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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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, […]
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 […]
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 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Janak | David J Ottenheimer, Katherine R Vitale, Frederic Ambroggi, Patricia H Janak and Benjamin T Saunders | Summary: Basolateral amygdala (BLA) neuronal responses to conditioned stimuli are closely linked to the expression of conditioned behavior. An area of increasing interest is how the dynamics of BLA neurons relate to evolving behavior. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Timothy Brown | Pratik Kumar, Alina Gutu, Amelia Waring, Timothy A Brown, Luke D Lavis and Alison G. Tebo | Summary: Chemigenetic tags are versatile labels for fluorescence microscopy that combine some of the advantages of genetically encoded tags with small molecule fluorophores. The Fluorescence Activating and absorbance Shifting Tags (FASTs) bind a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Zhiyuan Ji, Christina C. Williams, Katherine A. Suess, Sandro Tacchella, Benjamin D. Johnson | Summary: We present the UV-to-NIR size evolution of a sample of 161 quiescent galaxies (QGs) with $M_*>10^{10}M_odot$ over $0.5<z<5$. With deep multi-band NIRCam images in GOODS-South from JADES, we measure the effective radii […]
