Positive and Negative Square Energies of $2$-Connected Graphs

Let $G$ be a graph of order $n$, and let $s^+(G)$ and $s^-(G)$ denote the sums of the squares of the positive and negative adjacency eigenvalues of $G$, respectively. Recently, Liu, Tang, and Zhang proved the conjecture of Elphick, Farber, Goldberg, and Wocjan that every connected graph $G$ of order
