Single-Cell Raman Profiling Enables Rapid Precision Phage Therapy Against Multidrug-Resistant Hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae

Posted by dbos January 26, 2026February 10, 2026Columbia, UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Min | Authors: Beimin Liu, Chao Wang, Qingyang Zeng, Min Wei, Weilai Lu, Xueyan Gao, Jing Wan, Jie Feng and Yu Vincent Fu | Summary: Multidrug-resistant hypervirulent Klebsiella pneumoniae (MDR-hvKP) poses a severe global health threat. Phage therapy is a promising alternative, but requires precise matching of phage to the bacterial strain. […]

Sonogenetic control of cardiomyocytes and cardiac pacing using exogenous Transient Receptor Potential A1 channels

Posted by dbos January 26, 2026February 10, 2026UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Lei Zhang, Jing Zhang, Tsui-Min Wang, Callum Walsh, Farah Sheikh, Sreekanth H. Chalasani and James Friend | Summary: Electronic cardiac pacemakers are the standard of care for treating arrhythmias but, even for wireless pacemakers, they require an intracardiac implant procedure and are invasive. Lead-related complications, including life-threatening infections, and […]

Frequency- and time-resolved second order quantum coherence function of IDTBT single-molecule fluorescence

Posted by klaurent January 26, 2026Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Graham Fleming | Summary:The frequency- and time-resolved second order quantum coherence function (g(2)(τ)) of single-molecule fluorescence has recently been proposed as a powerful new quantum light spectroscopy that can reveal intrinsic quantum coherence in excitation energy transfer in molecular systems ranging from simple dimers to photosynthetic complexes. Yet, no experiments have been reported […]

Physical and Chemical Characterization of GY 91’s Multi-ringed Protostellar Disk with ALMA

Posted by klaurent January 26, 2026April 1, 2026Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Long| Summary: GY 91, commonly categorized as a Class I young stellar object, is notable for disk dust substructures that have been hypothesized to trace early planet formation. Using the ALMA 12-m and ACA arrays, we present new Band 7 dust continuum and molecular line observations of GY 91 at an angular […]

Evidence for a Peak at $sim$0.3 in the Eccentricity Distribution of Typical Super-Jovian Exoplanets

Posted by klaurent January 26, 2026Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | Summary:In this study, we compute completeness-corrected occurrence rates of giant exoplanets as a function of mass, semimajor axis, and eccentricity, using the approximately uniform California Legacy Survey sample of RV-discovered planets published in Rosenthal et al. 2021. We recover the previously-detected rise in occurrence with semimajor axis for both lower- […]

The AIDA-TNG project: gas distributions inside and around haloes

Posted by klaurent January 26, 2026MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | Summary:The nature of Dark Matter (DM) is one of the most outstanding mysteries of modern astrophysics. While the standard Cold DM (CDM) model successfully explains observations on most astrophysical scales, DM particles have not yet been detected, leaving room for a plethora of different models. In order to identify their […]

Magnetic Signatures of a Putative Fractional Topological Insulator in Twisted MoTe2

Posted by klaurent January 26, 2026February 17, 2026Stanford

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:The interplay among electronic correlation, topology, and time-reversal-symmetry (TRS) often leads to exotic quantum states of matter. Primary examples include the recently realized fractional Chern insulators (FCIs) in twisted MoTe2 bilayers (tMoTe2) and multilayer graphene aligned with hBN, where TRS is broken […]

BASTION: A Bayesian Framework for Trend and Seasonality Decomposition

Posted by klaurent January 26, 2026February 17, 2026Stanford

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:We introduce BASTION (Bayesian Adaptive Seasonality and Trend DecompositION), a flexible Bayesian framework for decomposing time series into trend and multiple seasonality components. We cast the decomposition as a penalized nonparametric regression and establish formal conditions under which the trend and seasonal […]
