Atomic layer etching of niobium nitride using sequential exposures of O$_2$ and H$_2$/SF$_6$ plasmas

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Minnich | Summary:Niobium nitride (NbN) is a metallic superconductor that is widely used for superconducting electronics due to its high transition temperature ($T_c$) and kinetic inductance. Processing-induced damage negatively affects the performance of these devices by mechanisms such as microwave surface loss. Atomic layer etching (ALE), with its ability to etch with […]

Evaluating the Effect of Retrieval Augmentation on Social Biases

Posted by klaurent UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Tianhui Zhang, Tianhui Zhang, , , | Summary: Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) has gained popularity as a method for conveniently incorporating novel facts that were not seen during the pre-training stage in Large Language Model (LLM)-based Natural Language Generation (NLG) systems. However, LLMs are known to encode […]

TESSELLATE: Piecing Together the Variable Sky With TESS

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | Summary:We present TESSELLATE, a dedicated pipeline for performing an untargeted search documenting all variable phenomena captured by the TESS space telescope. Building on the TESSreduce difference imaging pipeline, TESSELLATE extracts calibrated and reduced photometric data for every full frame image in the TESS archive. Using this data, we systematically identify […]

An evolutionarily conserved role for separase in the regulation of nuclear lamins

Posted by dbos Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Goldberg | Authors: Francesca Cipressa, Gaelle Pennarun, Giuseppe Bosso, Serena Rosignoli, Liliana Tullo, Nadia Schiralli, Chiara Borghi, Alessandro Paiardini, Michael L Goldberg, Pascale Bertrand and Giovanni Cenci | Summary: Separase is a well conserved endopeptidase that facilitates sister chromatid separation at the metaphase-anaphase transition by cleaving cohesins. Beyond its role in chromosome […]

Realization of discretized response in rare-earth vanadates accessed by AC susceptibility and magnetocaloric methods

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Linda Ye| Summary:This report presents a new technique to probe the quantitative dynamical response of the magnetic field induced heating/cooling process in rare-earth vanadium materials. The approach combines AC susceptibility and AC caloric measurements to reveal the intrinsic timescale associated with the magnetic relaxation process of rare-earth ions at low temperatures. Utilizing the […]

TOI-6324b: An Earth-Mass Ultra-Short-Period Planet Transiting a Nearby M Dwarf

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | Summary:We report the confirmation of TOI-6324 b, an Earth-sized (1.059 $pm$ 0.041 R$_oplus$) ultra-short-period (USP) planet orbiting a nearby ($sim$20 pc) M dwarf. Using the newly commissioned Keck Planet Finder (KPF) spectrograph, we have measured the mass of TOI-6324 b 1.17 $pm$ 0.22 M$_oplus$. Because of its extremely short orbit […]
