Kavli Affiliate: Anna Molofsky and Christoph Kirst | Authors: Haruna Nakajo, Ran Cao, Supriya A. Mula, Justin McKetney, Nicholas J. Silva, Muskaan Shah, Indigo V.L. Rose, Martin Kampmann, Danielle L. Swaney, Christoph Kirst and Anna V. Molofsky | Summary: Maintaining a dynamic neuronal synapse pool is critical to brain development. The extracellular matrix (ECM) regulates […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | Summary:The exploration of the surrounding world and the universe is an important theme in the legacy of humankind. The detection of gravitational waves is adding a new dimension to this grand effort. What are the fundamental physical laws governing the dynamics of the universe? What is the fundamental composition of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Suyeon Son, Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho, , | Summary: The characteristic timescale ($tau$) of continuum variability of the accretion disk in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) is known to be related to the thermal timescale, which is predicted to scale with AGN luminosity ($L$) and restframe […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | Summary:We use the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope to observe the bright millisecond pulsar PSR B1937+21 (J1939+2134) and record the data in the band from 1.0 to 1.5 GHz. We measure the neutral hydrogen (HI) emission and absorption lines near 1420 MHz ($λsimeq 21$ cm). We derive the kinematic distance […]
Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | Summary:Small-scale robots offer significant potential in minimally-invasive medical procedures. Due to the nature of soft biological tissues, however, robots are exposed to complex environments with various challenges in locomotion, which is essential to overcome for useful medical tasks. A single mini-robot often provides insufficient force on slippery biological surfaces to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Reza Abbasi Asl | Authors: Alex Jihun Lee, Shenqin Yao, Nicholas Lusk, Hongkui Zeng, Bosiljka Tasic and Reza Abbasi-Asl | Summary: Spatial transcriptomics offers unique opportunities to define the spatial organization of tissues and organs, such as the mouse brain. We address a key bottleneck in the analysis of organ-scale spatial transcriptomic data […]

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | Summary:We report a polarization-induced 2D electron gas (2DEG) at an epitaxial AlBN/GaN heterojunction grown on a SiC substrate. Using this 2DEG in a long conducting channel, we realize ultra-thin barrier AlBN/GaN high electron mobility transistors that exhibit current densities of more than 0.25 A/mm, clean current saturation, a low pinch-off […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jinyi Shangguan | Summary:The geometric distances of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) are challenging to measure because of their exceptionally compact structure yet vast cosmic distances. A combination of spectroastrometry and reverberation mapping (SARM) of broad-line regions (BLRs) constitutes a novel means to probe the geometric distance of AGNs, which has recently become practically […]
