Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Ao Shen, Ao Shen, , , | Summary: Computed Tomography (CT)/X-ray registration in image-guided navigation remains challenging because of its stringent requirements for high accuracy and real-time performance. Traditional "render and compare" methods, relying on iterative projection and comparison, suffer from spatial information loss and domain gap. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Graham | Summary:Recent observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) show some tension with a $Λ$CDM cosmology. For one, the cosmological parameters determined by the CMB are at odds with the expansion history determined by latest BAO measurements. In addition, the combined data has placed uncomfortably strong […]

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Yifan Gao, Yifan Gao, , , | Summary: Foundation models pre-trained on large-scale natural image datasets offer a powerful paradigm for medical image segmentation. However, effectively transferring their learned representations for precise clinical applications remains a challenge. In this work, we propose Dino U-Net, a novel encoder-decoder […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Traversing narrow paths is challenging for humanoid robots due to the sparse and safety-critical footholds required. Purely template-based or end-to-end reinforcement learning-based methods suffer from such harsh terrains. This paper proposes a two stage training framework for such narrow path traversing tasks, coupling a template-based foothold planner with a low-level foothold […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary:The third “Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter” (MD$ν$DM’25) meeting was held May 20-23, 2025 in Yokohama, Japan, hosted by the Yokohama Institute for Earth Sciences, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology (JAMSTEC). These proceedings compile contributions from the workshop and update the progress of mineral detector research. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Pengpeng Yu, Pengpeng Yu, , , | Summary: LiDAR point clouds are fundamental to various applications, yet high-precision scans incur substantial storage and transmission overhead. Existing methods typically convert unordered points into hierarchical octree or voxel structures for dense-to-sparse predictive coding. However, the extreme sparsity of geometric […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ali Hajimiri | Summary:Electrical impedance tomography with fully integrated microfluidics and electronics is presented for the first time in a CMOS chip. Chambers and electrodes are fabricated in the interconnect layers of a 65 nm CMOS chip through post-processing, enabling picoliter-volumes to be processed and imaged. Tomography maps are reconstructed by reading out […]
