Nucleoprotein phase-separation affinities revealed via atomistic simulations of short peptide and RNA fragments

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Vysakh Ramachandran, William Brown and Davit A Potoyan | Summary: Liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins and nucleic acids into condensate phases is a versatile mechanism for ensuring compartmentalization of cellular biochemistry. RNA molecules play critical roles in these condensates, particularly in transcriptional regulation and stress responses, exhibiting a […]

Gravitational Wave Forecasts Constrained by JWST AGN Observations for Early Massive Black Hole Mergers

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Hanpu Liu, Kohei Inayoshi, , , | Summary: Massive black holes (BHs) grow by gas accretion and mergers, observable through electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational wave (GW) emission. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected faint active galactic nuclei (AGNs), revealing an abundant population of accreting BHs […]

Constraining the origin of the nanohertz gravitational-wave background by pulsar timing array observations of both the background and individual supermassive binary black holes

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Yunfeng Chen, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, , | Summary: The gravitational waves (GWs) from supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) are long sought by pulsar timing array experiments (PTAs), in the forms of both a stochastic GW background (GWB) and individual sources. The evidence for a GWB was […]

Exploring the Dynamics of CME-Driven Shocks by Comparing Numerical Modeling and Observations

Posted by dbos Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: Meng Jin, Gang Li, Nariaki Nitta, Wei Liu, Vahe Petrosian | Summary: Shocks driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are primary drivers of gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) events, posing significant risks to space technology and astronauts. Concurrently, particles accelerated at these shocks may also propagate back […]

Direct measurement of terahertz conductivity in a gated monolayer semiconductor

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Su-Di Chen, Qixin Feng, Wenyu Zhao, Ruishi Qi, Zuocheng Zhang | Summary: Two-dimensional semiconductors and their moir’e superlattices have emerged as important platforms for investigating correlated electrons. However, many key properties of these systems, such as the frequency-dependent conductivity, remain experimentally inaccessible because of the mesoscopic sample […]

Preserving phase coherence and linearity in cat qubits with exponential bit-flip suppression

Posted by dbos Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Harald Putterman, Kyungjoo Noh, Rishi N. Patel, Gregory A. Peairs, Gregory S. MacCabe | Summary: Cat qubits, a type of bosonic qubit encoded in a harmonic oscillator, can exhibit an exponential noise bias against bit-flip errors with increasing mean photon number. Here, we focus on cat qubits […]
