Kavli Affiliate: Robert Byer| First 5 Authors: Raktim Abir, Raktim Abir, , , | Summary:We outline the physics opportunities provided by the Electron Ion Collider (EIC). These include the study of the parton structure of the nucleon and nuclei, the onset of gluon saturation, the production of jets and heavy flavor, hadron spectroscopy and tests […]

Ingolia, Wei Wang, Ruixuan Gao and Helen S. Bateup | Summary: Calcium ions serve as key intracellular signals. Local, transient increases in calcium concentrations can activate calcium sensor […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Yu Gu, Huan Yan, Yantong Wang, Mianxiong Dong | Summary: Vital sign (breathing and heartbeat) monitoring is essential for patient care and sleep disease prevention. Most current solutions are based on wearable sensors or cameras; however, the former could affect sleep quality, while the latter […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz Madejski | Summary:We report the first $> 99%$ confidence detection of X-ray polarization in BL Lacertae. During a recent X-ray/$γ$-ray outburst, a 287 ksec observation (2022 November 27-30) was taken using the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (it IXPE), together with contemporaneous multiwavelength observations from the Neil Gehrels it Swift observatory and it […]

Kim | Summary: We report the first $> 99%$ confidence detection of X-ray polarization in BL Lacertae. During a recent X-ray/$gamma$-ray outburst, a 287 ksec observation (2022 November 27-30) was taken using the Imaging X-ray […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lisa Barsotti | Summary:Machine learning has become an effective tool for processing the extensive data sets produced by large physics experiments. Gravitational-wave detectors are now listening to the universe with quantum-enhanced sensitivity, accomplished with the injection of squeezed vacuum states. Squeezed state preparation and injection is operationally complicated, as well as highly sensitive […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naomi Ginsberg | Summary:Since dissipative processes are ubiquitous in semiconductors, characterizing how electronic and thermal energy transduce and transport at the nanoscale is vital for understanding and leveraging their fundamental properties. For example, in low-dimensional transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), excess heat generation upon photoexcitation is difficult to avoid since even with modest injected […]
