Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Emma T. Chickles, Kevin B. Burdge, Joheen Chakraborty, Vik S. Dhillon, Paul Draghis | Summary: Type Ia supernovae, critical for studying cosmic expansion, arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, but their precise progenitor pathways remain unclear. Growing evidence supports the “double-degenerate” scenario, where two white dwarfs […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey Bleem | First 5 Authors: Asmaa Mazoun, Sebastian Bocquet, Joseph J. Mohr, Mathias Garny, Henrique Rubira | Summary: We use galaxy cluster abundance measurements from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) enhanced by Multi-Component Matched Filter (MCMF) confirmation and complemented with mass information obtained using weak-lensing data from Dark Energy Survey Year~3 (DES […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Chaojun Ni, Guosheng Zhao, Xiaofeng Wang, Zheng Zhu, Wenkang Qin | Summary: Closed-loop simulation is crucial for end-to-end autonomous driving. Existing sensor simulation methods (e.g., NeRF and 3DGS) reconstruct driving scenes based on conditions that closely mirror training data distributions. However, these methods struggle with rendering novel […]
Kavli Affiliate: Arnold R. Kriegstein | Authors: Chujing Zhang, Eugene Gil, Sajad Hamid Ahanger, Mingcong Li, Li Wang, Jingjing Li, Arnold Kriegstein and Daniel Lim | Summary: Approximately 30-40% of the human genome is anchored to the nuclear lamina through variably sized (10 kb–10 Mb) lamina-associated domains (LADs). Previous work in cultured murine and human […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aklant K Bhowmick, Laura Blecha, Paul Torrey, Rachel S Somerville, Luke Zoltan Kelley | Summary: The first "seeds" of supermassive black holes (BHs) continue to be an outstanding puzzle, and it is currently unclear whether the imprints of early seed formation survive today. Here we examine the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Shunshun Cao, Jinchen Jiang, Jaroslaw Dyks, Kejia Lee, Jiguang Lu | Summary: We analyse and model rapid rotations of polarization orientations in PSR B1919+21’s single pulses, based on FAST observation data. In more than one third of B1919+21’s single pulses, polarization angle (PA) is found to rotate […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Kai-Xing Lu, Yan-Rong Li, Qingwen Wu, Luis C. Ho, Zhi-Xiang Zhang | Summary: Changing-look active galactic nuclei (CL-AGNs), characterized by emerging or disappearing of broad lines accompanied with extreme continuum flux variability, have drawn much attention for their potential of revealing physical processes underlying AGN evolution. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nergis Mavalvala | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Lou, Hudson A. Loughlin, Nergis Mavalvala, , | Summary: Entanglement often increases quantum measurement schemes’ sensitivity. However, we find that in precision measurements with zero-mean Gaussian states, such as squeezed states, entanglement between different paths degrades measurement sensitivity. We prove an inverse relationship between entanglement entropy […]
