Imaging moiré flat bands in 3D reconstructed WSe2/WS2 superlattices

Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Hongyuan Li, Shaowei Li, Mit H. Naik, Jingxu Xie, Xinyu Li | Summary: Moir’e superlattices in transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) heterostructures can host novel correlated quantum phenomena due to the interplay of narrow moir’e flat bands and strong, long-range Coulomb interactions1-5. However, microscopic knowledge of the […]

Physics Successfully Implements Lagrange Multiplier Optimization

Kavli Affiliate: Eli Yablonovitch | Summary:Optimization is a major part of human effort. While being mathematical, optimization is also built into physics. For example, physics has the principle of Least Action, the principle of Minimum Entropy Generation, and the Variational Principle. Physics also has physical annealing which, of course, preceded computational Simulated Annealing. Physics has […]

Dual supermassive black holes at close separation revealed by the Hyper Suprime-Cam Subaru Strategic Program

Kavli Affiliate: Chiaki Hikage | Summary:The unique combination of superb spatial resolution, wide-area coverage, and deep depth of the optical imaging from the Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC) Subaru Strategic Program is utilized to search for dual quasar candidates. Using an automated image analysis routine on 34,476 known SDSS quasars, we identify those with two (or more) […]

Scientific Discovery by Generating Counterfactuals using Image Translation

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brenner | First 5 Authors: Arunachalam Narayanaswamy, Subhashini Venugopalan, Dale R. Webster, Lily Peng, Greg Corrado | Summary: Model explanation techniques play a critical role in understanding the source of a model’s performance and making its decisions transparent. Here we investigate if explanation techniques can also be used as a mechanism for […]

Fast Molecular Compression by a Hyperthermal Collision Gives Bond-Selective Mechanochemistry

Kavli Affiliate: Stephan Rauschenbach | Summary:Using electrospray ion beam deposition, we collide the complex molecule Reichardt’s Dye (C41H30NO+) at low, hyperthermal translational energy (2-50 eV) with a Cu(100) surface and image the outcome at single-molecule level by scanning tunneling microscopy. We observe bond-selective reaction induced by the translational kinetic energy. The collision impulse compresses the […]
