Kavli Affiliate: Jin Kang | Authors: Dapeng Xiong, Junfei Zhao, Yunguang Qiu, Yadi Zhou, Dongjin Lee, Shobhita Gupta, Weiqiang Lu, Siqi Liang, Jin Joo Kang, Charis Eng, Joseph Loscalzo, Feixiong Cheng and Haiyuan Yu | Summary: Human genome sequencing studies have identified numerous loci associated with complex diseases. However, translating human genetic and genomic findings […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhigang Suo | First 5 Authors: Manyuan Tao, Shawn Lavoie, Zhigang Suo, Maria K. Cameron, | Summary: A polymer network fractures by breaking covalent bonds, but the experimentally measured strength of the polymer network is orders of magnitude lower than the strength of covalent bonds. We investigate the effect of statistical variation of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | First 5 Authors: Ajay Ratheesh, Michal Dovčiak, Henric Krawczynski, Jakub Podgorný, Lorenzo Marra | Summary: Large energy-dependent X-ray polarization degree is detected by the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer ({IXPE}) in the high-soft emission state of the black hole X-ray binary 4U 1630–47. The highly significant detection (at $approx50sigma$ confidence level) […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Romani | First 5 Authors: Ajay Ratheesh, Michal Dovčiak, Henric Krawczynski, Jakub Podgorný, Lorenzo Marra | Summary: Large, energy-dependent X-ray polarisation is observed in 4U 1630-47, a black hole in an X-ray binary, in the high-soft emission state. In this state, X-ray emission is believed to be dominated by a thermal, geometrically […]
