Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | Summary:Natural organisms utilize distributed actuation through their musculoskeletal systems to adapt their gait for traversing diverse terrains or to morph their bodies for varied tasks. A longstanding challenge in robotics is to emulate this capability of natural organisms, which has motivated the development of numerous soft robotic systems. However, such […]
Kavli Affiliate: Youwei Yao | First 5 Authors: L. Ya. Glozman, L. Ya. Glozman, , , | Summary: There is lattice evidence that the QCD matter above the chiral restoration temperature Tch and below the deconfinement temperature Td, called stringy fluid, is characterized by an approximate chiral spin symmetry, which is a symmetry of confinement […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry Atwater | Summary:Achieving laser-driven, reflective, relativistic light sails would represent a tremendous breakthrough for humankind, allowing us to advance our understanding of the solar system and deep space far beyond what we know from space probes, telescopes, and objects passing near Earth. Numerous sail film designs have been proposed, but none have […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yuji Tachikawa | Summary:We construct a new invariant of two-dimensional $mathcalN=(0,1)$ supersymmetric quantum field theories (SQFTs), under a couple of assumptions on the general properties of such SQFTs motivated by considerations in heterotic string theory. This new invariant is in addition to the known ‘primary’ invariants, i.e. the ordinary elliptic genus and the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | Summary:The extended X-ray emission observed in the direction of several molecular clouds in the central molecular zone of our Galaxy exhibits spectral and temporal properties consistent with the X-ray echo scenario. This concept postulates that the observed signal is a light-travel-time delayed reflection of a short ($δt<$1.5 yr) and bright […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei| First 5 Authors: Ildar Khabibullin, Ildar Khabibullin, , , | Summary:Extended X-ray emission observed in the direction of several molecular clouds in the Central Molecular Zone (CMZ) of our Galaxy exhibits spectral and temporal properties consistent with the `X-ray echo’ scenario. It postulates that the observed signal is a light-travel-time delayed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | Summary:H$α$ observations of the solar chromosphere reveal dynamic small-scale structures known as spicules at the limb and rapid blue and red shifted excursions (RBEs/RREs) on-disk. We want to understand what drives these dynamic features, their magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) properties and their role in energy and heat transport to the upper solar […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Lefei Shen, Lefei Shen, , , | Summary: Recent studies have revealed that vision models pre-trained on images can perform well in time series forecasting by reformulating forecasting as an image reconstruction task, suggesting their potential as universal time series foundation models. However, effective cross-modal transfer from […]
Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:Large Language Model (LLM) powered agents have emerged as effective planners for Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) systems. While most existing AutoML approaches focus on automating feature engineering and model architecture search, recent studies in time series forecasting suggest that lightweight models can […]
