Optimal multifrequency weighting for CMB lensing

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Blake Sherwin | First 5 Authors: Noah Sailer, Emmanuel Schaan, Simone Ferraro, Omar Darwish, Blake Sherwin | Summary: Extragalactic foregrounds in Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) temperature maps lead to significant biases in CMB lensing reconstruction if not properly accounted for. Combinations of multi-frequency data have been used to minimize the overall map variance […]

Stress tensor mesostructures for freeform shaping of thin substrates

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Ralf Heilmann | Summary:Stress-induced shaping, which deforms thin substrates utilizing stressed surface coatings, has enabled and enhanced a host of applications in past decades. Owing to the touchless fabrication process compatible with modern planar technology, the method has been applied from microscale to macroscale applications such as self-assembled micro-structures and space mirrors. However, […]
