Bridging scales in a multiscale pattern-forming system

Posted by dbos Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Laeschkir Würthner, Fridtjof Brauns, Grzegorz Pawlik, Jacob Halatek, Jacob Kerssemakers | Summary: Self-organized pattern formation is vital for many biological processes. Reaction-diffusion models have advanced our understanding of how biological systems develop spatial structures, starting from homogeneity. However, biological processes inherently involve multiple spatial and temporal scales […]

Magnetospheric curvature radiation by bunches as emission mechanism for repeating fast radio bursts

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Wei-Yang Wang, Yuan-Pei Yang, Chen-Hui Niu, Renxin Xu, Bing Zhang | Summary: Coherent curvature radiation as the radiation mechanism for fast radio bursts (FRBs) has been discussed since FRBs were discovered. We study the spectral and polarization properties of repeating FRBs within the framework of coherent curvature […]

Microscopic Theory of Magnetic Disorder-Induced Decoherence in Superconducting Nb Films

Posted by Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Evan Sheridan, Thomas F. Harrelson, Eric Sivonxay, Kristin A. Persson, M. Virginia P. Altoé | Summary: The performance of superconducting qubits is orders of magnitude below what is expected from theoretical estimates based on the loss tangents of the constituent bulk materials. This has been attributed […]

Transcriptional and mutational signatures of the aging germline

Posted by klaurent Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Evan Witt, Christopher B Langer, Nicolas Svetec and Li Zhao | Summary: Abstract Aging is a complex biological process that is accompanied by changes in gene expression and mutational load. In many species, including humans, older fathers pass on more paternally-derived de novo mutations; however, the cellular basis and […]

Origin of high thermal conductivity in disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene films: ballistic phonons within enlarged crystals

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Taeyong Kim, Stavros X. Drakopoulos, Sara Ronca, Austin J. Minnich, | Summary: The thermal transport properties of oriented polymers are of fundamental and practical interest. High thermal conductivities ($gtrsim 50$ Wm$^{-1}$K$^{-1}$) have recently been reported in disentangled ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) films, considerably exceeding prior […]
