MOSAIC: Magnonic Observations of Spin-dependent Axion-like InteraCtions

Kavli Affiliate: Clarence Chang | First 5 Authors: Clarence Chang, T. J. Hobbs, Dafei Jin, Yi Li, Marharyta Lisovenko | Summary: We introduce an array-scalable, magnon-based detector (MOSAIC) to search for the spin-dependent interactions of electron-coupled axion dark matter. These axions can excite single magnons in magnetic targets, such as the yttrium iron garnet (YIG) […]

Ultra-diffuse galaxies in the EAGLE simulation

Haonan Zheng, Shihong Liao, Liang Gao, Fangzhou Jiang, | Summary: [[{“value”:”We use the highest-resolution EAGLE simulation, Recal-L025N0752, to study the properties and formation of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs). We identify 181 UDGs and find their properties closely match observations. The total masses of EAGLE UDGs range from ${sim}5times 10^{8}~M_{odot}$ to ${sim}2times 10^{11}~M_{odot}$, indicating that they are […]

Geometry of Kinematic Flow

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Daniel Baumann, Harry Goodhew, Austin Joyce, Hayden Lee, Guilherme L. Pimentel | Summary: We uncover a geometric organization of the differential equations for the wavefunction coefficients of conformally coupled scalars in power-law cosmologies. To do this, we introduce a basis of functions inspired by a decomposition of […]

Survey of hippocampal responses to sound in naive mice reveals widespread activation by broadband noise onsets

Kavli Affiliate: Andrea Hasenstaub | Authors: James Bigelow, Toshiaki Suzuki, Yulang Wu, Ying Hu and Andrea R Hasenstaub | Summary: Recent studies suggest some hippocampal (HC) neurons respond to passively presented sounds in naive subjects, but the specificity and prevalence of these responses remain unclear. We used Neuropixels probes to record unit activity in HC […]

D3 dopamine receptors implicate a subtype of medium spiny neuron in the aversive effects of antipsychotic medications

Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Bender | Authors: Elinor Lewis, Jessie Muir, Ling C Li, Julianna Glienke, Sarah Warren Gooding, Kevin Bender, Christina Kim and Jennifer Whistler | Summary: Second generation antipsychotics (SGAs) are widely used clinical tools, yet they often cause negative side effects and take weeks to become effective, leading to poor patient compliance. The […]

Mosquito sex under lock and key

Kavli Affiliate: Leslie B. Vosshall | Authors: Leah Houri-Zeevi, Madison M. Walker, Jacopo Razzauti, Anurag Sharma, H. Amalia Pasolli and Leslie B. Vosshall | Summary: Female mosquitoes typically mate once in a lifetime, making this singular mating decision critically important for the female. Yet, mosquito mating has been historically viewed as male-guided, with the female […]
