abstract
We measure the anisotropic clustering of the quasar sample from Data Release 16 (DR16) of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey IV extended Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (eBOSS). A sample of $343,708$ spectroscopically confirmed quasars between redshift $0.8<z<2.2$ are used as tracers of the underlying dark matter field. In comparison with DR14 sample, the final sample doubles the number of objects as well as the survey area. In this paper, we present the analysis in configuration space by measuring the two-point correlation function and decompose using the Legendre polynomials. For the full-shape analysis of the Legendre multipole moments, we measure the BAO distance and the growth rate of the cosmic structure. At an effective redshift of $z_{\rm eff}=1.48$, we measure the comoving angular diameter distance $D_{\rm M}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag} = 30.66\pm0.88$, the Hubble distance $D_{\rm H}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag} = 13.11\pm0.52$, and the growth rate $f\sigma_8(z_{\rm eff}) = 0.439\pm0.048$. The accuracy of these measurements is confirmed using an extensive set of mock simulations developed for the quasar sample. The uncertainties on the distance and growth rate measurements have been reduced substantially ($\sim 45\%$ and $\sim30\%$) with respect to the DR14 results. We also perform a BAO-only analysis to cross check the robustness of the methodology of the full-shape analysis. Combining our analysis with the Fourier space analysis, we arrive at $D^{\bf{c}}_{\rm M}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag} = 30.22 \pm 0.79$, $D^{\bf{c}}_{\rm H}(z_{\rm eff})/r_{\rm drag} = 13.26 \pm 0.47$, and $f\sigma_8^{\bf{c}}(z_{\rm eff}) = 0.464 \pm 0.045$.

Signatures of Modified Gravity on Linear Scales in a Dynamical Dark Energy Background
Using Planck, DESI, supernovae, and redshift-space distortions, the authors infer that modified gravity, if present, must act only below ~30 Mpc and cannot modify the large scales previously considered.

Evidence for non-cold dark matter from DESI DR2 measurements
DESI BAO plus DES-Y5 supernovae favor a slightly negative dark matter equation of state at 2.4 sigma, but combining with Planck moves the best fit to a positive value, exposing a dataset-dependent tension.

Illustrating the consequences of a misuse of $\sigma_8$ in cosmology
Cosmologists should compare clustering amplitude with the h-independent statistic sigma_12 instead of sigma_8, because sigma_8's smoothing scale shifts with H0 and artificially worsens the growth tension in high-H0 models.

Composite Dark Energy and the Cosmological Tensions
A composite dark energy with negative-energy phantom matter before z≈1.5 and quintessence afterward improves the fit over ΛCDM by ΔAIC≈60 and resolves both tensions with BAO 2D, but not with BAO 3D.

Alleviating cosmological tensions with a hybrid dark sector
A one-parameter interacting dark sector model can shift H0 upward and S8 downward when fit to Planck, DESI and supernova data, but the Bayesian evidence over LambdaCDM is inconclusive without SH0ES calibration.
