Kavli Affiliate: Ethan Bier | Authors: Leonardo Lima, Mateus Berni, Jamile Mota, Daniel Bressan, Alison Julio, Robson Cavalcante, Vanessa Macias, Zhiqian Li, Jason L. Rasgon, Ethan Bier and Helena Marcolla Araujo | Summary: Rhodnius prolixus is currently the model vector of choice for studying Chagas disease transmission, a debilitating disease caused by Trypanosoma cruzi parasites. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ali Hajimiri | First 5 Authors: Oren S. Mizrahi, Austin Fikes, Alan Truong, Fabian Wiesemüller, Sergio Pellegrino | Summary: Large apertures in space are critical for high-power and high-bandwidth applications spanning wireless power transfer (WPT) and communication, however progress on this front is stunted by the geometric limitations of rocket flight. Here, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Bernhard Lüscher, Frédéric Mila, Natalia Chepiga, , | Summary: We investigate the nature of the phase transitions in the quantum Ashkin-Teller chain in the presence of chiral perturbations. We locate the Lifshitz line separating a region of direct chiral transitions from the region where the transition is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Li Chen, Feng Wang, Yingrui Wang, Peng Huo, Yuqi Li | Summary: Thermal effect is essential to regulate the interfacial instabilities for diverse technology applications. Here we report the fingering instability at the propagation front for a spreading liquid film subjected to the supercooling at the vertical […]

Crawford, The PsychENCODE Consortium, Nadav Ahituv, Alexej Abyzov and Flora M. Vaccarino | Summary: bstract Regulation of gene expression through enhancers is one of the major processes shaping the structure and function of the human […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Chang, Karunesh Ganguly | Authors: NIKHILESH NATRAJ, Sarah Seko, Reza Abiri, Hongyi Yan, Yasmin Graham, Adelyn Tu-Chan, Edward F Chang and Karunesh Ganguly | Summary: The nervous system needs to balance the stability of neural representations with plasticity. It is unclear what is the representational stability of simple actions, particularly those that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Julien Boussard, Charlie Windolf, Cole Hurwitz, Hyun Dong Lee, Han Yu, Olivier Winter and Liam Paninski | Summary: With the advent of high-density, multi-electrode probes, there has been a renewed interest in developing robust and scalable algorithms for spike sorting. Current spike sorting approaches, however, struggle to deal with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Noémie Globus, Anatoli Fedynitch, Roger Blandford, , | Summary: Extreme Energy Cosmic Rays, EECRs — cosmic rays with energies beyond the GZK cutoff (i.e. greater than 100 EeV) are scarce. Only a few of such events have been detected by air shower experiments and the nature of […]
Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Petur Bryde, Ian C. Davenport, L. Mahadevan, , | Summary: Kiiking is an extreme sport in which athletes alternate between standing and squatting to pump a standing swing till it is inverted and completes a rotation. A minimal model of the sport may be cast in terms […]
