Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | Summary:For the first time in nearly a decade, a bright transient was detected in the central parsec (pc) of the Galaxy. MAXI J1744-294, or — as it was known in its previous life — Swift J174540.2-290037, was discovered in outburst by the MAXI telescope in January 2025. We present the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | Summary:For the first time in nearly a decade, a bright new transient was detected in the central parsec (pc) of the Galaxy. MAXI J1744-294 was never observed in outburst prior to January 2025. We present the results of a broadband, multi-wavelength study of MAXI J1744-294, including data from the NuSTAR, […]

Branch | Summary: Changes in synaptic integrity and neural activity homeostasis are hallmarks of brain aging and are closely tied to cognitive outcomes. Yet, defining their […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Gaifan Zhang, Gaifan Zhang, , , | Summary: Semantic similarity between two sentences depends on the aspects considered between those sentences. To study this phenomenon, Deshpande et al. (2023) proposed the Conditional Semantic Textual Similarity (C-STS) task and annotated a human-rated similarity dataset containing pairs of sentences […]

Kavli Affiliate: Emre Yaksi | Authors: Anh-Tuan Trinh, Anna Maria Ostenrath, Ignacio del Castillo-Berges, Susanne Kraus, Fanchon Cachin, Bram Serneels, Koichi Kawakami and Emre Yaksi | Summary: Thalamocortical projections contribute to the spatial organization and functional hierarchies of the mammalian cortex. Primary sensory cortices receive topographically segregated information from first-order thalamic nuclei, which process distinct […]
Kavli Affiliate: Clarence Chang | Summary:Superconducting thin films with high intrinsic kinetic inductance $L_k$ are important for high-sensitivity detectors, enabling strong coupling in hybrid quantum systems, and enhancing nonlinearities in quantum devices. We report the room-temperature reactive sputtering of titanium nitride thin films with a critical temperature $T_c$ of SI3.8K and a thickness of SI27nm. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Gang Cheng, Gang Cheng, , , | Summary: We introduce Wan-Animate, a unified framework for character animation and replacement. Given a character image and a reference video, Wan-Animate can animate the character by precisely replicating the expressions and movements of the character in the video to generate […]
