Rydberg Excitons and Trions in Monolayer MoTe$_2$

Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Souvik Biswas, Aurélie Champagne, Jonah B. Haber, Supavit Pokawanvit, Joeson Wong | Summary: Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenide (TMDC) semiconductors exhibit strong excitonic optical resonances which serve as a microscopic, non-invasive probe into their fundamental properties. Like the hydrogen atom, such excitons can exhibit an entire Rydberg […]

Standing genetic variation and chromosome differences drove rapid ecotype formation in a major malaria vector

Kavli Affiliate: Scott Small | Authors: Scott T Small, Carlo Costantini, N’Fale Sagnon, Moussa W Guelbeogo, Scott J Emrich, Andrew D Kern, Michael C Fontaine and Nora J Besansky | Summary: Abstract Local adaptation results in the formation of ecotypes–conspecific groups with heritable differences that increase fitness to distinct environments. The adaptive significance of ecotypes […]

Semantic-Guided Generative Image Augmentation Method with Diffusion Models for Image Classification

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Bohan Li, Xiao Xu, Xinghao Wang, Yutai Hou, Yunlong Feng | Summary: Existing image augmentation methods consist of two categories: perturbation-based methods and generative methods. Perturbation-based methods apply pre-defined perturbations to augment an original image, but only locally vary the image, thus lacking image diversity. In contrast, […]
