Multi-dimensional wavefront sensing using volumetric meta-optics

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Conner Ballew, Gregory Roberts, Andrei Faraon, , | Summary: The ideal imaging system would efficiently capture information about all fundamental properties light: intensity, direction, wavelength, and polarization. Most common imaging systems only map the spatial degrees of freedom of light onto a two dimensional image sensor, with […]

Connecting cooperative transport by ants with the physics of self-propelled particles

Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Tabea Heckenthaler, Tobias Holder, Ariel Amir, Ofer Feinerman, Ehud Fonio | Summary: Paratrechina longicornis ants are known for their ability to cooperatively transport large food items. Previous studies have focused on the behavioral rules of individual ants and explained the efficient coordination using the coupled-carrier model. In […]

Connecting cooperative transport by ants with the physics of active swimmers

Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Tabea Heckenthaler, Tobias Holder, Ariel Amir, Ofer Feinerman, Ehud Fonio | Summary: Some ant species are known as efficient transporters that can cooperatively carry food items which would be too large for a single ant. Previous studies of cooperative transport focused on the role of individual ants […]

Cosmic Web Dissection in Fuzzy Dark Matter Cosmologies

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Tibor Dome, Anastasia Fialkov, Nina Sartorio, Philip Mocz, | Summary: On large cosmological scales, anisotropic gravitational collapse is manifest in the dark cosmic web. Its statistical properties are little known for alternative dark matter models such as fuzzy dark matter (FDM). In this work, we assess for […]
