Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Guadalupe C. Garcia, Thomas M. Bartol, Jr., Terrence J. Sejnowski and Padmini Rangamani | Summary: Abstract Life is based on energy conversion. In the nervous system, in particular, significant amounts of energy are needed to maintain synaptic transmission and homeostasis. To a large extent, neurons depend on oxidative phosphorylation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Pietro DeCamilli | Authors: Taryn J. Olivas, Yumei Wu, Shenliang Yu, Lin Luan, Peter Choi, Shanta Nag, Pietro De Camilli, Kallol Gupta and Thomas J. Melia | Summary: Abstract During autophagosome biogenesis, the incorporation of transmembrane proteins into the expanding phagophore is not readily observed. In addition, the membrane surface area of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Csaba Csáki, Andrew Gomes, Yonit Hochberg, Eric Kuflik, Kevin Langhoff | Summary: We introduce Super-Resonant Dark Matter, a model of self-interacting dark matter based on the low energy effective theory of supersymmetric QCD. The structure of the theory ensures a resonant enhancement of the self-interactions of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Carolyn Kierans, Tadayuki Takahashi, Gottfried Kanbach, , | Summary: Compton telescopes rely on the dominant interaction mechanism in the MeV gamma-ray energy range: Compton scattering. By precisely recording the position and energy of multiple Compton scatter interactions in a detector volume, a photon’s original direction and energy […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Doug Johnstone, Bhavana Lalchand, Steve Mairs, Hsien Shang, Wen Ping Chen | Summary: Short-duration flares at millimeter wavelengths provide unique insights into the strongest magnetic reconnection events in stellar coronae, and combine with longer-term variability to introduce complications to next-generation cosmology surveys. We analyze 5.5 years […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Richard French, Christophe Mandy, Richard Hunter, Ehson Mosleh, Doug Sinclair | Summary: Regular, low-cost Decadal-class science missions to planetary destinations will be enabled by high-{Delta}V small spacecraft, such as the high-energy Photon, and small launch vehicles, such as Electron, to support expanding opportunities for scientists and to […]
