Kavli Affiliate: Gabor Furesz | Summary:The Lazuli Space Observatory is a 3-meter aperture astronomical facility designed for rapid-response observations and precision astrophysics across visible to near-infrared wavelengths (400-1700 nm bandpass). An off-axis, freeform telescope delivers diffraction-limited image quality (Strehl $>$0.8 at 633 nm) to three instruments across a wide, flat focal plane. The three instruments […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Long| Summary: Pebble drift is an important mechanism for supplying the materials needed to build planets in the inner region of protoplanetary disks. Thus, constraining pebble drift’s timescales and mass flux is essential to understanding planet formation history. Current pebble drift models suggest pebble fluxes can be constrained from the enhancement of […]
Endothelial type I interferon signaling modulates the vascular response to ischemic brain injury Kavli Affiliate: Cory Miller | Authors: Arthur Lefevre, Vikram Pal Singh, Timothy Tyree, Jingwen Li, Jean-Rene Duhamel and Cory Miller | Summary: The Cocktail Party Problem (CPP) – extracting meaningful signals amid competing voices – remains poorly understood at the neural level, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | Summary:Quantum device measurements are powerful tools to probe dark matter interactions. Among these, transmon qubits stand out for their ability to suppress external noise while remaining highly sensitive to tiny energy deposits. Ambient galactic halo dark matter interacting with electrons can deposit energy in the qubit, leading to changes in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | Summary:In order to solve the strong CP problem, we study the possibility that the Peccei–Quinn symmetry is broken it below/ the QCD scale. We find that a QCD axion can be above GeV, and may be among the observed $η$ resonances. It is immune to quantum gravity corrections. The only […]
Kavli Affiliate: Thomas Crawford | Summary:We have extended the origin-invariant length gauge (LG(OI)) approach — originally developed by Caricato and co-workers for optical rotation (OR) and electronic circular dichroism (ECD) — to vibrational circular dichroism (VCD). This approach avoids the need for gauge-including atomic orbitals (GIAOs), which are typically required to circumvent the unphysical dependence […]
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:In this work, we study the nucleon-antinucleon system in a constituent quark model. We first construct the nucleon-antinucleon wave function such that the multiquark and multiantiquark components each satisfy the Pauli exclusion principle, and then investigate the possibility of a bound state […]
