Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Johanna L. Hall, Shiun-Jr Yang, David T. Limmer, Graham R. Fleming, | Summary: Photosystem II (PSII) can achieve near-unity quantum efficiency of light harvesting in ideal conditions and can dissipate excess light energy as heat to prevent formation of reactive oxygen species under light stress. Understanding […]

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Alejandro A. Stefan-Zavala, Isabel Scherl, Ioannis Mandralis, Steven L. Brunton, Morteza Gharib | Summary: Fan-array wind tunnels are an emerging technology to design bespoke wind fields through grids of individually controllable fans. This design is especially suited for the turbulent, dynamic, non-uniform flow conditions found close to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Juliette Becker, Andrew Vanderburg, Joseph Livesey, , | Summary: Several groups have recently suggested that small planets orbiting very closely around white dwarf stars could be promising locations for life to arise, even after stellar death. There are still many uncertainties, however, regarding the existence and habitability […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Tomojit Chowdhury, Aurélie Champagne, Patrick Knüppel, Zehra Naqvi, Mengyu Gao | Summary: Bilayer crystals, formed by stacking monolayers of two-dimensional (2D) crystals, create interlayer potentials that govern excitonic phenomena but are constrained by their fixed covalent lattices. Replacing one layer with an atomically thin molecular crystal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Tomojit Chowdhury, Aurélie Champagne, Fauzia Mujid, Patrick Knüppel, Zehra Naqvi | Summary: Bilayer crystals, built from monolayers of two-dimensional (2D) crystals with different lattice orientations, generate interlayer potentials leading to unique excitonic properties. However, the ability to tune the interlayer potential is limited by the fixed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ruobing Dong | First 5 Authors: Xiaoyi Ma, Pinghui Huang, Cong Yu, Ruobing Dong, | Summary: Observations of protoplanetary disks have revealed the presence of both crescent-shaped and ring-like structures in dust continuum emission. These crescents are thought to arise from dust-trapping vortices generated by the Rossby Wave Instability (RWI), which induces density […]

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Sibasish Laha, Claudio Ricci, John C. Mather, Ehud Behar, Luigi C. Gallo | Summary: Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are powerful sources of panchromatic radiation. All AGN emit in X-rays, contributing around $sim 5-10%$ of the AGN bolometric luminosity. The X-ray emitting region, popularly known as the corona, […]
