Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiao-Dong Lin, Long Zhang, , , | Summary: While non-Hermitian (NH) topological phases and phenomena have been observed across various quantum systems, directly measuring NH topological invariants remains a significant challenge. In this study, we present a generic and unified framework for the direct measurement of various […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Shihan Lin, Yi Zhou, Xiao Zhang, Todd Arnold, Ramesh Govindan | Summary: Despite efforts from cloud and content providers to lower latency to acceptable levels for current and future services (e.g., augmented reality or cloud gaming), there are still opportunities for improvement. A major reason that traffic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Emmanuel C Ijezie, Michael J Miller, Celine Hardy, Ava R Jarvis, Timothy Czajka, Lianna D’Brant, Natasha Rugenstein, Adam Waickman, Eain Murphy and David Butler | Summary: INTRODUCTION Herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) infection alters critical markers of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) in neurons. One key marker of AD is the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Jingxiang Sun, Cheng Peng, Ruizhi Shao, Yuan-Chen Guo, Xiaochen Zhao | Summary: We introduce DreamCraft3D++, an extension of DreamCraft3D that enables efficient high-quality generation of complex 3D assets. DreamCraft3D++ inherits the multi-stage generation process of DreamCraft3D, but replaces the time-consuming geometry sculpting optimization with a feed-forward multi-plane […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Genta Indra Winata, Frederikus Hudi, Patrick Amadeus Irawan, David Anugraha, Rifki Afina Putri | Summary: Vision Language Models (VLMs) often struggle with culture-specific knowledge, particularly in languages other than English and in underrepresented cultural contexts. To evaluate their understanding of such knowledge, we introduce WorldCuisines, a massive-scale […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Zifan Lin, Saverio Cambioni, Sara Seager, , | Summary: Some exoplanets have much higher densities than expected from stellar abundances of planet-forming elements. There are two theories – metal-rich formation hypothesis and naked core hypothesis – that explain how formation and evolution can alter the compositions and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Amir Arbabi, Andrei Faraon, , , | Summary: It was recently claimed1 that reported focusing efficiency values of high numerical aperture metalenses are inconsistent with a theoretical bound, and their measurement results are incorrectly interpreted. We review the article and conclude that these claims are not well […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Riya Dinesh Deshpande, Faheem A. Khan, Qasim Zeeshan Ahmed, , | Summary: As the number of devices getting connected to the vehicular network grows exponentially, addressing the numerous challenges of effectively allocating spectrum in dynamic vehicular environment becomes increasingly difficult. Traditional methods may not suffice to tackle […]
Kavli Affiliate: J. S. Villasenor | First 5 Authors: J. Fernando Barbero G., Juan Margalef-Bentabol, Aitor Vicente-Cano, Eduardo J. S. Villaseñor, | Summary: The relation between the Husain-Kuchav{r} model and some extensions thereof that incorporate a dynamical time variable is explored. To this end, we rely on the geometric approach to the Hamiltonian dynamics of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Xuefang Xu, Ke Wang, Qian Gou, Tapas Baug, Di Li | Summary: Dense clumps distributed along filaments are the immediate medium for star formation. Kinematic properties of the clumps, such as velocity gradient and angular momentum, combined with filament orientation, provide important clues to the formation mechanism […]
