Angling for x-ray pulsar geometry with polarimetry

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Victor Doroshenko, Juri Poutanen, Sergey Tsygankov, Valery Suleimanov, Matteo Bachetti | Summary: Using observations of X-ray pulsar Her X-1 by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer, we report on a highly significant detection of the polarization signal from an accreting neutron star. The observed degree of the […]

Functional network properties derived from widefield calcium imaging differ with wakefulness and across cell type

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crair | Authors: David O’Connor, Francesca Mandino, Xilin Shen, Corey Horien, Xinxin Ge, Peter Herman, Michael Crair, Xenophon Papademetris, Evelyn MR Lake and Robert Todd Constable | Summary: To improve bench-to-bedside translation, it is integral that knowledge flow bidirectionally from – animal models to humans, and vice versa. This will be facilitated […]

An entanglement perspective on the quantum approximate optimization algorithm

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Maxime Dupont, Nicolas Didier, Mark J. Hodson, Joel E. Moore, Matthew J. Reagor | Summary: Many quantum algorithms seek to output a specific bitstring solving the problem of interest–or a few if the solution is degenerate. It is the case for the quantum approximate optimization algorithm […]

ET White Paper: To Find the First Earth 2.0

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Jian Ge, Hui Zhang, Weicheng Zang, Hongping Deng, Shude Mao | Summary: We propose to develop a wide-field and ultra-high-precision photometric survey mission, temporarily named "Earth 2.0 (ET)". This mission is designed to measure, for the first time, the occurrence rate and the orbital distributions of Earth-sized […]

Sustained unidirectional rotation of a self-organized DNA rotor on a nanopore

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | Summary:Flow-driven rotary motors drive functional processes in human society such as windmills and water wheels. Although examples of such rotary motors also feature prominently in cell biology, their synthetic construction at the nanoscale has thus far remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate flow-driven rotary motion of a self-organized DNA nanostructure that […]

A DNA turbine powered by a transmembrane potential across a nanopore

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | Summary:Rotary motors play key roles in energy transduction, from macroscale windmills to nanoscale turbines such as ATP synthase in cells. Despite our capabilities to construct engines at many scales, developing functional synthetic turbines at the nanoscale has remained challenging. Here, we experimentally demonstrate rationally designed nanoscale DNA-origami turbines with three […]

Med-DANet: Dynamic Architecture Network for Efficient Medical Volumetric Segmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wenxuan Wang, Chen Chen, Jing Wang, Sen Zha, Yan Zhang | Summary: For 3D medical image (e.g. CT and MRI) segmentation, the difficulty of segmenting each slice in a clinical case varies greatly. Previous research on volumetric medical image segmentation in a slice-by-slice manner conventionally use the […]
