Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline Gottlieb | Authors: Michael Cohanpour, Mariam Aly and Jacqueline Gottlieb | Summary: Humans are immensely curious and motivated to reduce uncertainty. Inspired by studies of sensory uncertainty, we hypothesized that visual areas provide multivariate representations of uncertainty, which are read out by higher-order areas that encode confidence and, ultimately, translated into curiosity. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Saul Rappaport, Tin Long Sunny Wong, Evan B. Bauer | Summary: We report the discovery of ZTF J0127+5258, a compact mass-transferring binary with an orbital period of 13.7 minutes. The system contains a white dwarf accretor, which likely originated as a post-common […]

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Eric J. Michaud, Ziming Liu, Uzay Girit, Max Tegmark, | Summary: We propose the Quantization Model of neural scaling laws, explaining both the observed power law dropoff of loss with model and data size, and also the sudden emergence of new capabilities with scale. We derive this […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yong Gao, Lijing Shao, Jan Steinhoff, , | Summary: Universal relations that are insensitive to the equation of state (EoS) are useful in reducing the parameter space when measuring global quantities of neutron stars (NSs). In this paper, we reveal a new universal relation that connects the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Sheng Wang, Yi Zhou, , , | Summary: In the paper by Klainerman, Rodnianski and Tao cite{Klainerman-Rodnianski-Tao}, they give a physical space proof to a classical result of Klainerman and Machedon cite{Klainerman-Machedon} for the bilinear space-time estimates of null forms. In this paper, we shall give an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zui Tao, Bowen Shen, Wenjin Zhao, Nai Chao Hu, Tingxin Li | Summary: The spin Hall effect (SHE), in which electrical current generates transverse spin current, plays an important role in spintronics for the generation and manipulation of spin-polarized electrons. The phenomenon originates from spin-orbit coupling. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Xiaowei Ou, Anna-Christina Eilers, Lina Necib, Anna Frebel, | Summary: In this paper, we construct the circular velocity curve of the Milky Way out to $sim 30$ kpc, providing an updated model of the dark matter density profile. We derive precise parallaxes for 120,309 stars with a […]
