Kavli Affiliate: Albert Stebbins | First 5 Authors: Jack Burns, Gregg Hallinan, Tzu-Ching Chang, Marin Anderson, Judd Bowman | Summary: An array of low-frequency dipole antennas on the lunar farside surface will probe a unique, unexplored epoch in the early Universe called the Dark Ages. It begins at Recombination when neutral hydrogen atoms formed, first […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, the KAGRA Collaboration, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott | Summary: We report results from searches for anisotropic stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds using data from the first three observing runs of the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors. For the first time, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul L. McEuen | First 5 Authors: Tianyi Han, Jixiang Yang, Qihang Zhang, Lei Wang, Kenji Watanabe | Summary: Monolayer graphene aligned with hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) develops a gap at the charge neutrality point (CNP). This gap has previously been extensively studied by electrical transport through thermal activation measurements. Here, we report […]

Kavli Affiliate: Alessandra Lanzara | First 5 Authors: Nicholas Dale, Ryo Mori, M. Iqbal Bakti Utama, Jonathan D. Denlinger, Conrad Stansbury | Summary: Electron-hole asymmetry is a fundamental property in solids that can determine the nature of quantum phase transitions and the regime of operation for devices. The observation of electron-hole asymmetry in graphene and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Laura Schaefer | First 5 Authors: Edwin S. Kite, Laura Schaefer, , , | Summary: Data suggest that most rocky exoplanets with orbital period $p$ $<$ 100 d ("hot" rocky exoplanets) formed as gas-rich sub-Neptunes that subsequently lost most of their envelopes, but whether these rocky exoplanets still have atmospheres is unknown. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Alex Drlica-Wagner, Edgar Marrufo Villalpando, Judah O’Neil, Juan Estrada, Stephen Holland | Summary: We characterize the response of a novel 250 $mu$m thick, fully-depleted Skipper Charged-Coupled Device (CCD) to visible/near-infrared light with a focus on potential applications for astronomical observations. We achieve stable, single-electron resolution with readout […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Hao Geng, Yasunori Nomura, Hao-Yu Sun, , | Summary: We formulate a version of the information paradox in de Sitter spacetime and show that it is solved by the emergence of entanglement islands in the context of the DS/dS correspondence; in particular, the entanglement entropy of a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Danilo B. Liarte, Stephen J. Thornton, Eric Schwen, Itai Cohen, Debanjan Chowdhury | Summary: The onset of rigidity in interacting liquids, as they undergo a transition to a disordered solid, is associated with a rearrangement of the low-frequency vibrational spectrum. In this letter, we derive scaling forms […]
