Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Cliff Chen, Shahriar Aghaeimeibodi, Yuki Sato, Matthew H. Matheny, Oskar Painter | Summary: Two-level systems (TLS) are known to be a dominant source of dissipation and decoherence in superconducting qubits. Superconducting resonators provide a convenient way to study TLS-induced loss due to easier design and fabrication in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Chaebin Kim, Sumedh Rathi, Naipeng Zhang, Arnab Seth, Nikolai V. Simonov | Summary: Disorder significantly impacts the electronic properties of conducting quantum materials by inducing electron localization and thus altering the local density of states and electric transport. In insulating quantum magnetic materials the effects of disorder […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Ang Li, Anna L. Watts, Guobao Zhang, Sebastien Guillot, Yanjun Xu | Summary: In this White Paper, we present the potential of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry (eXTP) mission to constrain the equation of state of dense matter in neutron stars, exploring regimes not directly accessible […]
Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Shuang-Nan Zhang, Andrea Santangelo, Yupeng Xu, Hua Feng, Fangjun Lu | Summary: In this paper we present the current status of the enhanced X-ray Timing and Polarimetry mission, which has been fully approved for launch in 2030. eXTP is a space science mission designed to study fundamental […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yujie Lian, Zhichen Pan, Haiyan Zhang, Shuo Cao, P. C. C. Freire | Summary: By January 2025, 60 pulsars were discovered by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope globular cluster (GC) pulsar survey (GC FANS), with spin periods spanning 1.98 ms to 3960.72 ms. Of these, 55 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Edward M. Bryant, Andrés Jordán, Joel D. Hartman, Daniel Bayliss, Elyar Sedaghati | Summary: Planet formation models suggest that the formation of giant planets is significantly harder around low-mass stars, due to the scaling of protoplanetary disc masses with stellar mass. The discovery of giant planets […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Layla M Nassar, xiaojian Shi, Agnes Roczniak-Ferguson, Hongying Shen and Shawn M Ferguson | Summary: Lysosomes break down macromolecules, clear cellular waste and recycle nutrients such as cystine. We describe a novel mechanism whereby JIP4 regulates lysosomal cystine storage by controlling the abundance of cystinosin (CTNS), the transporter responsible […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We measure the CP asymmetry in $D^+ to pi^+ pi^0$ decays reconstructed in $e^+ e^-$ collisions at the Belle II experiment using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 428 fb$^{-1}$. A […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Nicoló Cibrario, Michela Negro, Raffaella Bonino, Nikita Moriakov, Luca Baldini | Summary: Spatially resolved polarization measurements of extended X-ray sources are expanding our understanding of the emission mechanisms and magnetic field properties involved. Such measurements have been possible in the past few years thanks to the Imaging […]
