Kavli Affiliate: Daniel E. Holz | First 5 Authors: Michael Zevin, Daniel E. Holz, , , | Summary: The population of binary black hole mergers identified through gravitational waves has uncovered unexpected features in the intrinsic properties of black holes in the Universe. One particularly surprising and exciting result is the possible existence of black […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Quang H. Tran, Taylor J. Hoyt, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Elias K. Oakes | Summary: We determine the distance to the Sculptor Dwarf Spheroidal via three Population II stellar distance indicators: (a) the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB), (b) RR Lyrae variables […]
Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Pisin Chen, Misao Sasaki, Dong-han Yeom, Junggi Yoon, | Summary: The information loss paradox remains unresolved ever since Hawking’s seminal discovery of black hole evaporation. In this essay, we revisit the entanglement entropy via Euclidean path integral (EPI) and allow for the branching of semi-classical histories during […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Jaekwang Jeong, Jongwon Lee, Gabriel Talaia, Wonnam Kim, Junho Song, Kwangmin Yoo, David G. Gonzalez, Diana Athonvarangkul, Jaehun Shin, Pamela Dann, Ann M Haberman, Lark Kyun Kim, Shawn M. Ferguson, Jungmin Choi and John Wysolmerski | Summary: Involution of the mammary gland after lactation is a dramatic example of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Solomon Snyder | Authors: Robin Roychaudhuri, Moataz M Gadalla, Lauren Albacarys, Timothy West, Harry Saavedra, Leon Mario Amzel and Solomon H. Snyder | Summary: Endogenous D-stereoisomers are being recognized as functionally important molecules in mammals. Here we report the first identification of endogenous D-cysteine in mammalian pancreas. Serine Racemase (SR) is the biosynthetic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Michael J. Roach, Sarah Beecroft, Kathie Mihindukulasuriya, Leran Wang, Lais Farias Oliveira Lima, Elizabeth A. Dinsdale, Robert Edwards and Scott Allyn Handley | Summary: The CRISPR-Cas9 system has enabled researchers to precisely modify/edit the sequence of a genome. A typical editing experiment consists of two steps: (i) editing cultured […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Dan Kondo, Robert McGehee, Tom Melia, Hitoshi Murayama, | Summary: We present a model of self-interacting dark matter based on QCD-like theories and inspired by the proximity of $a_0(980pm 20)$ to the $Kbar{K}(990)$ threshold. Dark matter is comprised of dark pions which self-scatter via the $sigma$ resonance […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Yoshitaka Hatta, Bo-Wen Xiao, Feng Yuan, , | Summary: Inspired by a recent study of Iancu, Mueller and Triantafyllopoulos [1] and earlier papers by Golec-Biernat and Wusthoff [2,3], we propose semi-inclusive diffractive deep inelastic scattering (SIDDIS) to investigate the gluon tomography in the nucleon and nuclei at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Michael J. Roach, Sarah Beecroft, Kathie Mihindukulasuriya, Leran Wang, Lais Farias Oliveira Lima, Elizabeth A. Dinsdale, Robert Edwards and Scott Allyn Handley | Summary: Analysis of viral diversity using modern nucleic acid sequencing technologies presents several unique challenges. Foremost being that virus detection requires a non-targeted, random (shotgun) approach. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | First 5 Authors: Biao Huang, Tsz-Him Leung, Dan Stamper-Kurn, W. Vincent Liu, | Summary: We analytically identify a new class of quantum scars protected by spatiotemporal translation symmetries, dubbed Floquet-Bloch scars. They distinguish from previous (quasi-)static scars by a rigid spectral pairing only possible in Floquet systems, where strong interaction […]
