that remote handling and robotic maintenance of activated plasma-facing components and divertor modules is a serious engineering challenge, and emergent collective robotic behaviors could inform future maintenance system design. The dataset (~20 GB) and code are publicly archived under CC BY 4.0.

A companion dataset to the above cross-link robotics study, archiving raw experimental data from swarm locomotion trials on flat and inclined surfaces with varying cohesion conditions. As with the companion record, the marginal fusion relevance is in remote maintenance robotics for high-radiation environments. Two independent datasets for the same study provide modest confidence in the experimental reproducibility of the underlying results.

This computational paper models hair follicle aging as a loss of inter-follicular coupling using coupled excitable oscillator units, producing phase diagrams with recoverable and non-recoverable regions. Its nominal placement against the turbulence-modeling roadblock appears to be a false-positive similarity match — the paper has no substantive relevance to plasma turbulence or fusion. It is included only to complete the required ten entries on a low-activity day.

This paper proposes a geometric alternative to dark matter using a modified spacetime metric to fit galactic rotation curves, finding a near-perfect linear correlation between two free parameters. It has no relevance to nuclear fusion; it appears here only because today's paper pool contains no additional fusion-relevant candidates. The model is fitted to 174 SPARC galaxies but lacks formal model-selection criteria or comparison to standard frameworks.
