Efficient Geometry Compression and Communication for 3D Gaussian Splatting Point Clouds

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Storage and transmission challenges in dynamic 3D scene representation based on the i3DV platform, With increasing scene complexity, the explosive growth of 3D Gaussian data volume causes excessive storage space occupancy. To address this issue, we propose adopting the AVS PCRM […]

Quantum Frequency Conversion of Single Photons from a Tin-Vacancy Center in Diamond

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Hanson | First 5 Authors: Julia M. Brevoord, Julia M. Brevoord, , , | Summary: Diamond tin-vacancy (SnV) centers are promising candidates for building quantum network nodes. However, their native photon emission at 619 nm is incompatible with metropolitan-scale networks operating at low-loss telecom wavelengths. To address this, we demonstrate highly efficient, […]

Tracing the Origins of Hot Halo Gas in Milky Way-Type Galaxies with SMUGGLE

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Zhijie Zhang, Zhijie Zhang, , , | Summary: Current galaxy formation models predict the existence of X-ray-emitting gaseous halos around Milky Way (MW)-type galaxies. To investigate properties of this coronal gas in MW-like galaxies, we analyze a suite of high-resolution simulations based on the it SMUGGLE framework, […]

TOI-1438: A rare system with two short-period sub-Neptunes and a tentative long-period Jupiter-like planet orbiting a K0V star

Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Carina M. Persson, Carina M. Persson, , , | Summary: We present the detection and characterisation of the TOI-1438 multi-planet system discovered by TESS. We collected a series of follow-up observations including high-spectral resolution observations with HARPS-N over a period of five years. Our modelling shows that […]

When Energy and Information Revolutions Meet 2D Janus

Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Long Zhang, Long Zhang, , , | Summary: The depletion of energy sources, worsening environmental issues, and the quantum limitations of integrated circuits for information storage in the post-Moore era, are pressing global concerns. Fortunately, two-dimensional (2D) Janus materials, possessing broken spatial symmetry, with emerging pressure-dependent and […]

RadGS-Reg: Registering Spine CT with Biplanar X-rays via Joint 3D Radiative Gaussians Reconstruction and 3D/3D Registration

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Ao Shen, Ao Shen, , , | Summary: Computed Tomography (CT)/X-ray registration in image-guided navigation remains challenging because of its stringent requirements for high accuracy and real-time performance. Traditional "render and compare" methods, relying on iterative projection and comparison, suffer from spatial information loss and domain gap. […]
