Active assembly and non-reciprocal dynamics of elastic membranes

Posted by klaurent UCSB

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Bowick | Summary:Equilibrium self-assembly and conventional materials processing techniques fall far short of mimicking dynamic self-actuating processes that are commonplace throughout biology. To bridge the gap between living and synthetic matter, we study adhesive non-thermal fibers immersed in an active fluid. Autonomous chaotic flows power non-equilibrium fiber dynamics, inducing their collisions, generating […]

Searching for GEMS: Characterizing Six Giant Planets around Cool Dwarfs

Posted by dbos MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Shubham Kanodia, Arvind F. Gupta, Caleb I. Canas, Lia Marta Bernabo, Varghese Reji | Summary: Transiting giant exoplanets around M-dwarf stars (GEMS) are rare, owing to the low-mass host stars. However, the all-sky coverage of TESS has enabled the detection of an increasingly large number of them […]

Long Range Energy-energy Correlator at the LHC

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Yuxun Guo, Xiaohui Liu, Feng Yuan, , | Summary: We study the forward-backward azimuthal angular correlations of hadrons in association with multi-particle production in the central rapidity region in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. We apply the nucleon energy-energy correlator framework, where the spinning gluon distribution introduces […]

Cross-sectional imaging of speed-of-sound distribution using photoacoustic reversal beacons

Posted by dbos UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yang Wang, Danni Wang, Liting Zhong, Yi Zhou, Qing Wang | Summary: Photoacoustic tomography (PAT) enables non-invasive cross-sectional imaging of biological tissues, but it fails to map the spatial variation of speed-of-sound (SOS) within tissues. While SOS is intimately linked to density and elastic modulus of tissues, […]
