A Promising Method for Strongly Correlated Electrons in Two Dimensions: Gutzwiller-Guided Density Matrix Renormalization Group

Posted by dbos March 24, 2025March 31, 2025UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Hui-Ke Jin, Rong-Yang Sun, Hong-Hao Tu, Yi Zhou, | Summary: The study of strongly correlated electron systems remains a fundamental challenge in condensed matter physics, particularly in two-dimensional (2D) systems hosting various exotic phases of matter including quantum spin liquids, unconventional superconductivity, and topological orders. Although Density […]

NMPC-based Unified Posture Manipulation and Thrust Vectoring for Fault Recovery

Posted by dbos March 24, 2025March 31, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Adarsh Salagame, Shashwat Pandya, Ioannis Mandralis, Eric Sihite, Alireza Ramezani | Summary: Multi-rotors face significant risks, as actuator failures at high altitudes can easily result in a crash and the robot’s destruction. Therefore, rapid fault recovery in the event of an actuator failure is necessary for the […]

Learning Orientation Field for OSM-Guided Autonomous Navigation

Posted by dbos March 24, 2025March 31, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Yuming Huang, Wei Gao, Zhiyuan Zhang, Maani Ghaffari, Dezhen Song | Summary: OpenStreetMap (OSM) has gained popularity recently in autonomous navigation due to its public accessibility, lower maintenance costs, and broader geographical coverage. However, existing methods often struggle with noisy OSM data and incomplete sensor observations, leading […]

Deciphering the Origins of the Elements Through Galactic Archeology

Posted by dbos March 23, 2025March 31, 2025MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Khalil Farouqi, Anna Frebel, Friedrich-Karl Thielemann, , | Summary: Low-metallicity stars preserve the signatures of the first stellar nucleosynthesis events in the Galaxy, as their surface abundances reflect the composition of the interstellar medium from which they were born. Aside from primordial Big Bang nucleosynthesis, massive stars, […]

CellBouncer, A Unified Toolkit for Single-Cell Demultiplexing and Ambient RNA Analysis, Reveals Hominid Mitochondrial Incompatibilities

Posted by dbos March 23, 2025March 31, 2025UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Pollen | Authors: Nathan K Schaefer, Bryan J Pavlovic and Alex Aaron Pollen | Summary: Pooled processing, in which cells from multiple sources are cultured or captured together, is an increasingly popular strategy for droplet-based single cell sequencing studies. This design allows efficient scaling of experiments, isolation of cell-intrinsic differences, and mitigation […]

Predicting performance-related properties of refrigerant based on tailored small-molecule functional group contribution

Posted by dbos March 23, 2025March 31, 2025Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Peilin Cao, Ying Geng, Nan Feng, Xiang Zhang, Zhiwen Qi | Summary: As current group contribution (GC) methods are mostly proposed for a wide size-range of molecules, applying them to property prediction of small refrigerant molecules could lead to unacceptable errors. In this sense, for the design […]

Heterozygosity at a conserved candidate sex determination locus is associated with female development in the clonal raider ant (Ooceraea biroi)

Posted by dbos March 22, 2025March 31, 2025Rockefeller

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 […]

Quasiparticle interference and spectral function of the UTe$_2$ superconductive surface band

Posted by dbos March 22, 2025March 31, 2025Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Adeline Crépieux, Emile Pangburn, Shuqiu Wang, Kuanysh Zhussupbekov, Joseph P. Carroll | Summary: We compute the (0-11) surface spectral function, the surface density of states (DOS), and the quasiparticle interference (QPI) patterns, both in the normal state and superconducting (SC) state of UTe$_2$. We consider […]

Imaging Odd-Parity Quasiparticle Interference in the Superconductive Surface State of UTe2

Posted by dbos March 22, 2025Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: J. C. Seamus Davis | First 5 Authors: Shuqiu Wang, Kuanysh Zhussupbekov, Joseph P. Carroll, Bin Hu, Xiaolong Liu | Summary: Although no known material definitely exhibits intrinsic topological superconductivity, where a spin-triplet electron pairing potential $Delta(k)$ has odd parity, UTe2 is now the leading candidate. Ideally, the parity of $Delta(k)$ might be […]
