Self-assembling clusters of particles on a shrinking liquid surface

Kavli Affiliate: Mark J. Bowick | First 5 Authors: Xin Li, Shuchen Zhang, Mark J. Bowick, Duanduan Wan, | Summary: After rainfall, pine needles are observed to float on the surface of small puddles. As the water evaporates, these pine needles exhibit spontaneous self-assembly into distinct clusters. Motivated by this natural phenomenon, we conducted experimental […]

Constraining the stochastic gravitational wave background using the future lunar seismometers

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Han Yan, Xian Chen, Jinhai Zhang, Fan Zhang, Lijing Shao | Summary: Motivated by the old idea of using the moon as a resonant gravitational-wave (GW) detector, as well as the recent updates in modeling the lunar response to GWs, we re-evaluate the feasibility of using a […]

Significance of void shape: Neutrino mass from Voronoi void halos?

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Adrian E. Bayer, Jia Liu, Christina D. Kreisch, Alice Pisani, | Summary: Massive neutrinos suppress the growth of cosmic structure on nonlinear scales, motivating the use of information beyond the power spectrum to tighten constraints on the neutrino mass, for example by considering cosmic voids. It was […]

In-situ Measurements of Dark Photon Dark Matter using Parker Solar Probe: Going beyond the Radio Window

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Haipeng An, Shuailiang Ge, Jia Liu, Mingzhe Liu, | Summary: Dark photon dark matter emerges as a compelling candidate for ultralight bosonic dark matter, detectable through resonant conversion into photons within a plasma environment. This study employs in-situ measurements from the Parker Solar Probe (PSP), the first […]
