ATG9 vesicles comprise the seed membrane of mammalian autophagosomes

Kavli Affiliate: Pietro DeCamilli | Authors: Taryn J. Olivas, Yumei Wu, Shenliang Yu, Lin Luan, Peter Choi, Shanta Nag, Pietro De Camilli, Kallol Gupta and Thomas J. Melia | Summary: Abstract During autophagosome biogenesis, the incorporation of transmembrane proteins into the expanding phagophore is not readily observed. In addition, the membrane surface area of the […]

Super-Resonant Dark Matter

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Csaba Csáki, Andrew Gomes, Yonit Hochberg, Eric Kuflik, Kevin Langhoff | Summary: We introduce Super-Resonant Dark Matter, a model of self-interacting dark matter based on the low energy effective theory of supersymmetric QCD. The structure of the theory ensures a resonant enhancement of the self-interactions of the […]

Compton Telescopes for Gamma-ray Astrophysics

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Carolyn Kierans, Tadayuki Takahashi, Gottfried Kanbach, , | Summary: Compton telescopes rely on the dominant interaction mechanism in the MeV gamma-ray energy range: Compton scattering. By precisely recording the position and energy of multiple Compton scatter interactions in a detector volume, a photon’s original direction and energy […]

The JCMT Transient Survey: Single Epoch Transients and Variability of Faint Sources

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Doug Johnstone, Bhavana Lalchand, Steve Mairs, Hsien Shang, Wen Ping Chen | Summary: Short-duration flares at millimeter wavelengths provide unique insights into the strongest magnetic reconnection events in stellar coronae, and combine with longer-term variability to introduce complications to next-generation cosmology surveys. We analyze 5.5 years […]

Valley-coherent quantum anomalous Hall state in AB-stacked MoTe2/WSe2 bilayers

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zui Tao, Bowen Shen, Shengwei Jiang, Tingxin Li, Lizhong Li | Summary: Moir’e materials provide fertile ground for the correlated and topological quantum phenomena. Among them, the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect, in which the Hall resistance is quantized even under zero magnetic field, is a direct […]

From Prediction to Action: Dissociable Roles of Ventral Tegmental Area and Substantia Nigra Dopamine Neurons in Instrumental Reinforcement

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Janak | Authors: Kurt Michael Fraser, Heather J Pribut, Patricia H Janak and Ronald Keiflin | Summary: Abstract Reward-seeking requires the coordination of motor programs to achieve goals. Midbrain dopamine neurons are critical for reinforcement and their activation is sufficient for learning about cues, actions, and outcomes. Here we examine in detail […]

A General Lattice and Basis Formalism Enabling Efficient and Discretized Exploration of Crystallographic Phase Space

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin Persson | First 5 Authors: David Mrdjenovich, Kristin Persson, , , | Summary: Three-dimensional lattices are fundamental to solid-state physics. The description of a lattice with an atomic basis constitutes the necessary information to predict solid phase properties and evolution. Here, we present a new algorithm for systematically exploring crystallographic phase space. […]

Understanding the effects of charge diffusion in next-generation soft X-ray imagers

Kavli Affiliate: Marshall W. Bautz | First 5 Authors: Eric D. Miller, Gregory Y. Prigozhin, Beverly J. LaMarr, Marshall W. Bautz, Richard F. Foster | Summary: To take advantage of high-resolution optics sensitive to a broad energy range, future X-ray imaging instruments will require thick detectors with small pixels. This pixel aspect ratio affects spectral […]
