Photoevaporation from Inner Protoplanetary Disks Confronted with Observations

Kavli Affiliate: Lile Wang | First 5 Authors: Yiren Lin, Lile Wang, Min Fang, Ahmad Nemer, Jeremy Goodman | Summary: The decades-long explorations on the dispersal of protoplanetary disks involve many debates about photoevaporation versus magnetized wind launching mechanisms. This letter argues that the observed winds originating from the inner disk ($Rlesssim 0.3$ AU) cannot […]

Wireless Power Transfer in Space using Flexible, Lightweight, Coherent Arrays

Kavli Affiliate: Ali Hajimiri | First 5 Authors: Alex Ayling, Austin Fikes, Oren S. Mizrahi, Ailec Wu, Raha Riazati | Summary: Space solar power (SSP), envisioned for decades as a solution for continuous, stable, and dynamically dispatchable clean energy, has seen tremendous interest and a number of experimental demonstrations in the last few years. A […]

FBM: Freestanding bilayer microscope for single-molecule imaging of membrane proteins

Kavli Affiliate: Roderick MacKinnon | Authors: Gonzalo PĂ©rez-Mitta, Yeliz Sezgin, Weiwei Wang and Roderick MacKinnon | Summary: Abstract Integral membrane proteins (IMPs) constitute a large fraction of organismal proteomes, playing fundamental roles in physiology and disease. Despite their importance, the mechanisms underlying dynamic features of IMPs, such as anomalous diffusion, protein-protein interactions, and protein clustering, […]
