Kavli Affiliate: Lars Bildsten | First 5 Authors: Tin Long Sunny Wong, Lars Bildsten, , , | Summary: RCB stars are $Lapprox10^4,L_{odot}$ solar-mass objects that can exhibit large periods of extinction from dust ejection episodes. Many exhibit semiregular pulsations in the range of $30-50$ days with semi-amplitudes of $0.05-0.3$ magnitude. Space-based photometry has discovered that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kira Poskanzer | Authors: Michelle K. Cahill, Yeraldith Rojas Perez, Amara Larpthaveesarp, Roberto Etchenique and Kira E Poskanzer | Summary: Norepinephrine (NE) is a critical neuromodulator that mediates a wide range of behavior and neurophysiology, including attention, arousal, plasticity, and memory consolidation. A major source of NE is the brainstem nucleus the locus […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Bethany Davies, Álvaro G. Iñesta, Stephanie Wehner, , | Summary: Quantum networks crucially rely on the availability of high-quality entangled pairs of qubits, known as entangled links, distributed across distant nodes. Maintaining the quality of these links is a challenging task due to the presence of time-dependent […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Sabrina Ammann, Maximilian Hess, Debora Ramacciotti, Sándor P. Fekete, Paulina L. A. Goedicke | Summary: In recent years, strong expectations have been raised for the possible power of quantum computing for solving difficult optimization problems, based on theoretical, asymptotic worst-case bounds. Can we expect this to have […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Eric Sihite, Alireza Ramezani, Morteza Gharib, , | Summary: Robot designs can take many inspirations from nature, where there are many examples of highly resilient and fault-tolerant locomotion strategies to navigate complex terrains by using multi-functional appendages. For example, Chukar and Hoatzin birds can repurpose their wings […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Francesco D’Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Stefano Carniani, Emma Curtis-Lake, Joris Witstok | Summary: Finding the emergence of the first generation of metals in the early Universe, and identifying their origin, are some of the most important goals of modern astrophysics. We present deep JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy of GS-z12, a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Marc Vila, Joel E. Moore, , , | Summary: The interconversion between charge and spin degrees of freedom is of both fundamental and technological relevance in spintronics. While a non-equilibrium spin density and a charge current are related by the well known Rashba-Edelstein effect, here we […]
