Tunable electronic energy level alignment and exciton diversity in organic-inorganic van der Waals heterostructures

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Aurélie Champagne, Aurélie Champagne, , , | Summary: van der Waals stacking of two-dimensional (2D) materials offers a powerful platform for engineering material interfaces with tailored electronic and optical properties. While most van der Waals multilayers have featured inorganic monolayers, incorporating molecular monolayers introduces new degrees […]

Self-interacting dark matter in the center of a Local Group dwarf galaxy and its satellites

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Thales A. Gutcke, Thales A. Gutcke, , , | Summary: We present a detailed comparison of a Local Group dwarf galaxy analogue evolved in two cosmological models: the standard $Lambda$CDM and a self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) model with a velocity-dependent cross-section. Both simulations are run with the […]

MEGATRON: how the first stars create an iron metallicity plateau in the smallest dwarf galaxies

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Martin P. Rey, Martin P. Rey, , , | Summary: We study the stellar mass-iron metallicity relation of dwarf galaxies in the new high-resolution MEGATRON cosmological radiation-hydrodynamics simulations. These simulations model galaxy formation up to $zapprox8$ in a region that will collapse into a Milky-Way-like galaxy […]

CMT-Benchmark: A Benchmark for Condensed Matter Theory Built by Expert Researchers

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Haining Pan, Haining Pan, , , | Summary: Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable progress in coding and math problem-solving, but evaluation on advanced research-level problems in hard sciences remains scarce. To fill this gap, we present CMT-Benchmark, a dataset of 50 problems covering condensed matter […]

EIGER VIII: First stars signatures in the connection between OI absorption and Galaxies in the Epoch of Reionization

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Jack Higginson, Jack Higginson, , , | Summary: We investigate the association between galaxies and neutral OI absorption systems at z~6, which trace metal-enriched gas during the epoch of reionization. We identify 40 galaxies across six quasar fields, residing in 15 overdensities within 300 kpc of […]

The Cosmic Infrared Background Experiment-2: An Intensity Mapping Optimized Sounding-rocket Payload to Understand the Near-IR Extragalactic Background Light

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: The background light produced by emission from all sources over cosmic history is a powerful diagnostic of structure formation and evolution. At near-infrared wavelengths, this extragalactic background light (EBL) is comprised of emission from galaxies stretching all the way back […]

Character Mixing for Video Generation

Posted by klaurent UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Tingting Liao, Tingting Liao, , , | Summary: Imagine Mr. Bean stepping into Tom and Jerry–can we generate videos where characters interact naturally across different worlds? We study inter-character interaction in text-to-video generation, where the key challenge is to preserve each character’s identity and behaviors while enabling […]

Optimization of velocity receptor transduction in CAR T cells

Posted by dbos Hopkins

Kavli Affiliate: Denis Wirtz | Authors: Frances S. Cho, John R. Huguenard and Jeanne T. Paz | Summary: Limited infiltration capacity significantly limits the effectiveness of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells for solid tumors. We have recently developed a large family of highly modular synthetic cytokine receptors termed velocity receptors (VRs), capable of binding […]

A Dual Inhibitory Network in the Thalamic Reticular Nucleus Delineated by Pallidal and Intra-Reticular Inhibition

Posted by dbos UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Jeanne Paz | Authors: Frances S. Cho, John R. Huguenard and Jeanne T. Paz | Summary: Long described as an inhibitory “guardian of the gateway,” the thalamic reticular nucleus (TRN) shapes which thalamic signals reach the cortex during attention, arousal, and sensory processing. However, how the inhibitory wiring within TRN supports this flexible […]

On the sensitivity of different galaxy properties to warm dark matter

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We study the impact of warm dark matter (WDM) particle mass on galaxy properties using 1,024 state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamical simulations from the DREAMS project. We begin by using a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) coupled with a normalizing flow to explore global statistical […]
