Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Chelsea Fox, Tommaso Magrini, Chiara Daraio, , | Summary: The mechanical behavior of composite materials is significantly influenced by their structure and constituent materials. One emerging class of composite materials is irregular network reinforced composites (NRC’s), whose reinforcing phase is generated by a stochastic algorithm. Although design […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Weichen Dai, Yezeng Chen, Zijie Dai, Zhijie Huang, Yubo Liu | Summary: Artificial intelligence is gradually demonstrating its immense potential, and increasing attention is being given to how AI can be harnessed to advance scientific research. In this vision paper, we present our perspectives on how AI […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Aleksandar Radic, Nick von Jeinsen, Ke Wang, Yiru Zhu, Ismail Sami | Summary: Sulfur vacancy defects mediate a wide range of optoelectronic properties in MoS2, with precise control of defect density allowing for tuneable optoelectronic devices. However, accurate measurement of defect density in monolayer and few-layer samples […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Xin Hu, Yuya Ominato, Mamoru Matsuo, , | Summary: We develop a microscopic theory of the spin Seebeck effect (SSE) at the interface of a bilayer system of a ferromagnetic insulator and graphene. We compare the tunneling spin current at the interface due to the SSE and […]
Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Vysakh Ramachandran, William Brown and Davit A Potoyan | Summary: Liquid-liquid phase separation of proteins and nucleic acids into condensate phases is a versatile mechanism for ensuring compartmentalization of cellular biochemistry. RNA molecules play critical roles in these condensates, particularly in transcriptional regulation and stress responses, exhibiting a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Hanpu Liu, Kohei Inayoshi, , , | Summary: Massive black holes (BHs) grow by gas accretion and mergers, observable through electromagnetic (EM) and gravitational wave (GW) emission. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has detected faint active galactic nuclei (AGNs), revealing an abundant population of accreting BHs […]
Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Yunfeng Chen, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, , | Summary: The gravitational waves (GWs) from supermassive binary black holes (BBHs) are long sought by pulsar timing array experiments (PTAs), in the forms of both a stochastic GW background (GWB) and individual sources. The evidence for a GWB was […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: Meng Jin, Gang Li, Nariaki Nitta, Wei Liu, Vahe Petrosian | Summary: Shocks driven by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are primary drivers of gradual solar energetic particle (SEP) events, posing significant risks to space technology and astronauts. Concurrently, particles accelerated at these shocks may also propagate back […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Su-Di Chen, Qixin Feng, Wenyu Zhao, Ruishi Qi, Zuocheng Zhang | Summary: Two-dimensional semiconductors and their moir’e superlattices have emerged as important platforms for investigating correlated electrons. However, many key properties of these systems, such as the frequency-dependent conductivity, remain experimentally inaccessible because of the mesoscopic sample […]
