Mammalian D-Cysteine controls insulin secretion in the pancreas

Kavli Affiliate: Solomon Snyder | Authors: Robin Roychaudhuri, Timothy West, Soumyaroop Bhattacharya, Harry Saavedra, Lauren Albacarys, Moataz M Gadalla, Leon Mario Amzel, Peixin Yang and Solomon H. Snyder | Summary: D-amino acids are being recognized in mammals as important molecules with function. This is a first identification of endogenous D-cysteine in mammalian pancreas. D-cysteine is […]

The Non-Relativistic Effective Field Theory Of Dark Matter-Electron Interactions

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Gordan Krnjaic, Duncan Rocha, Tanner Trickle, , | Summary: Electronic excitations in atomic, molecular, and crystal targets are at the forefront of the ongoing search for light, sub-GeV dark matter (DM). In many light DM-electron interactions the energy and momentum deposited is much smaller than the electron […]

Correlated Topological Mixed-Valence Insulators in Moiré Hetero-Bilayers

Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Juan Felipe Mendez-Valderrama, Sunghoon Kim, Debanjan Chowdhury, , | Summary: Moir’e transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) materials provide an ideal playground for studying the combined interplay of strong interactions and band-topology over a range of electronic fillings. Here we investigate the panoply of interaction-induced electronic phases that arise […]

Universal scaling solution for a rigidity transition: renormalization group flows near the upper critical dimension

Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Stephen J. Thornton, Danilo B. Liarte, Itai Cohen, James P. Sethna, | Summary: Rigidity transitions induced by the formation of system-spanning disordered rigid clusters, like the jamming transition, can be well-described in most physically relevant dimensions by mean-field theories. A dynamical mean-field theory commonly used to study […]

Sethna, | Summary: Rigidity transitions induced by the formation of system-spanning disordered rigid clusters, like the jamming transition, can be well-described in most physically relevant dimensions by mean-field theories. However, we lack a theoretical description of these […]

Towards a universal analytical model for Population III star formation: interplay between feedback and fragmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Boyuan Liu, James Gurian, Kohei Inayoshi, Shingo Hirano, Takashi Hosokawa | Summary: JWST has brought us new insights into Cosmic Dawn with tentative detection of the unique signatures of metal-free Population III (Pop III) stars, such as strong HeII emission, extremely blue UV spectrum, and enhanced nitrogen […]
