Spectrally-selective dynamic radiative thermoregulation via phase engineering

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Xuebing Wu | Summary:Maintaining comfortable temperatures for buildings, humans, and devices consumes a substantial portion of global energy, underscoring the urgent need for energy-efficient thermoregulation technologies. Dynamic radiative thermal emitters that can switch between passive cooling and heating modes offer a promising solution, but most existing devices exhibit broadband optical responses, resulting in […]

Finding the Maximal Contrast of Two Elliptical Gaussian Mode Beams with Aligned Ellipticities

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Brian Lantz | Summary:Interferometric contrast is a key factor limiting the sensitivity of precision optical measurements, including the laser interferometers used in gravitational-wave detection. While standard formulas describe the interference of circular Gaussian beams, many real systems use beams with elliptical cross sections, where differing waists and radii of curvature can reduce fringe […]

Wake Vectoring for Efficient Morphing Flight

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib| Summary:Morphing aerial robots have the potential to transform autonomous flight, enabling navigation through cluttered environments, perching, and seamless transitions between aerial and terrestrial locomotion. Yet mid-flight reconfiguration presents a critical aerodynamic challenge: tilting propulsors to achieve shape change reduces vertical thrust, undermining stability and control authority. Here, we introduce a passive […]

Searching for Transit Timing Variations in young transiting systems

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | Summary:The discovery of young (<800 Myr) transiting planets has provided a new avenue to explore how planets form and evolve over their lifetimes. Mass measurements for these planets would be invaluable, but radial velocity surveys of young systems are often overwhelmed by stellar activity. Transit timing variations (TTVs) offer an […]

Little red dot variability over a century reveals black hole envelope via a giant Einstein cross

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Linhua Jiang | Summary:"Little red dots" (LRDs) represent a new population of astronomical objects uncovered by JWST whose nature remains debated. Although many LRDs are suspected as active galactic nuclei (AGN), they show little variability on days-years timescales. We report the discovery of two gravitationally lensed LRDs at redshift $sim$4.3 behind the cluster […]

PSR J0952-0607: Tightening a Record-High Neutron Star Mass

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Roger Romani | Summary:We report on new orbit-minimum photometry and revised radial-velocity fitting that provide an improved measurement of the mass of the neutron star (NS) in pulsar PSR~J0952$-$0607 at $M_NS = 2.35pm 0.11 M_odot$. With its fast spin and unusually low magnetic field, this NS has evidently experienced unusual evolution, likely connected […]

Deep Forcing: Training-Free Long Video Generation with Deep Sink and Participative Compression

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Hsiao-Mei (Sherry) Cho| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:Recent advances in autoregressive video diffusion have enabled real-time frame streaming, yet existing solutions still suffer from temporal repetition, drift, and motion deceleration. We find that naively applying StreamingLLM-style attention sinks to video diffusion leads to fidelity degradation and motion stagnation. To […]

Rethinking the Use of Vision Transformers for AI-Generated Image Detection

Kavli Affiliate: Hsiao-Mei (Sherry) Cho| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:Rich feature representations derived from CLIP-ViT have been widely utilized in AI-generated image detection. While most existing methods primarily leverage features from the final layer, we systematically analyze the contributions of layer-wise features to this task. Our study reveals that earlier layers […]
