Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Ting-Hsuan Liao, Yi Zhou, Yu Shen, Chun-Hao Paul Huang, Saayan Mitra | Summary: We explore how body shapes influence human motion synthesis, an aspect often overlooked in existing text-to-motion generation methods due to the ease of learning a homogenized, canonical body shape. However, this homogenization can distort […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander Ji | First 5 Authors: Fabrícia O. Barbosa, Anirudh Chiti, Guilherme Limberg, Andrew Pace, William Cerny | Summary: The metallicity distribution function and internal chemical variations of a galaxy are fundamental to understand its formation and assembly history. In this work, we analyze photometric metallicities for 3883 stars over seven half-light radii […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Ignas Juodžbalis, Roberto Maiolino, William M. Baker, Emma Curtis Lake, Jan Scholtz | Summary: The depth and coverage of the first years of JWST observations have revealed low luminosity active galactic nuclei (AGN) across a wide redshift range, shedding light on black hole (BH) assembly and feedback. […]

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Boyuan Wang, Runqi Ouyang, Xiaofeng Wang, Zheng Zhu, Guosheng Zhao | Summary: Single-image human reconstruction is vital for digital human modeling applications but remains an extremely challenging task. Current approaches rely on generative models to synthesize multi-view images for subsequent 3D reconstruction and animation. However, directly generating […]
Kavli Affiliate: Peter Ford | First 5 Authors: Grgur Kovač, Jérémy Perez, Rémy Portelas, Peter Ford Dominey, Pierre-Yves Oudeyer | Summary: Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly contributing to the creation of content on the Internet. This creates a feedback loop as subsequent generations of models will be trained on this generated, synthetic data. This […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Miller | First 5 Authors: Liyi Gu, Hiroya Yamaguchi, Adam Foster, Satoru Katsuda, Hiroyuki Uchida | Summary: XRISM has delivered one of its first light observations on N132D, the X-ray brightest supernova remnant in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Utilizing 193 ks of high-resolution X-ray spectroscopy data, we conduct a comprehensive search […]
Kavli Affiliate: Denis Wirtz | Authors: André Forjaz, Donald Kramer, Yu Shen, Habin Bea, Margarita Tsapatsis, Jianglu Ping, Vasco Queiroga, Kyu Sang Han, Saurabh Joshi, Casey Grubel, Maria L. Beery, Irina Kusmartseva, Mark A. Atkinson, Ashley L Kiemen and Denis Wirtz | Summary: Nuclear morphology is an indicator of cellular function and disease states, as […]
Kavli Affiliate: Seth Blackshaw | Authors: Leah J Elias, Harrison Khoo, Francois Kroll, Caroline Zhang, Soojung C Hur, Jason Rihel and Seth Blackshaw | Summary: While sleep deprivation broadly disrupts health and well-being, the neural and molecular mechanisms that signal increased sleep pressure remain poorly understood. A key obstacle to progress is the fact that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Damon Clark | Authors: Samuel Brudner, Baohua Zhou, Viraaj Jayaram, Gustavo Madeira Santana, Damon Clark and Thierry Emonet | Summary: Odor cues guide animals to food and mates. Different environmental conditions can create differently patterned odor plumes, making navigation more challenging. Prior work has shown that animals turn upwind when they detect odor […]
