Kavli Affiliate: Herre Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Eugenia Pyurbeeva, Chunwei Hsu, David Vogel, Christina Wegeberg, Marcel Mayor | Summary: Single molecules are nanoscale thermodynamic systems with few degrees of freedom. Thus, the knowledge of their entropy can reveal the presence of microscopic electron transfer dynamics, that are difficult to observe otherwise. Here, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Shaoshan Wang, Pengcheng Ding, Zhuo Li, Cristina Mattioli, Wenlong E | Summary: Transition metal carbides have sparked unprecedented enthusiasm as high-performance catalysts in recent years. Still, the catalytic properties of copper (Cu) carbide remain unexplored. By introducing subsurface carbon (C) to Cu(111), displacement reaction of proton in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Shaoshan Wang, Zhuo Li, Pengcheng Ding, Cristina Mattioli, Wujun Huang | Summary: On-surface synthesis (OSS) involving relatively high energy barriers remains challenging due to a typical dilemma: firm molecular anchor is required to prevent molecular desorption upon the reaction, whereas sufficient lateral mobility is crucial for subsequent […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. K. Rothemund | First 5 Authors: Tyler D. Ross, Dino Osmanović, John F. Brady, Paul W. K. Rothemund, | Summary: Control of self-propelled particles is central to the development of many microrobotic technologies, from dynamically reconfigurable materials to advanced lab-on-a-chip systems. However, there are few physical principles by which particle trajectories […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. K. Rothemund | First 5 Authors: Tyler D. Ross, Dino Osmanović, John F. Brady, Paul W. K. Rothemund, | Summary: Snell’s law, which encompasses both refraction and total internal reflection, provides the foundation for ray optics and all lens-based instruments, from microscopes to telescopes. Refraction results when light crosses the interface […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Huanqing Chen, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, Philip Mansfield, , | Summary: Using a suite of self-similar cosmological simulations, we measure the probability distribution functions (PDFs) of real-space density, redshift-space density, and their geometric mean. We find that the real-space density PDF is well-described by a function of […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Daichi Kashino, Simon J. Lilly, Alvio Renzini, Emanuele Daddi, Giovanni Zamorani | Summary: We measure the relationship between stellar mass and stellar metallicity, the stellar mass–metallicity relation (MZR), for 1336 star-forming galaxies at $1.6le zle3.0$ (<z>=2.2) using rest-frame far-ultraviolet spectra from the zCOSMOS-deep survey. High signal-to-noise […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Milena Crnogorčević, Regina Caputo, Manuel Meyer, Nicola Omodei, Michael Gustafsson | Summary: Light axion-like particles (ALPs) are expected to be abundantly produced in core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), resulting in a $sim$10-second long burst of ALPs. These particles subsequently undergo conversion into gamma-rays in external magnetic fields to produce […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Keiser | Authors: Laura M Gunsalus, Michael J. Keiser and Katherine S Pollard | Summary: ABSTRACT Predictive remapping — the ability of cells in retinotopic brain areas to transiently exhibit spatio-temporal retinotopic shifts beyond the spatial extent of their classical receptive fields — has been proposed as a primary mechanism that stabilizes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ali Hajimiri | First 5 Authors: Aroutin Khachaturian, Reza Fatemi, Artsroun Darbinian, Ali Hajimiri, | Summary: A solid-state active beamformer based on the annular-ring diffraction pattern is proposed for an integrated photonic platform. Such a circularly symmetric annular-ring aperture achieves radiating element limited FOV. Furthermore, it is demonstrated that a multi-annular-ring aperture with […]
