Scaling down an insect-size microrobot, HAMR-VI into HAMR-Jr

Kavli Affiliate: Robert J. Wood | First 5 Authors: Kaushik Jayaram, Jennifer Shum, Samantha Castellanos, E. Farrell Helbling, Robert J. Wood | Summary: Here we present HAMR-Jr, a SI{22.5}{millimeter}, SI{320}{milligram} quadrupedal microrobot. With eight independently actuated degrees of freedom, HAMR-Jr is, to our knowledge, the most mechanically dexterous legged robot at its scale and is […]

Twist Gap and Global Symmetry in Two Dimensions

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Nathan Benjamin, Hirosi Ooguri, Shu-Heng Shao, Yifan Wang, | Summary: We show that every compact, unitary two-dimensional CFT with an abelian conserved current has vanishing twist gap for charged primary fields with respect to the $mathfrak{u}(1)times$Virasoro algebra. This means that either the chiral algebra is enhanced by […]

Spatially resolved velocity structure in jets of DF Tau and UY Aur A

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Principe | First 5 Authors: Anastasiia V Uvarova, Hans Moritz Günther, David A. Principe, P. Christian Schneider, | Summary: Young stars accrete mass and angular momentum from their circumstellar disks. Some of them also drive outflows, which can be distinguished in optical forbidden emission lines (FELs). We analyze a sample of […]
