Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Neha Mahuli, Neha Mahuli, , , | Summary: We present a dry surface treatment combining atomic layer etching and deposition (ALE and ALD) to mitigate dielectric loss in fully fabricated superconducting quantum devices formed from aluminum thin films on silicon. The treatment, performed as a final processing […]

Holmes, Bo Li, Yao-Qing Chen, Zhao-Rong Li and Mang Shi | Summary: Predicting the evolution and function of viruses is a fundamental biological challenge, largely […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Fanhao Shen, Yujie Ji, Debin Xiang, Yanzhe Wang, Ke Wang | Summary: Quantum random access memory (QRAM) enables efficient classical data access for quantum computers — a prerequisite for many quantum algorithms to achieve quantum speedup. Despite various proposals, the experimental realization of QRAM remains largely unexplored. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Ruiming Chen, Junming Yang, Shiyu Xia, Xu Yang, Jing Wang | Summary: CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) has attracted widespread attention for its multimodal generalizable knowledge, which is significant for downstream tasks. However, the computational overhead of a large number of parameters and large-scale pre-training poses challenges of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Eungkyun Kim, Eungkyun Kim, , , | Summary: AlN has the largest bandgap in the wurtzite III-nitride semiconductor family, making it an ideal barrier for a thin GaN channel to achieve strong carrier confinement in field-effect transistors, analogous to silicon-on-insulator technology. Unlike SiO$_2$/Si/SiO$_2$, AlN/GaN/AlN can be grown […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Rayna Rampalli, Melissa K. Ness, Elisabeth R. Newton, Andrew Vanderburg, Tobias Buck | Summary: We explore how the correlation between host star metallicity and giant planets shapes hot Jupiter occurrence as a function of Galactic birth radius (rbirth) and phase-space density in the Milky Way disk. Using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Timothy A. Ryan | Authors: Zhanat Koshenov, Alexandros C. Kokotos, Lorena Benedetti, Jennifer Lippincott Schwartz and Timothy A. Ryan | Summary: The brain is a disproportionately large consumer of fuel, estimated to expend ∼20% of the whole-body energy budget, and therefore it is critical to adequately control brain fuel expenditures while satisfying its […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Alice M. Luna, Alice M. Luna, , , | Summary: Star formation in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs, $M_* <10^5M_odot$) is suppressed by reionization, but may not be completely quenched. The metallicity distribution function (MDF) of stars in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies could show these signatures of reionization. However, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Igor V. Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Tsunefumi Mizuno, Katsuhiro Hayashi, Hinako Ochi, Igor V. Moskalenko, Elena Orlando | Summary: To investigate the interstellar medium (ISM) and Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) in the solar neighborhood, we analyzed ${gamma}$-ray data by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) for five nearby molecular cloud regions. Our data […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sven Herrmann | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: ComPair, a prototype of the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO), completed a short-duration high-altitude balloon campaign on August 27, 2023 from Fort Sumner, New Mexico, USA. The goal of the balloon flight was the demonstration of ComPair as both a […]
