Large-scale laser gyroscopes with high resolution are widely used in Earth rotation sensing and geophysical detection. We demonstrate a giant 64 m green laser gyroscope in a passive running mode. By adopting a heterolithic architecture and using a 532 nm solid state laser as the light source, the gyroscope demonstrates a short wavelength, a large-scale factor, and currently the highest -factor of 6 × 10 among existing gyroscopes. A minimum sensitivity of 7×10// is achieved, which is the best performance among passive ring gyroscopes (PRGs) to the best of our knowledge. This high sensitivity allows detection of terrestrial secondary microseismic signal at about 0.25 Hz, demonstrating the application value of large-scale PRGs in the field of geophysics. With a theoretical shot-noise limit of 1×10//, the PRG offers a promising solution for future detection of Earth rotation with extreme sensitivity.

High-precision, Sagnac interferometry has long been proposed as a route to test fundamental questions in physics such as the magnitude of relativistic precessions (e.g., the Lense-Thirring effect).

A central concept in the theory of phase transitions beyond the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson paradigm is fractionalization: the formation of new quasiparticles that interact via emergent gauge fields. This concept has been extensively explored in the context of continuous quantum phase transitions between distinct orders that break different symmetries. We propose a mechanism for continuous order-to-order quantum phase transitions that operates independently of fractionalization.

Understanding the balance between charged particle acceleration and loss is central to radiation belt research. Jupiter's Galilean moons orbit within its intense radiation environment and can act both as sources and sinks of energetic particles. Using observations from the Juno spacecraft, we identify large-scale depletions of energetic electrons along Europa's orbit.

Unsaturated nitriles are significant in prebiotic and astrochemistry. Dicyanoacetylene, in particular, is a possible precursor of uracil and was previously detected in Titan's atmosphere. Its null dipole moment hindered detection through rotational spectroscopy in interstellar clouds, and it escaped identification until recently, when its protonated form NCNH was finally detected toward the Taurus molecular cloud (TMC-1) (Agúndez et al.
