Rare mutations implicate CGE interneurons as a vulnerable axis of cognitive deficits across psychiatric disorders

Posted by klaurent Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Attila Losonczy | Authors: Stephanie A Herrlinger, Jiayao Wang, Bovey Y Rao, Jonathan Chang, Joseph Gogos, Attila Losonczy and Dennis Vitkup | Summary: Neuropsychiatric disorders such as autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and schizophrenia (SCZ) share genetic risk factors, including rare high penetrance single nucleotide variants and copy number variants (CNVs), and exhibit both […]

Multi-color characterization of optically invisible FU Orionis-type outbursts: Demonstration and prospects for the WINTER survey

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Danielle Frostig, Danielle Frostig, , , | Summary: Episodic mass accretion is the dominant mechanism for mass assembly in the proto-stellar phase. Although prior optical time-domain searches have allowed detailed studies of individual outbursts, these searches remain insensitive to the earliest stages of star formation. In […]

A carbon-rich atmosphere on a windy pulsar planet

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Michael Zhang, Michael Zhang, , , | Summary: A handful of enigmatic Jupiter-mass objects have been discovered orbiting pulsars. One such object, PSR J2322-2650b, uniquely resembles a hot Jupiter exoplanet due to its minimum density of 1.8 g/cm^3 and its ~1900 K equilibrium temperature. We use […]

Disentangling Multiple Gas Kinematic Drivers in the Perseus Galaxy Cluster

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: XRISM Collaboration, XRISM Collaboration, , , | Summary: Galaxy clusters, the Universe’s largest halo structures, are filled with 10-100 million degree X-ray-emitting gas. Their evolution is shaped by energetic processes such as feedback from supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and mergers with other cosmic structures. The imprints of […]

PromptEnhancer: A Simple Approach to Enhance Text-to-Image Models via Chain-of-Thought Prompt Rewriting

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Linqing Wang, Linqing Wang, , , | Summary: Recent advancements in text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models have demonstrated remarkable capabilities in generating high-fidelity images. However, these models often struggle to faithfully render complex user prompts, particularly in aspects like attribute binding, negation, and compositional relationships. This leads […]

Optical Fiber-Waveguide Hybrid Architecture for Mid-Infrared Ring Lasers

Posted by klaurent UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Tinghui An, Tinghui An, , , | Summary: We report a mid-infrared ring laser via fiber-to-waveguide hybrid integration enabled by directional couplers fabricated in fluoride glasses. Directional couplers were inscribed into fluoride glass using femtosecond laser direct writing, forming low-loss waveguides with a high positive refractive index […]

Visible Yet Unreadable: A Systematic Blind Spot of Vision Language Models Across Writing Systems

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Jie Zhang, Jie Zhang, , , | Summary: Writing is a universal cultural technology that reuses vision for symbolic communication. Humans display striking resilience: we readily recognize words even when characters are fragmented, fused, or partially occluded. This paper investigates whether advanced vision language models (VLMs) share […]
