Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Mucida | Authors: Roham Parsa, Helder Carvalho de Assis, Tiago B.R. de Castro, Gabriella Lima dos Reis, Harald Hartweger, Angelina Bilate and Daniel Mucida | Summary: Pathogen-specific CD4⁺ T cells undergo dynamic expansion and contraction during infection, ultimately generating memory clones that shape the subsequent immune responses. However, the influence of distinct […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Peter W. Graham, Peter W. Graham, , , | Summary: Recent observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) and baryon acoustic oscillations (BAO) show some tension with a $Lambda$CDM cosmology. For one, the cosmological parameters determined by the CMB are at odds with the expansion history […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Yifan Gao, Yifan Gao, , , | Summary: Foundation models pre-trained on large-scale natural image datasets offer a powerful paradigm for medical image segmentation. However, effectively transferring their learned representations for precise clinical applications remains a challenge. In this work, we propose Dino U-Net, a novel encoder-decoder […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Chenhao Zhang, Chenhao Zhang, , , | Summary: Dynamic point cloud compression (DPCC) is crucial in applications like autonomous driving and AR/VR. Current compression methods face challenges with complexity management and rate control. This paper introduces a novel dynamic coding framework that supports variable bitrate and computational […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Chenhao Zhang, Chenhao Zhang, , , | Summary: Neural Video Compression (NVC) has achieved remarkable performance in recent years. However, precise rate control remains a challenge due to the inherent limitations of learning-based codecs. To solve this issue, we propose a dynamic video compression framework designed for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: TianChen Huang, TianChen Huang, , , | Summary: Traversing narrow beams is challenging for humanoids due to sparse, safety-critical contacts and the fragility of purely learned policies. We propose a physically grounded, two-stage framework that couples an XCoM/LIPM footstep template with a lightweight residual planner and a […]

These proceedings compile contributions […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ali Hajimiri | First 5 Authors: Antonio Victor Machado de Oliveira, Antonio Victor Machado de Oliveira, , , | Summary: Electrical impedance tomography with fully integrated microfluidics and electronics is presented for the first time in a CMOS chip. Chambers and electrodes are fabricated in the interconnect layers of a 65 nm CMOS […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | First 5 Authors: Sean Bryan, Sean Bryan, , , | Summary: SPHEREx is a NASA infrared astronomy mission that launched on March 12th, 2025 and is operating successfully in low-Earth orbit (LEO). The mission is currently observing the entire sky in 102 spectral channels in four independent all-sky surveys and […]
