Unraveling the mechanisms of triplet state formation in a heavy-atom free photosensitizer

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Thomas P. Fay, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: Triplet excited state generation plays a pivotal role in photosensitizers, however the reliance on transition metals and heavy atoms can limit the utility of these systems. In this study, we demonstrate that an interplay of competing […]

Stability of 20 Biogenic Amino Acids in Concentrated Sulfuric Acid: Implications for the Habitability of Venus’ Clouds

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Maxwell D. Seager, Sara Seager, William Bains, Janusz J. Petkowski, | Summary: Scientists have long speculated about the potential habitability of Venus, not at the 700K surface, but in the cloud layers located at 48-60 km altitudes, where temperatures match those found on Earth’s surface. However, the […]

Long range projections of oxytocin neurons in the marmoset brain

Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Arthur Lefevre, Jazlynn Meza and Cory Miller | Summary: The neurohormone oxytocin (OT) has become a major target for the development of novel therapeutic strategies to treat psychiatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorder because of its integral role in governing many facets of mammalian social behavior. Whereas extensive work […]

A New Population of Mid-Infrared-Selected Tidal Disruption Events: Implications for Tidal Disruption Event Rates and Host Galaxy Properties

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Kishalay De, Christos Panagiotou, Erin Kara, Iair Arcavi | Summary: Most tidal disruption events (TDEs) are currently found in time-domain optical and soft X-ray surveys, both of which are prone to significant obscuration. The infrared (IR), however, is a powerful probe of dust-enshrouded environments, and […]

Floquet topological phases with large winding number

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Kaiye Shi, Xiang Zhang, Wei Zhang, , | Summary: Recently, anomalous Floquet topological phases without static counterparts have been observed in different systems, where periodically driven models are realized to support a winding number of 1 and a pair of edge modes in each quasienergy gap. Here, […]

Optical-parametric-amplification-enhanced background-free spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Mingchen Liu, Robert M. Gray, Arkadev Roy, Luis Ledezma, Alireza Marandi | Summary: Traditional absorption spectroscopy has fundamental difficulty in resolving small absorbance from strong background due to the instability of laser sources. Existing background-free methods in broadband vibrational spectroscopy help to alleviate this problem but face […]

The Impact of Spin in Compact Binary Foreground Subtraction for Estimating the Residual Stochastic Gravitational-wave Background in Ground-based Detectors

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Hanlin Song, Dicong Liang, Ziming Wang, Lijing Shao, | Summary: Stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) background (SGWB) contains information about the early Universe and astrophysical processes. The recent evidence of SGWB by pulsar timing arrays in the nanohertz band is a breakthrough in the GW astronomy. For ground-based GW […]
