Kavli Affiliate: Michael Shadlen | Authors: Lindsey S Brown, NaYoung So, L F Abbott, Michael N Shadlen and Mark S Goldman | Summary: Making accurate decisions requires the brain to maintain evolving representations of accumulated evidence. The population that maintains this evolving representation may change over the course of evidence accumulation. For example, intervening actions […]

Chen and Eiman Azim | Summary: Much of our interaction with the world relies on the ability to move our limbs with speed and precision. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Molofsky | Authors: Caroline C Escoubas, Ekin Guney, Alex Tudoras Miravet, Nathan Magee, Ronald Phua, Davide Ruggero, Anna V Molofsky and William A Weiss | Summary: Multielectrode array (MEA) technology enables simultaneous recording of electrical signals from neuronal networks, producing complex datasets. Current analytical approaches typically examine a limited number of metrics […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | First 5 Authors: Sarvesh Chaudhari, Sarvesh Chaudhari, , , | Summary: Surface oxides are associated with two-level systems (TLSs) that degrade the performance of niobium-based superconducting quantum computing devices. To address this, we introduce a predictive framework for selecting metal capping layers that inhibit niobium oxide formation. Using DFT-calculated oxygen […]
Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: Victoria L. Butler, Victoria L. Butler, , , | Summary: Transition Edge Sensor (TES) bolometers are a well-established technology with a strong track record in experimental cosmology, making them ideal for current and future radio astronomy instruments. The Tomographic Ionized-carbon Mapping Experiment (TIME), in collaboration with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Eric Zhang, Eric Zhang, , , | Summary: It is often understood that supernova (SN) feedback in galaxies is responsible for regulating star formation and generating gaseous outflows. However, a detailed look at their effect on the local interstellar medium (ISM) on small mass scales in simulations […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: William Cerny, William Cerny, , , | Summary: The extremely-low-luminosity, compact Milky Way satellite Ursa Major III / UNIONS 1 (UMaIII/U1; $L_V = 11 L_odot$; $a_1/2 = 3$ pc) was found to have a substantial velocity dispersion at the time of its discovery ($sigma_v = 3.7^+1.4_-1.0 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Andrew G. Sullivan, Andrew G. Sullivan, , , | Summary: Supermassive black hole binary systems (SMBHBs) are thought to emit the recently discovered nHz gravitational wave background; however, not a single individual nHz source has been confirmed to date. Long-term radio-monitoring at the Owens Valley Radio […]
Kavli Affiliate: David N. Spergel | First 5 Authors: Jacob Nibauer, Jacob Nibauer, , , | Summary: Stellar streams are sensitive tracers of low-mass dark matter subhalos and provide a means to test the Cold Dark Matter (CDM) paradigm on small scales. In this work, we connect the intrinsic velocity dispersion of the GD-1 stream […]
