Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Midya Parto, Christian Leefmans, James Williams, Franco Nori, Alireza Marandi | Summary: Topology is central to phenomena that arise in a variety of fields, ranging from quantum field theory to quantum information science to condensed matter physics. Recently, the study of topology has been extended to open […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Lindsey E. Lopes, Erik T. Frank, Zsolt Kárpáti, Thomas Schmitt and Daniel J.C. Kronauer | Summary: Abstract Ants communicate via an arsenal of different pheromones produced in a variety of exocrine glands. For example, ants release alarm pheromones in response to danger to alert their nestmates and to trigger […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Witter, Asgeir Kobro-Flatmoen | Authors: Katrine Sjaastad Hanssen, Menno P. Witter, Axel Sandvig, Ioanna Sandvig and Asgeir Kobro-Flatmoen | Summary: Abstract Background Primary neuronal cultures enable cell-biological studies of Alzheimer’s disease (AD), albeit typically non-neuron-specific. The first cortical neurons affected in AD reside in layer II of the lateralmost part of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Minor | Authors: Daniel L Minor, Jr., Zhou Chen and Abhisek Mondal | Summary: Abstract Gabapentinoid drugs for pain and anxiety act on the CaVα2δ-1 and CaVα2δ-2 subunits of high-voltage activated calcium channels (CaV1s and CaV2s). Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of the gabapentin-bound brain and cardiac CaV1.2/CaVβ3/CaVα2δ-1 channel. The data […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel Moore | First 5 Authors: Changmin Lee, Yue Sun, Linda Ye, Sumedh Rathi, Kevin Wang | Summary: The propagation of spin waves in magnetically ordered systems has emerged as a potential means to shuttle quantum information over large distances. Conventionally, the arrival time of a spin wavepacket at a distance, $d$, is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wen-Hao Bian, Xiao-Zhuo Chu, Jing Wang, , | Summary: We study the interplay between fermion-fermion interactions and disorder scatterings beneath the superconducting dome of noncentrosymmetric nodal-line superconductors. With the application of renormalization group, several interesting low-energy behaviors are extracted from the coupled equations of all interaction parameters. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Alberto Bordin, Guanzhong Wang, Chun-Xiao Liu, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf, Grzegorz P. Mazur | Summary: A short superconducting segment can couple attached quantum dots via elastic co-tunneling (ECT) and crossed Andreev reflection (CAR). Such coupled quantum dots can host Majorana bound states provided that the ratio […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Chun-Ju Wu, Daniel Riedel, Andrei Ruskuc, Ding Zhong, Hyounghan Kwon | Summary: $^{171}$Yb$^{3+}$ in YVO$_4$ is a promising candidate for building quantum networks with good optical addressability, excellent spin properties and a secondary nuclear-spin quantum register. However, the associated long optical lifetime necessitates coupling to optical resonators […]
