Finemap-MiXeR: A variational Bayesian approach for genetic finemapping

Kavli Affiliate: Anders Dale | Authors: Bayram Cevdet Akdeniz, Oleksandr Frei, Alexey Shadrin, Dmitry Vetrov, Dmitry Kropotov, Anders Dale, Eivind Hovig and Ole Andreassen | Summary: Abstract Discoveries from genome-wide association studies often contain large clusters of highly correlated genetic variants, which makes them hard to interpret. In such cases, finemapping the underlying causal variants […]

Nanomechanical absorption spectroscopy of 2D materials with femtowatt sensitivity

Kavli Affiliate: Herre Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Jan N. Kirchhof, Yuefeng Yu, Denis Yagodkin, Nele Stetzuhn, Daniel B. de Araújo | Summary: Nanomechanical spectroscopy (NMS) is a recently developed approach to determine optical absorption spectra of nanoscale materials via mechanical measurements. It is based on measuring changes in the resonance frequency of […]

Hubble Constant Measurement from Three Large-Separation Quasars Strongly Lensed by Galaxy Clusters

Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Kate Napier, Keren Sharon, Håkon Dahle, Matthew Bayliss, Michael D. Gladders | Summary: Tension between cosmic microwave background-based and distance ladder-based determinations of the Hubble constant ${rm H}_{rm 0}$ motivates pursuit of independent methods that are not subject to the same systematic effects. A promising alternative, […]

Surface acoustic wave resonators on thin film piezoelectric substrates in the quantum regime

Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Thomas Luschmann, Alexander Jung, Stephan Geprägs, Franz X. Haslbeck, Achim Marx | Summary: Lithium niobate (LNO) is a well established material for surface acoustic wave (SAW) devices including resonators, delay lines and filters. Recently, multi-layer substrates based on LNO thin films have become commercially available. Here, we […]

Soliton pulse pairs at multiple colors in normal dispersion microresonators

Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | First 5 Authors: Zhiquan Yuan, Maodong Gao, Yan Yu, Heming Wang, Warren Jin | Summary: Soliton microcombs are helping to advance the miniaturization of a range of comb systems. These combs mode lock through the formation of short temporal pulses in anomalous dispersion resonators. Here, a new microcomb is demonstrated […]
