2D numerical simulation of lunar response to gravitational waves using finite element method

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Lei Zhang, Han Yan, Xian Chen, Jinhai Zhang, | Summary: Previous studies of the response of the Moon to gravitational waves have been carried out using analytical or semi-analytical models assuming ideal lunar structures. Such models are advantageous for their high-speed calculation but fail to account for […]

Measurements of the quantum geometric tensor in solids

Kavli Affiliate: Linda Ye| Summary:Understanding the geometric properties of quantum states and their implications in fundamental physical phenomena is at the core of modern physics. The Quantum Geometric Tensor (QGT) is a central physical object in this regard, encoding complete information about the geometry of the quantum state. The imaginary part of the QGT is […]

Bulge Oscillation Driven by Outflows of Active Galactic Nuclei. I. Fast Outflow Case

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Yue-Chang Peng, Jian-Min Wang, Yu Zhao, Luis C. Ho, | Summary: There is growing evidence for star formation inside outflows of active galactic nuclei (AGNs). The formed stars are injected into bulges and give rise to perturbation of bulges. In this paper, we investigate the issues […]

Meson correlators in 4d $mathcal{N}=2$ SCFTs and hints for 8d structures at weak coupling

Kavli Affiliate: Xinan Zhou | First 5 Authors: Xi-Er Du, Zhongjie Huang, Bo Wang, Ellis Ye Yuan, Xinan Zhou | Summary: We study correlators of $frac{1}{2}$-BPS mesons in two examples of 4d SQCDs with $mathcal{N}=2$ superconformal symmetry in the planar limit. We focus on the weakly coupled regime and obtain one-loop corrections to $n$-point meson […]

Picosecond expansion in LaAlO3 resonantly driven by infrared-active phonons

Kavli Affiliate: Nicole A. Benedek | Summary:We investigate the ultrafast structural dynamics of LaAlO3 thin films driven by short mid-infrared laser pulses at 20 THz. Time-resolved X-ray diffraction reveals an immediate lattice expansion and an acoustic breathing mode of the film. First-principles theory and a spring-mass model identify the direct coupling between coherently driven infrared-active […]

Augmented Mass-Spring model for Real-Time Dense Hair Simulation

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Jorge Alejandro Amador Herrera, Jorge Alejandro Amador Herrera, , , | Summary: We propose a novel Augmented Mass-Spring (AMS) model for real-time simulation of dense hair at strand level. Our approach considers the traditional edge, bending, and torsional degrees of freedom in mass-spring systems, but incorporates an […]

Gene regulatory networks and essential transcription factors for de novo originated genes

Kavli Affiliate: Li Zhao | Authors: Junhui Peng, Bing-Jun Wang, Nicolas Svetec and Li Zhao | Summary: The regulation of gene expression is crucial for the functional integration of evolutionarily young genes, particularly those that emerge de novo. However, the regulatory programs governing the expression of de novo genes remain unknown. To address this, we […]
