Collective phototactic robotectonics

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Fabio Giardina, S Ganga Prasath, L Mahadevan, , | Summary: Cooperative task execution, a hallmark of eusociality, is enabled by local interactions between the agents and the environment through a dynamically evolving communication signal. Inspired by the collective behavior of social insects whose dynamics is modulated by […]

Biases to primordial non-Gaussianity measurements from CMB secondary anisotropies

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: William Coulton, Alexander Miranthis, Anthony Challinor, , | Summary: Our view of the last-scattering surface in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is obscured by secondary anisotropies, sourced by scattering, extragalactic emission and gravitational processes between recombination and observation. Whilst it is established that non-Gaussianity from the correlation […]

Norepinephrine enhances oligodendrocyte precursor cell calcium dynamics in the cerebral cortex during arousal

Kavli Affiliate: Dwight Bergles | Authors: Tsai-Yi Lu, Priyanka Hanumaihgari, Eric T Hsu, Amit Agarwal and Dwight E Bergles | Summary: Abstract Oligodendrocytes are generated from a widely distributed population of progenitors that express neurotransmitter receptors, but the mechanisms that alter activity of these oligodendrocyte precursor cells (OPCs) in vivo have not been determined. We […]

Single cell transcriptomic profiling of human brain organoids reveals developmental timing- and cell-type-specific vulnerabilities induced by NRXN1 CNVs in schizophrenia

Kavli Affiliate: Jin Kang | Authors: ChangHui Pak, Rebecca Sebastian, Kang Jin, Narciso Pavon, Ruby Bansal, Andrew Potter, Yoonjae Song, Juliana Babu, Rafael Gabriel, Yubing Sun and Bruce J Aronow | Summary: Abstract De novo mutations and copy number variations (CNVs) in NRXN1 (2p16.3) pose a significant risk for schizophrenia (SCZ). How NRXN1 CNVs impact […]

Simultaneous bounds on the gravitational dipole radiation and varying gravitational constant from compact binary inspirals

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Ziming Wang, Junjie Zhao, Zihe An, Lijing Shao, Zhoujian Cao | Summary: Compact binaries are an important class of gravitational-wave (GW) sources that can be detected by current and future GW observatories. They provide a testbed for general relativity (GR) in the highly dynamical strong-field regime. Here, […]

Variability Catalog of Stars Observed During the TESS Prime Mission

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Tara Fetherolf, Joshua Pepper, Emilie Simpson, Stephen R. Kane, Teo Mocnik | Summary: During its 2-year Prime Mission, TESS observed over 232,000 stars at a 2-min cadence across ~70% of the sky. These data provide a record of photometric variability across a range of astrophysically interesting time […]

Decoding Measurement-Prepared Quantum Phases and Transitions: from Ising model to gauge theory, and beyond

Kavli Affiliate: Matthew P. A. Fisher | First 5 Authors: Jong Yeon Lee, Wenjie Ji, Zhen Bi, Matthew P. A. Fisher, | Summary: Measurements allow efficient preparation of interesting quantum many-body states with long-range entanglement, conditioned on additional transformations based on measurement outcomes. Here, we demonstrate that the so-called conformal quantum critical points (CQCP) can […]
