Polarized radiation and the Emergence of Biological Homochirality on Earth and Beyond

Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Noemie Globus, Anatoli Fedynitch, Roger D. Blandford, , | Summary: It has been proposed that spin-polarized cosmic radiation can induce asymmetric changes in helical biopolymers that may account for the emergence of biological homochirality. The parity violation in the weak interaction has direct consequences on the […]

PHOENIX: Device-Centric Cellular Network Protocol Monitoring using Runtime Verification

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Mitziu Echeverria, Zeeshan Ahmed, Bincheng Wang, M. Fareed Arif, Syed Rafiul Hussain | Summary: End-user-devices in the current cellular ecosystem are prone to many different vulnerabilities across different generations and protocol layers. Fixing these vulnerabilities retrospectively can be expensive, challenging, or just infeasible. A pragmatic approach for […]

Non-Hermitian Dynamics Mimicked by a Hermitian Nonlinear System

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Moses | First 5 Authors: Noah Flemens, Nicolas Swenson, Jeffrey Moses, , | Summary: We illustrate that a Hermitian nonlinear optical system consisting of hybridized parametric amplification and second harmonic generation mimics non-Hermitian evolution dynamics. Oscillation damping, evolution to a static steady state, and exceptional points arise from the use of second […]
