Four-inch rhombohedral-stacked boron nitride wafers are reproducibly synthesized through a step-templated interfacial epitaxy strategy, exhibiting high-density, fast-speed and non-volatile memory performances.

arXiv:2603.29493v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Memory-augmented Large Language Models (LLMs) are essential for developing capable, long-term AI agents. Recently, applying Reinforcement Learning (RL) to optimize memory operations, such as extraction, updating, and retrieval, has emerged as a highly promising research direction. However, existing implementations remain highly fragmented and task-specific, lacking a unified infrastructure to streamline the integration, training, and evaluation of these complex pipelines. To address this gap, we present MemFactory, the first unified, highly modular training and inference framework specifically designed for memory-augmented agents. Inspired by the success of unified fine-tuning frameworks like LLaMA-Factory, MemFactory abstracts the memory lifecycle into atomic, plug-and-play components, enabling researchers to seamlessly construct custom memory agents via a "Lego-like" architecture. Furthermore, the framework natively integrates Group Relative Policy Optimization (GRPO) to fine-tune internal memory management policies driven by multi-dimensional environmental rewards. MemFactory provides out-of-the-box support for recent cutting-edge paradigms, including Memory-R1, RMM, and MemAgent. We empirically validate MemFactory on the open-source MemAgent architecture using its publicly available training and evaluation data. Across the evaluation sets, MemFactory improves performance over the corresponding base models on average, with relative gains of up to 14.8%. By providing a standardized, extensible, and easy-to-use infrastructure, MemFactory significantly lowers the barrier to entry, paving the way for future innovations in memory-driven AI agents.

A dual-action force dynamics strategy using a hard silicon template as a nanoimprinting stamp combined with inverted transfer printing is described for the manufacture of high-performance full-colour ultrahigh-resolution quantum dot light-emitting diodes (LEDs) for active-matrix displays, while revealing electric-field reconstruction in nanoscale arrays and introducing dielectric matching to mitigate field concentration and performance degradation.

arXiv:2603.07759v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Rb-82 dynamic cardiac PET imaging is widely used for the clinical diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD), but its short half-life results in high noise levels that degrade dynamic frame quality and parametric imaging. The lack of paired clean-noisy training data, rapid tracer kinetics, and frame-dependent noise variations further limit the effectiveness of existing deep learning denoising methods. We propose DECADE (A Temporally-Consistent Unsupervised Diffusion model for Enhanced Rb-82 CArdiac PET DEnoising), an unsupervised diffusion framework that generalizes across early- to late-phase dynamic frames. DECADE incorporates temporal consistency during both training and iterative sampling, using noisy frames as guidance to preserve quantitative accuracy. The method was trained and evaluated on datasets acquired from Siemens Vision 450 and Siemens Biograph Vision Quadra scanners. On the Vision 450 dataset, DECADE consistently produced high-quality dynamic and parametric images with reduced noise while preserving myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR). On the Quadra dataset, using 15%-count images as input and full-count images as reference, DECADE outperformed UNet-based and other diffusion models in image quality and K1/MBF quantification. The proposed framework enables effective unsupervised denoising of Rb-82 dynamic cardiac PET without paired training data, supporting clearer visualization while maintaining quantitative integrity.
