Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Anand R Mysorekar, Anushka Vispute and Cory Miller | Summary: Prosocial behaviors, such as cooperation and food sharing, are critical for maintaining group cohesion in social species, yet the influence of transient physiological states on these behaviors remains poorly understood. This study investigates how short-term ecological factors impact social […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lily Jan and Yuh Nung Jan | Authors: Chin Fen Teo, Sami T Tuomivaara, Niek van Hilten, David Crottès, Yuh Nung Jan, Michael Grabe and Lily Y Jan | Summary: The asymmetric resting distribution of the three major phospholipid classes on the mammalian plasma membrane, with phosphatidylserine and phosphatidylethanolamine mostly on the inner […]
Kavli Affiliate: Emil J. Martinec | First 5 Authors: Andrea Dei, Emil J. Martinec, , , | Summary: We formulate a worldsheet description of string theory in the background of a single decoupled NS5-brane, which is a particularly simple example of “little string” holography. The worldsheet theory involves a gauged Wess-Zumino-Witten model for the group […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Anne E. Peck, Anne E. Peck, , , | Summary: Directly imaged substellar companions with well-constrained ages and masses serve as vital empirical benchmarks for planet formation and evolution models. Potential benchmark companions can be identified from astrometric accelerations of their host stars. We use Gaia DR3 […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Bowers | First 5 Authors: Chen Shang, Weng W. Chow, Galan Moody, John E. Bowers, | Summary: A study was performed to determine the extent cavity enhancement may increase single-photon production while maintaining single-photon purity. It was found that certain combinations of cavity lifetime and light-matter coupling strength can lead to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Logan S James, Sarah C Woolley, Jon T Sakata, Courtney B Hilton, Michael J Ryan and Samuel A Mehr | Summary: Many animals produce sounds during courtship, and receivers prefer some sounds over others. Shared ancestry and convergent evolution may generate similarities in preference across species and could underlie […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joshua A. Frieman | First 5 Authors: Anowar J. Shajib, Tommaso Treu, Sherry H. Suyu, David Law, Akın Yıldırım | Summary: Spatially resolved stellar kinematics has become a key ingredient in time-delay cosmography to break the mass-sheet degeneracy in the mass profile and, in turn, provide a precise constraint on the Hubble constant […]
Kavli Affiliate: Justus M Kebschull | Authors: Hyopil Kim, Cheng Xu, Craig Washington, Maggie Lowmann and Justus M Kebschull | Summary: Brain-wide neural circuits are formed by the diverse axonal branching patterns of many individual neurons. Here we introduce POINTseq (projections of interest by sequencing), a high-throughput and user-friendly barcoded connectomics method that uses cell […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Cohen, Alexander P. Ji, Peter S. Ferguson, Sergey E. Koposov, Alex Drlica-Wagner | Summary: Stellar streams are sensitive laboratories for understanding the small-scale structure in our Galaxy’s gravitational field. Here, we analyze the morphology of the $300S$ stellar stream, which has an eccentric, retrograde orbit […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Ruixiang Song, Ruixiang Song, , , | Summary: Metalenses, owing to their ultra-thin planar structures, present a promising solution for reducing endoscopic invasiveness. However, achieving high-quality imaging with minimal invasiveness (short focal length of metalens) remains a critical challenge. This paper presents a deep learning assisted metalens […]
