BLTP3A is associated with membranes of the late endocytic pathway and is an effector of CASM

Kavli Affiliate: Pietro De Camilli | Authors: Michael G Hanna, Hely O Rodriguez Cruz, Kenshiro Fujise, Yumei Wu, C Shan Xu, Song Pang, Li Zhuoning, Mara Monetti and Pietro De Camilli | Summary: Recent studies have identified a family of rod-shaped proteins thought to mediate lipid transfer at intracellular membrane contacts by a bridge-like mechanism. […]

A vector calculus for neural computation in the cerebellum

Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Mohammad Amin Fakharian, Alden Shoup, Paul Hage, Hisham Elseweifi and Reza Shadmehr | Summary: Null space theory predicts that a neuron will often generate spikes not to produce behavior, but to prevent another neuron’s impact on behavior. Here, we present a direct test of this theory in the brain. […]

Long-Term X-ray Variability on the Benchmark YSO HL Tau

Kavli Affiliate: Moritz Guenther | Summary:HL Tau is one of the most well-studied Class I young stellar objects, including frequent observations at near- and mid-infrared, (sub-) millimeter, and X-ray wavelengths. We present the results of an X-ray variability monitoring campaign with XMM-Newton in 2020 and X-ray gratings spectroscopy from Chandra/HETGS in 2018. We find that […]

Gamma-ray emission from decays of boosted nuclei in protomagnetar jets

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary:We examine the detectability of $γ$-ray emission originating from the radioactive decays of unstable nuclei that are synthesized in relativistic outflows launched in magnetorotational core-collapse supernovae. The observed lines have enhanced energies due to the Lorentz boosted nuclei and can also be seen until later times due to time dilation […]

Geometric Interpretations of the $k$-Nearest Neighbour Distributions

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | Summary:The $k$-Nearest Neighbour Cumulative Distribution Functions are measures of clustering for discrete datasets that are fast and efficient to compute. They are significantly more informative than the 2-point correlation function. Their connection to $N$-point correlation functions, void probability functions and Counts-in-Cells is known. However, the connections between the CDFs and […]

High-Temperature Strong Nonreciprocal Thermal Radiation from Semiconductors

Kavli Affiliate: Harry Atwater | Summary:Nonreciprocal thermal emitters that break the conventional Kirchhoff’s law allow independent control of emissivity and absorptivity and promise exciting new functionalities in controlling heat flow for thermal and energy applications. In enabling some of these applications, nonreciprocal thermal emitters will unavoidably need to serve as hot emitters. Leveraging magneto-optical effects, […]
