Kavli Affiliate: Jeremy Nathans | Authors: Jie Wang, Amir Rattner and Jeremy Nathans | Summary: Bacterial meningitis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, especially among infants and the elderly. Here we study mice to assess the response of each of the major meningeal cell types to early postnatal E. coli infection using single […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Bolei Deng, Jordan R. Raney, Katia Bertoldi, Vincent Tournat, | Summary: Flexible mechanical metamaterials are compliant structures engineered to achieve unique properties via the large deformation of their components. While their static character has been studied extensively, the study of their dynamic properties is still at an […]

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | First 5 Authors: Javier Cembrano, Felix Fischer, Max Klimm, , | Summary: We study mechanisms that select a subset of the vertex set of a directed graph in order to maximize the minimum indegree of any selected vertex, subject to an impartiality constraint that the selection of a particular vertex […]
Kavli Affiliate: Elizabeth Buckley-Geer | Summary:We investigate the ability of human ‘expert’ classifiers to identify strong gravitational lens candidates in Dark Energy Survey like imaging. We recruited a total of 55 people that completed more than 25$%$ of the project. During the classification task, we present to the participants 1489 images. The sample contains a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jill Leutgeb | Authors: Markos Athanasiadis, Stefano Masserini, Li Yuan, Dustin Fetterhoff, Jill K Leutgeb, Stefan Leutgeb and Christian Leibold | Summary: Remembering what just happened is a crucial prerequisite to form long-term memories but also for establishing and maintaining working memory. So far there is no general agreement about cortical mechanisms that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Haipeng An, Xingyao Chen, Shuailiang Ge, Jia Liu, Yan Luo | Summary: Ultralight dark photons and axions are well-motivated hypothetical dark matter candidates. Both dark photon dark matter and axion dark matter can resonantly convert into electromagnetic waves in the solar corona when their mass is equal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nelson Darkwah Oppong| Summary:We introduce a method for quantum simulation of U$(1)$ lattice gauge theories coupled to matter, utilizing alkaline-earth(-like) atoms in state-dependent optical lattices. The proposal enables the study of both gauge and fermionic-matter fields without integrating out one of them in one and two dimensions. We focus on a realistic and […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Harry T. J. Bevins, Stefan Heimersheim, Irene Abril-Cabezas, Anastasia Fialkov, Eloy de Lera Acedo | Summary: The first billion years of cosmic history remains largely unobserved. We demonstrate, using a novel machine learning technique, how combining upper limits on the spatial fluctuations in the 21-cm signal with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Tianxiang Zhao, Dongsheng Luo, Xiang Zhang, Suhang Wang, | Summary: Uncovering rationales behind predictions of graph neural networks (GNNs) has received increasing attention over recent years. Instance-level GNN explanation aims to discover critical input elements, like nodes or edges, that the target GNN relies upon for making […]
