AuNR-SMA: Automated Gold Nanorod Spectral Morphology Analysis Pipeline

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Alivisatos | Summary:The development of a colloidal synthesis procedure to produce nanomaterials of a specific size with high shape and size purity is often a time consuming, iterative process. This is often due to the time, resource and expertise intensive characterization methods required for quantitative determination of nanomaterial size and shape. Absorption […]

The white-light superflares from cool stars in GWAC triggers

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Guang-Wei Li, Liang Wang, Hai-Long Yuan, Li-Ping Xin, Jing Wang | Summary: M-type stars are the ones that flare most frequently, but how big their maximum flare energy can reach is still unknown. We present 163 flares from 162 individual M2 through L1-type stars that triggered the […]

Light Dark Matter Constraints from SuperCDMS HVeV Detectors Operated Underground with an Anticoincidence Event Selection

Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane | Summary:This article presents constraints on dark-matter-electron interactions obtained from the first underground data-taking campaign with multiple SuperCDMS HVeV detectors operated in the same housing. An exposure of 7.63 g-days is used to set upper limits on the dark-matter-electron scattering cross section for dark matter masses between 0.5 and 1000 […]

Mobius Assembly for Plant Systems uncovers combinatorial interactions among promoters, coding sequences, and terminators in gene regulation

Kavli Affiliate: Andreas Andreou | Authors: Elif Gediz Kocaoglan, Andreas Andreou, Jessica Nirkko, Marisol Ochoa-Villarreal, Gary Loake and Naomi Nakayama | Summary: Plants are the primary biological platforms for producing food, energy, and materials in agriculture; however, they are largely untouched by synthetic biology-driven transformation in bioproduction technologies. Molecular tools for complex, multigene engineering are […]

CHIME/FRB/Pulsar discovery of a nearby long period radio transient with a timing glitch

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Fengqiu Adam Dong, Fengqiu Adam Dong, , , | Summary: We present the discovery of a 421 s long period radio transient (LPT) using the CHIME telescope, CHIME J0630+25. The source is localized to RA=06:30:38.4$pm1’$ Dec=25:26:24$pm1’$ using voltage data acquired with the CHIME baseband system. A […]

The discovery of a nearby 421~s transient with CHIME/FRB/Pulsar

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Fengqiu Adam Dong, Tracy Clarke, Alice P. Curtin, Ajay Kumar, Ingrid Stairs | Summary: Neutron stars and white dwarfs are both dense remnants of post-main-sequence stars. Pulsars, magnetars and strongly magnetised white dwarfs have all been seen to been observed to exhibit coherent, pulsed radio emission […]

Event-Aided Time-to-Collision Estimation for Autonomous Driving

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Jinghang Li, Bangyan Liao, Xiuyuan LU, Peidong Liu, Shaojie Shen | Summary: Predicting a potential collision with leading vehicles is an essential functionality of any autonomous/assisted driving system. One bottleneck of existing vision-based solutions is that their updating rate is limited to the frame rate of standard […]
