Kavli Affiliate: Risa Wechsler | Summary:The diffuse starlight extending throughout massive galaxy clusters, known as intracluster light (ICL), has the potential to be read as a memoir of mass accretion: informative, individual, and yet imperfect. Here, we combine dark matter-only zoom-in simulations from the Symphony suite with the Nimbus "star-tagging" model of the stellar halo […]

Orofacial clefting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Yiyu Xia, Yiyu Xia, , , | Summary: The emergence of high transition temperature (Tc) superconductivity in strongly correlated materials remains a major unsolved problem in physics. High-Tc materials, such as cuprates, are generally complex and not easily tunable, making theoretical modelling difficult. Although the Hubbard model–a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | Summary:Molecular crystal structure prediction (CSP) is essential for applications in pharmaceuticals and organic electronics. However, CSP remains challenging and computationally intensive due to the need to explore a large search space with sub-kJ/mol accuracy to distinguish between competing polymorphs. While dispersion-inclusive density functional theory (DFT) offers the necessary precision, its […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | Summary:Crystal Structure Prediction (CSP) of molecular crystals plays a central role in applications, such as pharmaceuticals and organic electronics. CSP is challenging and computationally expensive due to the need to explore a large search space with sufficient accuracy to capture energy differences of a few kJ/mol between polymorphs. Dispersion-inclusive density […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Melia | Summary:The detection of a single quantum of energy with high efficiency and a low false positive rate is of considerable scientific interest, from serving as single quantum sensors of optical and infra-red photons to enabling the direct detection of low-mass dark matter. We confirm our initial experimental demonstration of magnetic […]

Kavli Affiliate: D. B. Macfarlane | Summary:Cryogenic calorimeters for low-mass dark matter searches have achieved sub-eV energy resolutions, driving advances in both low-energy calibration techniques and our understanding of detector physics. The energy deposition spectrum of gamma rays scattering off target materials exhibits step-like features, known as Compton steps, near the binding energies of atomic […]
