PhaBOX: A web server for identifying and characterizing phage contigs in metagenomic data

Posted by klaurent UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Jiayu Shang, Cheng Peng, Herui Liao, Xubo Tang, Yanni Sun | Summary: Motivation: There is accumulating evidence showing the important roles of bacteriophages (phages) in regulating the structure and functions of the microbiome. However, lacking an easy-to-use and integrated phage analysis software hampers microbiome-related research from incorporating […]

A diffuse scattering model of ultracold neutrons on wavy surfaces

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: S. Imajo, H. Akatsuka, K. Hatanaka, T. Higuchi, G. Ichikawa | Summary: Metal tubes plated with nickel-phosphorus are used in many fundamental physics experiments using ultracold neutrons (UCN) because of their ease of fabrication. These tubes are usually polished to a average roughness of 25-150 nm. However, […]

Visualizing the atomic-scale origin of metallic behavior in Kondo insulators

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Harris Pirie, Eric Mascot, Christian E. Matt, Yu Liu, Pengcheng Chen | Summary: A Kondo lattice is often electrically insulating at low temperatures. However, several recent experiments have detected signatures of bulk metallicity within this Kondo insulating phase. Here we visualize the real-space charge landscape […]

Constraint on Early Dark Energy from Isotropic Cosmic Birefringence

Posted by dbos Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Johannes R. Eskilt, Laura Herold, Eiichiro Komatsu, Kai Murai, Toshiya Namikawa | Summary: Polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) is sensitive to new physics violating parity symmetry, such as the presence of a pseudoscalar "axionlike" field. Such a field may be responsible for early dark energy […]

Three Saturn-mass planets transiting F-type stars revealed with TESS and HARPS

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Gabor Furesz | First 5 Authors: Angelica Psaridi, François Bouchy, Monika Lendl, Babatunde Akinsanmi, Keivan G. Stassun | Summary: While the sample of confirmed exoplanets continues to increase, the population of transiting exoplanets around early-type stars is still limited. These planets allow us to investigate the planet properties and formation pathways over a […]

Non-planar snake gaits: from Stigmatic-starts to Sidewinding

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: N. Charles, R. Chelakkot, M. Gazzola, B. Young, L. Mahadevan | Summary: Of the vast variety of animal gaits, one of the most striking is the non-planar undulating motion of a sidewinder. But non-planar gaits are not limited to sidewinders. Here we report a new non-planar mode […]
