Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Lee Sharkey, Bilal Chughtai, Joshua Batson, Jack Lindsey, Jeff Wu | Summary: Mechanistic interpretability aims to understand the computational mechanisms underlying neural networks’ capabilities in order to accomplish concrete scientific and engineering goals. Progress in this field thus promises to provide greater assurance over AI system behavior […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Weijie He, Yuwei Zhang, Ting Xu, Tai An, Yingbin Liang | Summary: Deep learning has emerged as a transformative approach for solving complex pattern recognition and object detection challenges. This paper focuses on the application of a novel detection framework based on the RT-DETR model for analyzing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Hannah Gulick, Hiroki Yoneda, Tadayuki Takahashi, Claire Chen, Kazuhiro Nakazawa | Summary: We present measurements of the afterglow signatures in NaI(Tl) and CsI(Tl) detector modules as part of the Background and Transient Observer (BTO) mission detector trade-study. BTO is a NASA Student Collaboration Project flying on the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Yann Gouttenoire, Stephen F. King, Rishav Roshan, Xin Wang, Graham White | Summary: One of the simplest standard model extensions leading to a domain wall network is a real scalar $S$ with a $mathcal{Z}_2$ symmetry spontaneously broken during universe evolution. Motivated by the swampland program, we explore […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Kleinfeld | Authors: Heet Kaku, Liu D Liu, Runbo Gao, Steven West, Song-Mao Liao, Arseny Finkelstein, David Kleinfeld, Alyse Thomas, Sri Laasya Tipparaju, Karel Svoboda and Nuo Li | Summary: Rhythmic orofacial movements, such as eating, drinking, or vocalization, are controlled by distinct premotor oscillator networks in the brainstem. Orofacial movements must […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Kip D Lacy, Jina Lee, Kathryn Rozen-Gagnon, Wei Wang, Thomas S Carroll and Daniel J C Kronauer | Summary: Sex determination is a developmental switch that triggers sex-specific developmental programs. This switch is “flipped” by the expression of genes that promote male- or female-specific development. Many lineages have evolved […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Chuan F. C. Chang, Joseph E. Dill, Zexuan Zhang, Jie-Cheng Chen, Naomi Pieczulewski | Summary: GaN has emerged to be a major semiconductor akin to silicon due to its revolutionary impacts in solid state lighting, critically enabled by p-type doping, and high-performance radio-frequency and power electronics. Suffering […]
Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Ievgen I. Arkhipov, Philippe Lewalle, Franco Nori, Şahin K. Özdemir, K. Birgitta Whaley | Summary: Non-Hermitian systems have been at the focus of intense research for over a decade, partly due to their nontrivial energy topology formed by intersecting Riemann manifolds with branch points known as exceptional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Miles, Francesco Zatelli, A. Mert Bozkurt, Michael Wimmer, Chun-Xiao Liu | Summary: Exchanging the positions of two non-Abelian anyons transforms between many-body wavefunctions within a degenerate ground-state manifold. This behavior is fundamentally distinct from fermions, bosons and Abelian anyons. Recently, quantum dot-superconductor arrays have emerged as […]
Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Ivan Kulesh, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf, Qingzhen Wang, Vincent P. M. Sietses, Yining Zhang | Summary: In semiconducting-superconducting hybrid devices, Andreev bound states (ABSs) can mediate the coupling between quantum dots (QDs), allowing for the realisation of artificial Kitaev chains. In order to engineer Majorana bound […]
