Kavli Affiliate: Paul Alivisatos | Summary:Surface energy is a fundamental property of materials and is particularly important in describing nanomaterials where atoms or molecules at the surface constitute a large fraction of the material. Traditionally, surface energy is considered to be a positive quantity, where atoms or molecules at the surface are less thermodynamically stable […]

Paul Alivisatos | Summary: Surface energy is a fundamental property of materials and is particularly important in describing nanomaterials where atoms or molecules at the surface constitute a large fraction of the material. Traditionally, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Xiao-Ming Bi, Lu Chen, Ke Wang, , | Summary: Primordial black holes (PBHs) are mainly characterized by their mass function, in which there may be some huge suppression for certain mass spans. If this is the case, the absence of these PBHs will form mass gaps. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: James L Hart, Lopa Bhatt, Yanbing Zhu, Myung-Geun Han, Elisabeth Bianco | Summary: The layer stacking order in 2D materials strongly affects functional properties and holds promise for next generation electronic devices. In bulk, octahedral MoTe$_2$ possesses two stacking arrangements, the Weyl semimetal T$_d$ phase, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Masataka Mishima, Yuhei Nakayama, Satoshi Shirai, | Summary: The Wino is an $mathrm{SU}(2)_{L}$ triplet Majorana fermion and a well-motivated dark matter candidate. The mass difference between the charged and the neutral Winos is small thanks to the $mathrm{SU}(2)_{L}$ symmetry. The small mass difference makes the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Noemie Globus, Anatoli Fedynitch, Roger D. Blandford, , | Summary: The origin of Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays is a 60-year old mystery. We show that with more events at the highest energies (above 150~EeV) it may be possible to limit the character of the sources […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lynden Archer | Summary:Electroconvection in rechargeable batteries enhances the growth of dendrites at the electrode surface. The addition of low molecular weight polymers to the electrolyte in batteries results in the formation of a thin layer of higher polymer concentration near the electrode. This is due to van der Waals forces of attraction […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Reynolds | Authors: Zachary W Davis, Nicholas M Dotson, Tom Franken, Lyle Muller and John Reynolds | Summary: Abstract The cortical column is one of the fundamental computational circuits in the brain. In order to understand the role neurons in different layers of this circuit play in cortical function it is necessary […]

Canesso, Tiago Bruno Castro, Sandra Nakandakari-Higa, Ainsley Lockhart, Daria Esterhazy, Bernardo Sgarbi Reis, Gabriel D Victora and Daniel Mucida | Summary: Abstract The intestinal immune system must concomitantly tolerate food and commensals and protect against pathogens. Dendritic cells (DCs) orchestrate these immune responses by presenting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Adrian E. Bayer, Jia Liu, Ryo Terasawa, Alexandre Barreira, Yici Zhong | Summary: We study the effect of super-sample covariance (SSC) on the power spectrum and higher-order statistics: bispectrum, halo mass function, and void size function. We also investigate the effect of SSC on the cross covariance […]
