The Simons Observatory: Combining cross-spectral foreground cleaning with multitracer $B$-mode delensing for improved constraints on inflation

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | Summary:The Simons Observatory (SO), due to start full science operations in early 2025, aims to set tight constraints on inflationary physics by inferring the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ from measurements of CMB polarization $B$-modes. Its nominal design targets a precision $σ(r=0) leq 0.003$ without delensing. Achieving this goal and further reducing […]

Excitation-Dependent Features and Artifacts in 2-D Terahertz Spectroscopy

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Ankit Disa | Summary:Recently, two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (2DTS) has attracted increasing attention for studying complex solids. A number of recent studies have applied 2DTS either with long pulses or away from any material resonances, situations that yield unconventional 2DTS spectra that are often difficult to interpret. Here, we clarify the generic origins of […]

Coordination and persistence of aggressive visual communication in Siamese fighting fish

Posted by dbos Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Claire P. Everett, Amy L. Norovich, Jessica E. Burke, Matthew R Whiteway, Pei-Yin Shih, Yuyang Zhu, Liam Paninski and Andres Bendesky | Summary: Animals coordinate their behavior with each other during both cooperative and agonistic social interactions. Such coordination often adopts the form of “turn taking”, in which the […]

Distinct anatomical and functional corticospinal inputs innervate different spinal neuron types

Posted by dbos Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Liam Paninski | Authors: Samaher Fageiry, Claire L Warriner, Jackson Loper, Liam Paninski, Thomas Reardon, Thomas M. Jessell, Rui M. Costa and Andrew Miri | Summary: The corticospinal tract exerts its influence on movement through spinal neurons, which can be divided into types that exhibit distinct functions. However, it remains unknown whether these […]

Electronic and Optical Excitations in van der Waals Materials from a Non-Empirical Wannier-Localized Optimally-Tuned Screened Range-Separated Hybrid Functional

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: María Camarasa-Gómez, Stephen E. Gant, Guy Ohad, Jeffrey B. Neaton, Ashwin Ramasubramanian | Summary: Accurate prediction of electronic and optical excitations in van der Waals (vdW) materials is a long-standing challenge for density functional theory. The recently proposed Wannier-localized optimally-tuned screened range-separated hybrid (WOT-SRSH) functional has […]
