Kavli Affiliate: Zhigang Suo | First 5 Authors: Yukun Xia, Jikun Wang, Ruisen Yang, Tongqing Lu, Tiejun Wang | Summary: Magnetic elastomers deform under a magnetic field, working as a soft actuator. Untethered microbot made of magnetic elastomers have great potentials in performing medical tasks inside human body as mini doctors. However, the lack of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Rodriguez Enrique Lopez | Summary:We report new polarimetric and photometric maps of the massive star-forming region OMC-1 using the HAWC+ instrument on the Stratospheric Observatory for Infrared Astronomy (SOFIA). We present continuum polarimetric and photometric measurements of this region at 53, 89, 154, and 214 microns at angular resolutions of 5.1, 7.9, 14.0, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Abraham Stroock | Summary:We develop a novel data-driven robust model predictive control (DDRMPC) approach for automatic control of irrigation systems. The fundamental idea is to integrate both mechanistic models, which describe dynamics in soil moisture variations, and data-driven models, which characterize uncertainty in forecast errors of evapotranspiration and precipitation, into a holistic systems […]

The fundamental idea is to integrate both mechanistic models, which describe dynamics in soil moisture variations, and data-driven […]
Kavli Affiliate: R. G. McMahon | Summary:We report the discovery and spectroscopic confirmation of 22 new gravitationally lensed quasars found using $textitGaia$ data release 2. The selection was made using several techniques: multiple $textitGaia$ detections around objects in quasar candidate catalogues, modelling of unWISE coadd pixels using $textitGaia$ astrometry, and $textitGaia$ detections offset from photometric […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hiraku Nakajima | Summary:We give a provisional construction of the Kac-Moody Lie algebra module structure on the hyperbolic restriction of the intersection cohomology complex of the Coulomb branch of a framed quiver gauge theory, as a refinement of the conjectural geometric Satake correspondence for Kac-Moody algebras proposed in an earlier paper with Braverman, […]
