Kavli Affiliate: Michael Beer | Authors: Michael Beer, Ana Sofia F. Oliveira, Catherine L. Tooke, Philip Hinchliffe, Angie Tsz Yan Li, Balazs Balega, James Spencer and Adrian J Mulholland | Summary: β-Lactamases, which hydrolyse β-lactam antibiotics, are key determinants of antibiotic resistance. Predicting the sites and effects of distal mutations in enzymes is challenging. For […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: UnJin Lee, Cong Li, Christopher B Langer, Nicolas Svetec and Li Zhao | Summary: Spermatogenesis is a key developmental process underlying the origination of newly evolved genes. However, rapid cell type-specific transcriptomic divergence of the Drosophila germline has posed a significant technical barrier for comparative single-cell RNA-sequencing (scRNA-Seq) studies. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Avi Shporer | First 5 Authors: Nora L. Eisner, Samuel K. Grunblatt, Oscar Barragán, Thea H. Faridani, Chris Lintott | Summary: We report on the discovery and validation of a transiting long-period mini-Neptune orbiting a bright (V = 9.0 mag) G dwarf (TOI 4633; R = 1.05 RSun, M = 1.10 MSun). The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naomi S. Ginsberg | First 5 Authors: Ahhyun Jeong, Josh Portner, Christian P. N. Tanner, Justin C. Ondry, Chenkun Zhou | Summary: Electrostatically stabilized nanocrystals (NCs) and, in particular, quantum dots (QDs) hold promise for forming strongly coupled superlattices due to their compact and electronically conductive surface ligands. However, studies on the colloidal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Jianyu Zhang, Long Zhang, Yixuan Wu, Feng Yang, | Summary: Formal Methods (FMs) are currently essential for verifying the safety and reliability of software systems. However, the specification writing in formal methods tends to be complex and challenging to learn, requiring familiarity with various intricate formal specification […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Kristopher T. Jensen, Guillaume Hennequin and Marcelo G. Mattar | Summary: When interacting with complex environments, humans can rapidly adapt their behavior to changes in task or context. To facilitate this adaptation, we often spend substantial periods of time contemplating possible futures before acting. For such planning to be […]
Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | First 5 Authors: Umut Demirbozan, Seshadri Nadathur, Ismael Ferrero, Pablo Fosalba, Andras Kovacs | Summary: $ $Low density cosmic voids gravitationally lens the cosmic microwave background (CMB), leaving a negative imprint on the CMB convergence $kappa$. This effect provides insight into the distribution of matter within voids, and can also […]

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Calvin Preston, Alexandra Amon, George Efstathiou, , | Summary: Analyses of cosmic shear typically condense weak lensing information over a range of scales to a single cosmological parameter, $S_8$. This paper presents a method to extract more information from Stage-IV cosmic shear measurements by directly reconstructing the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Bertrand Mennesson, Ruslan Belikov, Emiel Por, Eugene Serabyn, Garreth Ruane | Summary: We summarize the current best polychromatic (10 to 20 % bandwidth) contrast performance demonstrated in the laboratory by different starlight suppression approaches and systems designed to directly characterize exoplanets around nearby stars. We present results […]
