V3D: Video Diffusion Models are Effective 3D Generators

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Zilong Chen, Yikai Wang, Feng Wang, Zhengyi Wang, Huaping Liu | Summary: Automatic 3D generation has recently attracted widespread attention. Recent methods have greatly accelerated the generation speed, but usually produce less-detailed objects due to limited model capacity or 3D data. Motivated by recent advancements in video […]

How low can you go? Short-read polishing of Oxford Nanopore bacterial genome assemblies

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: George Bouras, Louise M Judd, Robert A Edwards, Sarah Vreugde, Timothy P. Stinear and Ryan R Wick | Summary: It is now possible to assemble near-perfect bacterial genomes using Oxford Nanopore Technologies (ONT) long reads, but short-read polishing is still required for perfection. However, the effect of short-read depth […]

Control of flow behavior in complex fluids using automatic differentiation

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brenner | First 5 Authors: Mohammed Alhashim, Kaylie Hausknecht, Michael Brenner, , | Summary: Inverse design of complex flows is notoriously challenging because of the high cost of high dimensional optimization. Usually, optimization problems are either restricted to few control parameters, or adjoint-based approaches are used to convert the optimization problem into […]

QCD at 50: Golden Anniversary, Golden Insights, Golden Opportunities

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Frank Wilczek, , , , | Summary: The bulk of this paper centers around the tension between confinement and freedom in QCD. I discuss how it can be understood heuristically as a manifestation of self-adhesive glue and how it fits within the larger contexts of energy-time uncertainty […]

The NIRSpec Wide GTO Survey

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Michael V. Maseda, Anna de Graaff, Marijn Franx, Hans-Walter Rix, Stefano Carniani | Summary: The Near-infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec) on the James Webb Space Telescope is uniquely suited to studying galaxies in the distant Universe with its combination of multi-object capabilities and sensitivity over a large range in […]
