Quantum Information Flow in Spacetime Foam: A Novel Approach to the Black Hole Information Paradox
Quantum Physics | STEM
Rohan Mehta

The interplay between quantum information theory and quantum gravity has gained increasing attention in recent decades, particularly in relation to the black hole information paradox. This paper explores the hypothesis that spacetime foam—the turbulent structure of spacetime at the Planck scale—serves as a conduit for quantum information flow. We analyze whether fluctuations in spacetime foam can encode, preserve, and redistribute information, offering a potential resolution to the paradox of information loss in black holes. By drawing parallels with quantum error correction and quantum computing models, we propose that spacetime foam may act as a natural information-preserving code. We also discuss possible pathways for empirical exploration, including correlations in Hawking radiation and analog systems such as quantum simulators and condensed matter analogues. This framework provides a speculative yet promising bridge between theoretical quantum gravity and testable quantum information science.

Light Pollution in Dhaka: Analysing Selected Neighbourhood Trends and Their Effects on Urban Stargazing
Environmental Science | STEM Analysis
Apsora Azim

This study looks into the rise of light pollution in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with a particular emphasis on its impact on urban stargazing. As urbanisation spreads throughout the capital, artificial lighting from residential, commercial, and industrial sources has substantially impacted the night sky, reducing visibility and obstructing astronomical observation. The study analyses four neighbourhoods: Gulshan, Bashundhara, Uttara, and Jatrabari, with differing degrees of urban development. The study takes a quantitative approach, combining satellite-based light pollution data (from lightpollution.info) with actual survey responses from local inhabitants on night sky visibility and artificial lighting perception.
Descriptive statistics were used to summarise the levels of perceived light pollution and stargazing difficulty. Comparative analysis was performed to investigate the association between urbanisation level and measured brightness. Jatrabari, which has lower infrastructural density and socioeconomic development, served as a comparison control for more developed zones.
This study emphasises the critical necessity for light pollution mitigation techniques in Dhaka's urban design, including governmental interventions addressing outdoor lighting controls. The paper contributes to the expanding worldwide discussion about sustainable urban development by providing localised evidence for the environmental implications of excessive artificial illumination.

How Quantum Computing can Revolutionize Aerospace Engineering
Quantum Computing | Aerospace Engineering
Raidah Hasan

While most people upon hearing the word “Quantum” would correlate it with the bizarre sci-fi stories seen in movies like Marvel’s “Ant-Man” and while once quantum mechanics was indeed nothing but science fiction, the same cannot be said today. Quantum Computers were once mere theory, but now , this is one of the most crucial fields of ongoing research, which, if successful on a large scale, could completely transform numerous industries and workforces. One such industry which is in dire need of quantum computing benefits is the Aerospace Industry, something once considered equally as complicated as quantum computing itself. This paper is a scientific literature review which aims to summarize how the recent developments and research in Quantum Computing can Revolutionize the Aerospace Industry. Recent developments in quantum computing have shown promise of many great contributions to aerospace such as finding better materials, optimized design which handles multiple interdependent issues, improved aerodynamic simulations and propulsion systems, more secure data transfer and an overall makeover for the aerospace industry which suits our constantly improving and technologically armed civilisation. Although quite fascinating, this technology comes with many drawbacks too such as risks of qubit decoherence and the lack of infrastructure to tackle quantum computational threats if they arrived. By the end of this paper one should be able to tell what the relationship between aerospace engineering and quantum computing looks like.

A Dynamic Polyhedral Memory Framework for Generalist Multi-Modal AI
Computer Science | AI
Hana Kim

Recent advances in foundation models have pushed generalist AI forward, but existing architectures still face limitations in flexible adaptation and scalable memory across diverse tasks. This work presents a novel framework that combines dynamic polyhedral memory with transformer-based processing to build adaptive, multi-modal generalist agents. In this design, each memory unit is modeled as a convex polytope, creating a non-Euclidean latent space where reasoning occurs through Polyhedral Structural Attention (PSA). PSA computes geometric relevance scores over these polytopes, enabling efficient and context-aware memory traversal. Evaluations on tasks spanning vision-language navigation, tool manipulation, and symbolic reasoning show improvements in adaptation speed, interpretability, and memory efficiency compared to baselines such as PaLM-E and Gemini. These results suggest that geometric memory architectures provide a promising path toward scalable and interpretable generalist intelligence.

The Role of Testosterone in Modulating Immune Responses to Vaccination Across Molecular and Systemic Levels
Biology | Medicine
Diya Patel

Vaccination remains one of the most effective strategies for preventing infectious disease, yet responses to vaccines vary significantly across individuals. Emerging evidence highlights biological sex—and specifically testosterone—as an important factor influencing immune function and vaccine efficacy. Testosterone, widely recognized as an immunosuppressive hormone, alters cytokine production and immune cell activity, leading to weaker antibody responses in males compared to females. This literature review synthesizes findings from both animal and human studies, including work by Posma, Wunderlich, and Furman, to evaluate testosterone’s role at molecular and systemic levels. Results consistently demonstrate that elevated testosterone levels correlate with reduced vaccine efficacy, impaired protective immunity, and altered inflammatory pathways such as arachidonic acid metabolism. These findings challenge the “one-size-fits-all” model of vaccine administration and raise the possibility of developing sex-specific or personalized vaccine strategies. Understanding the immunomodulatory role of testosterone not only informs future vaccine development but also holds implications for improving public health outcomes through more tailored vaccination approaches.
