Isolation and Lipidomic Profiling of Neuronal Lipid Droplets: Unveiling the Lipid Landscape for insights into Neurodegenerative Disorders

Posted by dbos Rockefeller

Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan | Authors: Mukesh Kumar, Justin Knapp, Kallol Gupta and Timothy A Ryan | Summary: Recent advances have expanded the role of lipid droplets (LDs) beyond passive lipid storage, implicating their involvement in various metabolic processes across mammalian tissues. Neuronal LDs, long debated in existence, have been identified in several neural […]

Photon-Pressure with an Effective Negative Mass Microwave Mode

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Gary Steele | Summary:Harmonic oscillators belong to the most fundamental concepts in physics and are central to many current research fields such as circuit QED, cavity optomechanics and photon-pressure systems. Here, we engineer a microwave mode in a superconducting LC circuit that mimics the dynamics of a negative mass oscillator, and couple it […]

Target Selection and Sample Characterization for the DESI LOW-Z Secondary Target Program

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: Elise Darragh-Ford, John F. Wu, Yao-Yuan Mao, Risa H. Wechsler, Marla Geha | Summary: We introduce the DESI LOW-Z Secondary Target Survey, which combines the wide-area capabilities of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) with an efficient, low-redshift target selection method. Our selection consists of a […]

Cosmic Reionization On Computers: Statistics, Physical Properties and Environment of Lyman Limit Systems at $zsim6$

Posted by Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Jiawen Fan, Hanjue Zhu, Camille Avestruz, Nickolay Y. Gnedin, | Summary: Lyman limit systems (LLSs) are dense hydrogen clouds with high enough HI column densities to absorb Lyman continuum photons emitted from distant quasars. Their high column densities imply an origin in dense environments; however, the […]

Rotational and Dilational Reconstruction in Transition Metal Dichalcogenide Moiré Bilayers

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Archana Raja| Summary:Lattice reconstruction and corresponding strain accumulation play a key role in defining the electronic structure of two-dimensional moiré superlattices, including those of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs). Imaging of TMD moirés has so far provided a qualitative understanding of this relaxation process in terms of interlayer stacking energy, while models of the […]
