Kavli Affiliate: Vikram Chib | Authors: Agostina Casamento-Moran, Aram Kim, Joonhee Leo Lee and Vikram S. Chib | Summary: Physical fatigue influences our willingness to undertake effortful actions, yet the physiological signals driving this process are not well understood. We created a biofeedback paradigm to distinguish the effects of reduced muscle-force capacity from compensatory increases […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dimitri Mawet| Summary:We present new JWST/NIRCam 4-5 $μ$m (F410M, F430M) and JWST/MIRI 18-25 $μ$m (F1800W, F2100W, F2550W) imaging detections of the nearby (3.6 pc) cold (275 K) gas giant exoplanet $ε$ Ind Ab. The F2550W detection of $ε$ Ind Ab constitutes the longest wavelength image of an exoplanet acquired to date. Combining three […]

Young, Peter Zavodszky and Scott A. Small | Summary: The interaction of the endosomal sorting protein SORL1 with the retromer complex at endosomal membranes controls a recycling pathway whose dysfunction […]
Kavli Affiliate: David W. Miller | Summary:High-energy physics experiments face extreme data rates, requiring real-time trigger systems to reduce event throughput while preserving sensitivity to rare processes. Trigger systems are typically constructed as modular chains of sequentially optimised algorithms, including machine learning models. Each algorithm is optimised for a specific local objective with no guarantee […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:In the study of $α$ decay within the superheavy nuclear region ($Z geq 90$ and $N geq 140$), the $α$-particle preformation probability $P_α$ serves as a crucial physical quantity linking nuclear structure to decay observables. We introduce a phenomenological model incorporating the decay energy $Q_α$, mass number $A$, orbital angular momentum […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:$α$ decay is an important probe for studying the structure of heavy and superheavy nuclei, in which the $α$-particle preformation ($P_α$) is a key physical quantity for describing decay half-lives. This work develops a hybrid framework that integrates Bayesian neural networks with autoencoder (BNN-Auto), combined with the cosh potential (CPT), to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:In the present work, we propose an improved harmonic oscillator model to systematically evaluate the proton radioactivity half-lives in spherical nuclei, incorporating centrifugal potential effects. By fitting the experimental data, the centrifugal parameter $d = 0.143$ for the correction term $dl(l+1)$ and nuclear potential depth $V_0 = 62.4$ MeV are obtained. […]
