Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Jun-En Ding, Feng Liu, Elisa Kallioniemi, Shuqiang Wang | Summary: Alzheimer’s Disease is a progressive neurological disorder that is one of the most common forms of dementia. It leads to a decline in memory, reasoning ability, and behavior, especially in older people. The cause of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kevin Bender | Authors: Joshua D Garcia, Chenyu Wang, Ryan Alexander, Emmie Banks, Timothy Fenton, Jean-Marc DeKeyser, Tatiana V Abramova, Alfred L George, Roy Ben-Shalom, David H Hackos and Kevin J Bender | Summary: Mature neocortical pyramidal cells functionally express two sodium channel (NaV) isoforms: NaV1.2 and NaV1.6. These isoforms are differentially localized […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Rui Zong, Martin Liang, Yuntian Fang, Ke Wang, Xiaoshuai Chen | Summary: Knee-less bipedal robots like SLIDER have the advantage of ultra-lightweight legs and improved walking energy efficiency compared to traditional humanoid robots. In this paper, we firstly introduce an improved hardware design of the bipedal robot […]
Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | Summary:We investigate the capabilities of the mid-infrared instrument (MIRI) of James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to advance our knowledge of AGN dust using the spectral fitting technique on an AGN collection of 21 nearby (z<0.05) AGN (7 type-1 and 14 type-2) observations obtained with the medium resolution spectroscopy (MRS) mode. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | Summary:Giant bulgeless disk galaxies, theoretically expected to be rare in the early Universe, have been confirmed by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to exist as early as 2 billion years after the Big Bang. These morphologically extreme systems offer valuable insights into the physics of disk formation and the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | Summary:The easily accessible experimental signatures of Majorana modes are ambiguous and only probe topology indirectly: for example, quasi-Majorana states mimic most properties of Majoranas. Establishing a correspondence between an experiment and a theoretical model known to be topological resolves this ambiguity. Here we demonstrate that already theoretically determining whether a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Susan E. Clark | First 5 Authors: Hongxing Chen, Snežana Stanimirović, Nickolas M. Pingel, James Dempsey, Frances Buckland-Willis | Summary: Cold neutral hydrogen (HI) is a crucial precursor for molecular gas formation and can be studied via HI absorption. This study investigates HI absorption in low column density regions of the Small and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Peng Yang, Junji Ren, Feng Wang, Ke Tang, | Summary: The fidelity of financial market simulation is restricted by the so-called "non-identifiability" difficulty when calibrating high-frequency data. This paper first analyzes the inherent loss of data information in this difficulty, and proposes to use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | Summary:The first generation of stars, known as Population III (Pop III), played a crucial role in the early Universe through their unique formation environment and metal-free composition. These stars can undergo chemically homogeneous evolution (CHE) due to fast rotation, becoming more compact and hotter/bluer than their (commonly assumed) non-rotating counterparts. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Weichen Kong, Yanwei Dai, Xiang Zhang, Yinghua Liu, | Summary: Creep failure under high temperatures is a complex multiscale and multi-mechanism issue involving inherent microstructural randomness. To investigate the effect of microstructures on the uniaxial/multiaxial creep failure, a dual-scale stochastic analysis framework is established to introduce the […]
