Nonvolatile Nematic Order Manipulated by Strain and Magnetic Field in a Layered Antiferromagnet

Posted by klaurent July 7, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Linda Ye| Summary:The operation mechanism of nematic liquid crystals lies in the control of their optical properties by the orientation of underlying nematic directors. In analogy, electronic nematicity refers to a state whose electronic properties spontaneously break rotation symmetries of the host crystalline lattice, leading to anisotropic electronic properties. In this work, we […]

Small siphophage binding to an open state of the LptDE outer membrane lipopolysaccharide translocon

Posted by dbos July 7, 2025July 21, 2025UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Robert E. Clark | Authors: Bert van den Berg, Emily Dunbar, Robert Clark, Arnaud Basle, Shenaz Allyjaun, Hector Newman, Julia Hubbard and Syma Khalid | Summary: Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that provide alternatives to small-molecule drugs to combat infections by antibiotic-resistant bacteria. To infect a bacterial host, a phage needs to bind to […]

Escape fractions from unattenuated Ly$α$ emitters around luminous $z>6$ quasars

Posted by klaurent July 7, 2025October 30, 2025MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Minghao Yue, Minghao Yue, , , | Summary: Ionized proximity zones around luminous quasars provide a unique laboratory to characterize the Ly$alpha$ emission lines from $z>6$ galaxies without significant attenuation from the intergalactic medium (IGM). However, Ly$alpha$ line measurements for galaxies within high-redshift quasars’ proximity zones […]

JWST MIRI/MRS observations of hot molecular gas in an AGN host galaxy at Cosmic Noon

Posted by klaurent July 7, 2025July 21, 2025Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: D. Kakkad, D. Kakkad, , , | Summary: Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) are believed to play a central role in quenching star formation by removing or destroying molecular gas from host galaxies via radiation-pressure driven outflows and/or radio jets. Some studies of cold molecular gas in […]

SegmentDreamer: Towards High-fidelity Text-to-3D Synthesis with Segmented Consistency Trajectory Distillation

Posted by klaurent July 7, 2025UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Jiahao Zhu, Jiahao Zhu, , , | Summary: Recent advancements in text-to-3D generation improve the visual quality of Score Distillation Sampling (SDS) and its variants by directly connecting Consistency Distillation (CD) to score distillation. However, due to the imbalance between self-consistency and cross-consistency, these CD-based methods inherently […]

Physics-Guided Dual Implicit Neural Representations for Source Separation

Posted by klaurent July 7, 2025July 21, 2025UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Yuan Ni, Yuan Ni, , , | Summary: Significant challenges exist in efficient data analysis of most advanced experimental and observational techniques because the collected signals often include unwanted contributions–such as background and signal distortions–that can obscure the physically relevant information of interest. To address this, we […]
