Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Alberto Bordin, Chun-Xiao Liu, Tom Dvir, Francesco Zatelli, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf | Summary: Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are non-Abelian excitations predicted to emerge at the edges of topological superconductors. One proposal for realizing a topological superconductor in one dimension involves a chain of spinless fermions, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Abigail J. Lee, Andrew J. Monson, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Kayla A. Owens | Summary: We present near-infrared JHK photometry for the resolved stellar populations in 13 nearby galaxies: NGC 6822, IC 1613, NGC 3109, Sextans B, Sextans A, NGC 300, NGC 55, NGC […]

Kern | Summary: Sex chromosomes are critical elements of sexual reproduction in many animal and plant taxa, however they show incredible diversity and rapid […]
Kavli Affiliate: Flora Vaccarino | Authors: Yifan Wang, Liana Fasching, Feinan Wu, Anita Huttner, Sabina Berretta, Rosalinda Roberts, James F. Leckman, Alexej Abyzov and Flora M. Vaccarino | Summary: Tourette syndrome (TS) is a disorder of high-order integration of sensory, motor, and cognitive functions afflicting as many as 1 in 150 children and characterized by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Franck Polleux Attila Losonczy | Authors: Justin K. O’Hare, Jamie Wang, Margjele D. Shala, Franck Polleux and Attila Losonczy | Summary: Hippocampal pyramidal neurons support episodic memory by integrating complementary information streams into new ‘place fields’. Distal tuft dendrites are thought to initiate place field formation via plateau potentials. However, the hitherto experimental […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Serences | Authors: Anna Shafer-Skelton, Timothy F Brady and John T Serences | Summary: Understanding 3D representations of spatial information, particularly in naturalistic scenes, remains a significant challenge in vision science. This is largely because of conceptual difficulties in disentangling higher-level 3D information from co-occurring features and cues (e.g., the 3D shape […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Yangfan Shi, Feng Long, Gregory J. Herczeg, Daniel Harsono, Yao Liu | Summary: High-angular resolution imaging by ALMA has revealed the near-universality and diversity of substructures in protoplanetary disks. However, disks around M-type pre-main-sequence stars are still poorly sampled, despite the prevalence of M-dwarfs in the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiaoqin Wang | Authors: Chaoqun Cheng, Zijian Huang, Ruiming Zhang, Guozheng Huang, Han Wang, Likai Tang and Xiaoqin Wang | Summary: The common marmoset has become an important experimental animal model in scientific research. The ability to capture and quantify behaviors of marmosets in natural environment and social scenarios is highly desired by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Daniel Jacob Tward, Bryson D P Gray, Xu Li, Bingxing Huo, Samik Banerjee, Stephen Savoia, Christopher Mezias, Sukhendu Das, Michael Miller and Partha Pratim Mitra | Summary: A current focus of research in neuroscience is to enumerate, map and annotate neuronal cell types in whole vertebrate brains using different […]
