A carbon-rich atmosphere on a windy pulsar planet

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Romani | 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 JWST to observe PSR J2322-2650b’s emission spectrum across an entire orbit. In stark […]

Disentangling Multiple Gas Kinematic Drivers in the Perseus Galaxy Cluster

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | 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 these processes on gas kinematic properties remain largely unknown, restricting our […]

Calorie Restriction modulates beta cell IP3R activity to regulate Ca2+ homeostasis and cell network connectivity

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: Johannes Pfabe, Cristiane dos Santos, Melanie Cutler, Christopher Acree, Aliyah Habashy, Amanda Cambraia, Guy Perkins, Mark Ellisman, Marjan Slak Rupnik and Rafael Arrojo e Drigo | Summary: Calorie restriction (CR) promotes beta cell longevity by regulating cell identity, organelle and protein homeostasis, and metabolism pathways. CR beta cells have […]

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

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

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 […]
