Palmitoylation regulates neuropilin-2 localization and function in cortical neurons and conveys specificity to semaphorin signaling via palmitoyl acyltransferases

Posted by klaurent Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Kolodkin | Authors: Eleftheria Koropouli, Qiang Wang, Rebeca Mejias-Estevez, Randal Hand, Tao Wang, David D Ginty and Alex L Kolodkin | Summary: ABSTRACT Secreted semaphorin 3F (Sema3F) and semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) exhibit remarkably distinct effects on deep layer excitatory cortical pyramidal neurons; Sema3F mediates dendritic spine pruning, whereas Sema3A promotes the elaboration […]

Observation of Negative Surface and Interface Energies of Quantum Dots

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Alivisatos | First 5 Authors: Jason J. Calvin, Amanda S. Brewer, Michelle F. Crook, Tierni M. Kaufman, A. 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, […]

Emergence of Layer Stacking Disorder in c-axis Confined MoTe$_2$

Posted by klaurent Cornell

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 […]

Interplay of Hidden Orbital Order and Superconductivity in CeCoIn5

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Weijiong Chen, Clara Neerup Breiø, Freek Massee, M. P. Allan, C. Petrovic | Summary: Visualizing atomic-orbital degrees of freedom is a frontier challenge in scanned microscopy. Some types of orbital order are virtually imperceptible to normal scattering techniques because they do not reduce the overall […]

Precise Estimate of Charged Wino Decay Rate

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

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 […]
