Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Zexuan Wu, Subo Dong, Tuan Yi, Zhuokai Liu, Kareem El-Badry | Summary: We report discovering an exoplanet from following up a microlensing event alerted by Gaia. The event Gaia22dkv is toward a nearby disk source at ~2.5 kpc rather than the traditional bulge microlensing fields. Our primary […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sander Otte | First 5 Authors: Lukas M. Veldman, Evert W. Stolte, Mark P. Canavan, Rik Broekhoven, Philip Willke | Summary: The nuclear spin, being much more isolated from the environment than its electronic counterpart, enables quantum experiments with prolonged coherence times and presents a gateway towards uncovering the intricate dynamics within an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Marcel Meyer, Corentin Déprez, Ilja N. Meijer, Florian K. Unseld, Saurabh Karwal | Summary: The small footprint of semiconductor qubits is favourable for scalable quantum computing. However, their size also makes them sensitive to their local environment and variations in gate structure. Currently, each device requires tailored […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Hongzhi Qi, Qing Zhao, Changwei Song, Wei Zhai, Dan Luo | Summary: In the realm of social media, users frequently convey personal sentiments, with some potentially indicating cognitive distortions or suicidal tendencies. Timely recognition of such signs is pivotal for effective interventions. In response, we introduce two […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Hongzhi Qi, Qing Zhao, Changwei Song, Wei Zhai, Dan Luo | Summary: Large language models, particularly those akin to the rapidly progressing GPT series, are gaining traction for their expansive influence. While there is keen interest in their applicability within medical domains such as psychology, tangible explorations […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alipasha Vaziri, Jeffrey M. Friedman | Authors: Bowen Tan, Caleb J Browne, Tobias Nobauer, Alipasha Vaziri, Jeffrey M. Friedman and Eric J. Nestler | Summary: Addiction prioritizes drug use over innate needs by hijacking brain circuits that direct motivation, but how this develops remains unclear. Using whole-brain FOS mapping and in vivo single-neuron […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Jamil Mahmud, Brittany W Geiler, Juthi Biswas, Michael J Miller, Julia E Myers, Stephen M Matthews, Amanda B Wass, Christine M O’Connor and Gary C Chan | Summary: Establishing a non-productive quiescent/silent infection within monocytes is essential for spread of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV). Yet, how HCMV establishes a quiescent […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Berke | Authors: Thomas Faust, Ali Mohebi and Joshua D Berke | Summary: The nucleus accumbens (NAc) helps govern motivation to pursue rewards. Two distinct sets of NAc projection neurons – expressing dopamine D1 versus D2 receptors – are thought to promote and suppress motivated behaviors respectively. However, support for this conceptual […]
Kavli Affiliate: Keri Martinowich | Authors: Lukas M Weber, Heena R Divecha, Matthew N Tran, Sang Ho Kwon, Abby Spangler, Kelsey D Montgomery, Madhavi Tippani, Rahul Bharadwaj, Joel E Kleinman, Stephanie C Page, Thomas M Hyde, Leonardo Collado-Torres, Kristen R Maynard, Keri Martinowich and Stephanie C Hicks | Summary: Norepinephrine (NE) neurons in the locus […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Michael E Miller, Susan Sidell and Elizabeth A Ostrowski | Summary: Cooperative groups are susceptible to invasion by cheaters that reap the benefits but fail to pay the costs. Both theory and experimental work have shown that cheating can select for counter-adaptations to resist cheating. But then why is […]
