Spin it as you like: the (lack of a) measurement of the spin tilt distribution with LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA binary black holes

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Salvatore Vitale, Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot, , | Summary: The growing set of gravitational-wave sources is being used to measure the properties of the underlying astrophysical populations of compact objects, black holes and neutron stars. Most of the detected systems are black hole binaries. While much has […]

Structure and dynamics of motor-driven microtubule bundles

Posted by dbos Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel J. Needleman | First 5 Authors: Bezia Lemma, Linnea Lemma, Stephanie C. Ems-McClung, Claire E. Walczak, Zvonimir Dogic | Summary: Connecting the large-scale emergent behaviors of active materials to the microscopic properties of their constituents is a challenge due to a lack of data on the multiscale dynamics and structure of such […]

Moiré Engineering and Topological Flat Bands in Twisted Orbital-Active Bilayers

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Huan Wang, Yadong Jiang, Zhaochen Liu, Jing Wang, | Summary: Topological flat bands at the Fermi level offer a promising platform to study a variety of intriguing correlated phase of matter. Here we present band engineering in the twisted orbital-active bilayers with spin-orbit coupling. The symmetry constraints […]

Dynamics of Time-Modulated, Nonlinear Phononic Lattices

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Brian L. Kim, Christoper Chong, Setare Hajarolasvadi, Yifan Wang, Chiara Daraio | Summary: The propagation of acoustic and elastic waves in time-varying, spatially homogeneous media can exhibit different phenomena when compared to traditional spatially-varying, temporally-homogeneous media. In the present work, the response of a one-dimensional phononic lattice […]
