Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Daniel Sobrid-Camean, Bramwell Coulson, Michael Miller, Matthew CW Oswald, Tom Pettini, Richard A Baines and Matthias Landgraf | Summary: As developing networks transition from spontaneous irregular to patterned activity, they undergo plastic tuning phases, termed “critical periods”; “critical” because disturbances during these phases can lead to lasting changes in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Abdelaziz Hussein, Lina Necib, Manoj Kaplinghat, Stacy Y. Kim, Andrew Wetzel | Summary: We build a theoretical range for the Milky Way’s (MW) inner dark matter (DM) distribution informed by the FIRE-2, Auriga, VINTERGATAN-GM, and TNG50 simulation suites assuming the canonical cold dark matter (CDM) model. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dustin M. Schroeder| First 5 Authors: Long Phan, Long Phan, , , | Summary:Benchmarks are important tools for tracking the rapid advancements in large language model (LLM) capabilities. However, benchmarks are not keeping pace in difficulty: LLMs now achieve over 90% accuracy on popular benchmarks like MMLU, limiting informed measurement of state-of-the-art LLM […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Chengqing Xu, Lixin He, Wanchen Tao, Xiaosong Zhu, Feng Wang | Summary: Ultrashort laser pulses carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) have become essential tools in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) studies, particularly for investigating strong-field light-matter interactions. However, controlling and generating ultrashort vortex pulses presents significant challenges, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shinichiro Takeda| First 5 Authors: Hayato Kanno, Hayato Kanno, , , | Summary:We investigate the $N_f=2$ Schwinger model with the massive staggered fermions in the presence of a $2π$ periodic $θ$ term, using the Grassmann tensor renormalization group. Thanks to the Grassmann tensor network formulation, there is no difficulty in dealing with the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Adam S. Charles and Richard Huganir | Authors: Zhining Chen, Gabrielle I. Coste, Evan Li, Richard L. Huganir, Austin R. Graves and Adam Charles | Summary: Synapses are submicron structures that connect and enable communication between neurons. Many forms of learning are thought to be encoded by synaptic plasticity, wherein the strength of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gang Su | First 5 Authors: Jia Wen Li, Gang Su, Bo Gu, , | Summary: Realizing ferromagnetic semiconductors with room Curie temperature $Trm_C$ remains a challenge in spintronics. Inspired by the recent experimental progress on the nanotubes based on 2D van der Waals non-magnetic transition-metal dichalcogenides, magnetic nanotubes based on monolayer ferromagnetic […]
Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Marc Turner, Sarah Robinson-Schwartz, Siavash Fazel Darbandi, John L.R. Rubenstein and Vikaas Singh Sohal | Summary: RNA molecules are essential in orchestrating the assembly of biomolecular condensates and membraneless compartments in cells. Many condensates form via the association of RNA with proteins containing specific RNA binding motifs. However, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alex Kolodkin | Authors: Sriram Sudarsanam, Luis Guzman-Clavel, Nyle Dar, Jakub Ziak, Naseer Shahid, Xinyu O Jin and Alex L Kolodkin | Summary: Cortical connectivity is contingent on ordered emergence of neuron subtypes followed by the formation of subtype-specific axon projections. Intracortical circuits, including long-range callosal projections, are crucial for information processing, but […]
