Kavli Affiliate: Maria Monzani | Summary:The fundamental nature of Dark Matter is a central theme of the Snowmass 2021 process, extending across all Frontiers. In the last decade, advances in detector technology, analysis techniques and theoretical modeling have enabled a new generation of experiments and searches while broadening the types of candidates we can pursue. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: John C Bowler and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Summary The entorhinal cortex (EC) is central to the brain’s navigation system. Its subregions are conventionally thought to compute dichotomous representations for spatial processing: medial entorhinal cortex (MEC) provides a global spatial map, while lateral entorhinal cortex (LEC) encodes specific sensory […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steven Siegelbaum | Authors: Tobias Bock, Eric W Buss, Olivia M Lofaro, Felix W Leroy, Bina Santoro and Steven A Siegelbaum | Summary: Abstract Hyperpolarization-activated, cyclic nucleotide-gated (HCN) channels generate the cationic Ih current in neurons and regulate the excitability of neuronal networks. The function of HCN channels depends, in part, on their […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gaby Maimon | Authors: Peter Mussells Pires, L F Abbott and Gaby Maimon | Summary: Abstract Neuronal signals relevant for spatial navigation have been described in many species[1-12], however, a circuit-level understanding of how such signals interact to guide behaviour is lacking. Here we characterize a neuronal circuit in the Drosophila central complex […]
Kavli Affiliate: L. P. Kouwenhoven | Summary:The proximity effect in semiconductor-superconductor nanowires is expected to generate an induced gap in the semiconductor. The magnitude of this induced gap, together with the semiconductor properties like the spin-orbit coupling and $g$,-,factor, depends on the coupling between the materials. It is predicted that this coupling can be adjusted […]

Dekker | Summary: The proximity effect in semiconductor-superconductor nanowires is expected to generate an induced gap in the semiconductor. The magnitude of this induced gap, together with the semiconductor properties like the spin-orbit coupling […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Beer | Authors: Catherine L Tooke, Philip Hinchliffe, Michael Beer, Kirill Zinovjev, Charlie K Colenso, Christopher J Schofield, Adrian J Mulholland and James Spencer | Summary: Abstract KPC-2 (Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase-2) is a globally disseminated serine-β-lactamase (SBL) responsible for extensive β-lactam antibiotic resistance in Gram-negative pathogens. SBLs inactivate β-lactams via a mechanism […]
Kavli Affiliate: Karen Christman | Authors: Yifei Liang, Holly Sullivan, Kendal Carrow, Joanna Korpanty, Kendra Worthington, Colin Luo, Karen L Christman and Nathan C Gianneschi | Summary: ABSTRACT Nanoparticles that undergo a localized morphology change to target areas of inflammation have been previously developed but are limited by their lack of biodegradability. In this paper, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang, Vikaas Sohal | Authors: Adam Jackson, Josh Cohen, Aarron Phensy, Edward F Chang, Heather Dawes and Vikaas Sohal | Summary: ABSTRACT Emotional responses arise from limbic circuits including the hippocampus and amygdala. In the human brain, beta-frequency communication between these structures correlates with self-reported mood and anxiety. However, both the mechanism […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gang Su | First 5 Authors: Dai-Wei Qu, Qiaoyi Li, Shou-Shu Gong, Yang Qi, Wei Li | Summary: Recently, robust $d$-wave superconductive (SC) order has been unveiled in the ground state of the 2D $t$-$t’$-$J$ model — with both nearest-neighbor ($t$) and next-nearest-neighbor ($t’$) hoppings — by density matrix renormalization group studies. However, […]
