The Physical Origin and Time Lag of Multi-Frequency Flares from SgrA*

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Hong-Xuan Jiang, Hong-Xuan Jiang, , , | Summary: Sagittarius~A$^*$, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, exhibits flares across various wavelengths, yet their origins remain elusive. We performed 3D two-temperature General Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations of magnetized accretion flows initialized from multi-loop magnetic field […]

Low-energy domain wall racetracks with multiferroic topologies

Kavli Affiliate: Darrell Schlom | First 5 Authors: Arundhati Ghosal, Arundhati Ghosal, , , | Summary: Conventional racetrack memories move information by pushing magnetic domain walls or other spin textures with spin-polarized currents, but the accompanying Joule heating inflates their energy budget and can hamper scaling. Here we present a voltage-controlled, magnetoelectric racetrack in which […]

Kinetics of Vacancy-Assisted Reversible Phase Transition in Monolayer MoTe$_2$

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Fei Shuang, Fei Shuang, , , | Summary: We investigate the kinetics of phase transition between the 2H and 1T$^prime$ phases in monolayer MoTe$_2$ using atomistic simulations based on a machine learning interatomic potential trained on SCAN-DFT data, combined with mean field kinetic theory to interpret the […]

BASS LIII: The Eddington Ratio as the Primary Regulator of the Fraction of X-ray Emission in Active Galactic Nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Kriti Kamal Gupta, Kriti Kamal Gupta, , , | Summary: Active galactic nuclei (AGN) emit radiation via accretion across the entire energy spectrum. While the standard disk and corona model can somewhat describe this emission, it fails to predict specific features such as the soft X-ray excess, […]

A model-agnostic likelihood for the reinterpretation of the $boldsymbolB^+to K^+ νbarν$ measurement at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, Belle II Collaboration, , , | Summary: We recently measured the branching fraction of the $B^+rightarrow K^+nubarnu$ decay using 362 fb$^-1$ of on-resonance $e^+e^-$ collision data, under the assumption of Standard Model kinematics, providing the first evidence for this decay. To facilitate future reinterpretations […]

Do Cosmic String Segments Emit Gravitational Waves?

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Akifumi Chitose, Akifumi Chitose, , , | Summary: Cosmic strings are predicted in various extensions of the Standard Model, including grand unified theories. Depending on the symmetry-breaking pattern, they can be either topologically stable or metastable. Intriguingly, metastable strings have been proposed as a possible origin of […]

Text-driven Multiplanar Visual Interaction for Semi-supervised Medical Image Segmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Kaiwen Huang, Kaiwen Huang, , , | Summary: Semi-supervised medical image segmentation is a crucial technique for alleviating the high cost of data annotation. When labeled data is limited, textual information can provide additional context to enhance visual semantic understanding. However, research exploring the use of textual […]
