Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Lihang Zhou, Richard Brito, Zhan-Feng Mai, Lijing Shao, | Summary: Superradiantly unstable ultralight particles around a classical rotating black hole (BH) can form an exponentially growing bosonic cloud, which have been shown to provide an astrophysical probe to detect ultralight particles and constrain their mass. However, the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Eli Yablonovitch | First 5 Authors: Zhetao Jia, Wayesh Qarony, Jagang Park, Sean Hooten, Difan Wen | Summary: Inverse design is a powerful tool in wave-physics and in particular in photonics for compact, high-performance devices. To date, applications have mostly been limited to linear systems and it has rarely been investigated or demonstrated […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Jonah B. Haber, Diana Y. Qiu, Felipe H. da Jornada, Jeffrey B. Neaton, | Summary: We introduce a maximally-localized Wannier function representation of Bloch excitons, two-particle correlated electron-hole excitations, in crystalline solids, where the excitons are maximally-localized with respect to an average electron-hole coordinate in real […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alex Kolodkin | Authors: James Kenneth Kiraly, Scott C Harris, Timour Al-Khindi, Felice Dunn and Alex L Kolodkin | Summary: The study of murine behavioral responses to visual stimuli is a key component of understanding mammalian visual circuitry. One notable response is the optokinetic reflex (OKR), a highly conserved innate behavior necessary for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Huganir | Authors: Yoichi Araki, Kacey E Rajkovich, Elizabeth E Gerber, Timothy R Gamache, Richard C Johnson, Thanh Hai Tran, Bian Liu, Ingie Hong, Alfredo Kirkwood and Richard L Huganir | Summary: SynGAP is an abundant synaptic GTPase-activating protein (GAP) critical for synaptic plasticity, learning, memory, and cognition. Mutations in SYNGAP1 in […]
