Kavli Affiliate: Mazhar Ali | Summary: Josephson junctions (JJs), devices consisting of two superconductors separated by a barrier, are of great technological importance, being a cornerstone of quantum information processing. Classical understanding of superconductor-insulator-superconductor JJs is that conventional insulator’s properties, other than magnetism, do not significantly influence the junction’s behavior. However, recent work on quantum […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shreesh P. Mysore | Authors: Arunima Banerjee, Ninad B. Kothari and Shreesh P. Mysore | Summary: Competitive stimulus interactions across the space map in the midbrain superior colliculus (SC) are essential for spatial decision-making. Here, with electrophysiological recordings in intermediate and deep layers of the mouse SC (SCid), we discovered that rules and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | Summary:The proliferation of high time-resolution and decades-long monitoring of classical T Tauri stars provides a vast opportunity to test the variability of the star-disk connections. However, most monitoring surveys use single broad-band filters, which makes the conversion of photometric variability into accretion rate difficult. In this study, we analyze accretion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward Kolb | Summary:We study the cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) of spin-3/2 particles during and after cosmic inflation, and map the parameter space that can realize the observed dark matter density in stable spin-3/2 particles. Originally formulated by Rarita and Schwinger, the relativistic theory of a massive spin-3/2 field later found a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Simcoe | Summary:The Wide-field Infrared Transient Explorer (WINTER) is a near-infrared time-domain survey instrument operating on a dedicated 1-meter robotic telescope at Palomar Observatory. The project takes advantage of recent technology advances in time-domain astronomy, robotic telescopes, large-format sensors, and rapid data reduction and alert software for timely follow up of events. […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | Summary:Animated characters often move in non-physical ways and have proportions that are far from a typical walking robot. This provides an ideal platform for innovation in both mechanical design and stylized motion control. In this paper, we bring Olaf to life in the physical world, relying on reinforcement learning guided […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | Summary:The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) that will be carried out by the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory promises to be the defining survey of the next decade, supplying unprecedented access to the night sky to static science- and time-domain science-focused researchers alike. Maximizing the output of the […]
