Fluctuations in Spin Dynamics Excited by Pulsed Light

Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Tetsuya Sato, Shinichi Watanabe, Mamoru Matsuo, Takeo Kato, | Summary: We theoretically investigate nonequilibrium spin fluctuations in a ferromagnet induced by a light pulse. Using a Lindblad equation consistent with the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, we compute the autocorrelation function of magnetization. Our analysis reveals that this function comprises […]

Single-shot volumetric fluorescence imaging with neural fields

Kavli Affiliate: Changhuei Yang | First 5 Authors: Oumeng Zhang, Haowen Zhou, Brandon Y. Feng, Elin M. Larsson, Reinaldo E. Alcalde | Summary: Single-shot volumetric fluorescence (SVF) imaging offers a significant advantage over traditional imaging methods that require scanning across multiple axial planes as it can capture biological processes with high temporal resolution across a […]

Left-right-alternating theta sweeps in the entorhinal-hippocampal spatial map

Kavli Affiliate: Edvard Moser and May-Britt Moser | Authors: Abraham Z. Vollan, Richard J. Gardner, May-Britt Moser and Edvard I. Moser | Summary: Place cells in the hippocampus and grid cells in the entorhinal cortex are elements of a neural map of self- position. To benefit navigation, this representation must be dynamically related to surrounding […]

Wide Binary Orbits are Preferentially Aligned with the Orbits of Small Planets, but Probably Not Hot Jupiters

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Sam Christian, Andrew Vanderburg, Juliette Becker, Adam L. Kraus, Logan Pearce | Summary: Studying the relative orientations of the orbits of exoplanets and wide-orbiting binary companions (semimajor axis greater than 100 AU) can shed light on how planets form and evolve in binary systems. Previous observations by […]

Supermassive black hole formation from Affleck-Dine mechanism with suppressed clustering on large scales

Kavli Affiliate: Masahiro Kawasaki | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Kasai, Masahiro Kawasaki, Kai Murai, Shunsuke Neda, | Summary: We study a primordial black hole (PBH) formation model based on the framework of the inhomogeneous Affleck-Dine (AD) mechanism, which can explain the seeds of supermassive black holes (SMBHs). This model, however, predicts strong clustering of SMBHs […]

Transcriptional Control of Neocortical Size and Microcephaly

Kavli Affiliate: Kristina Nielsen Loyal Goff | Authors: Soraia Barao, Yijun Xu, Rachel Vistein, Loyal Goff, Kristina Nielsen, Byoung-Il Bae, Richard S. Smith, Christopher A Walsh, Genevieve Stein O Brien and Ulrich Muller | Summary: The mammalian neocortex differs vastly in size and complexity between mammalian species, yet the mechanisms that lead to an increase […]

Synchronization of E. coli bacteria moving in coupled wells

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Aleksandre Japaridze, Victor Struijk, Kushal Swamy, Irek Roslon, Oriel Shoshani | Summary: Synchronization plays a crucial role in the dynamics of living organisms, from fireflies flashing in unison to pacemaker cells that jointly generate heartbeats. Uncovering the mechanism behind these phenomena requires an understanding of individual biological […]

Feature-based Federated Transfer Learning: Communication Efficiency, Robustness and Privacy

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, M. Cenk Gursoy, Senem Velipasalar, , | Summary: In this paper, we propose feature-based federated transfer learning as a novel approach to improve communication efficiency by reducing the uplink payload by multiple orders of magnitude compared to that of existing approaches in federated learning and […]
