Multistable energy landscapes for adaptive microscopic machines

Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | Summary:The past few years have seen great strides in our ability to build synthetic microscopic machines. However, the function of such machines is often controlled directly by externally applied fields that deterministically specify the instantaneous machine dynamics. A crucial step towards machines that can respond adaptively to changes in their […]

AGN STORM 2. XII. Ground-Based Optical Photometry and Lag Measurements of Mrk 817

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | Summary:We present the ground-based imaging campaign and light curves of Markarian 817 as part of the multiwavelength monitoring program AGN STORM,2. Observations were carried out over 1.4 years in emphuBgVriz filters, with a median cadence of 0.4 days in emphg. Reverberation lags are measured using three methods (ICCF, JAVELIN, and […]

Diversity and divergence of two sympatric, sibling octopus species

Kavli Affiliate: Scott Small | Authors: Gabrielle Coffing, Silas Tittes, Scott T Small and Andrew D. Kern | Summary: Coleoid cephalopods have convergently evolved many traits shared with vertebrates, including camera-type eyes, large brain-to-body size ratios, and complex behaviors. Most evolutionary studies of cephalopods have compared individual genomes of taxa that diverged tens to hundreds […]

Jet-driven shocks and turbulence in radio-loud Active Galactic Nuclei observed with JWST MIRI/MRS

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | Summary:Jet-cloud interactions are a key manifestation of Active Galactic Nucleus (AGN) feedback on nuclear scales, distinct from the large-scale radio-mode feedback that suppresses gas cooling in galaxy halos. On these smaller scales, radio jets can inject energy and momentum into the interstellar medium (ISM), shaping the physical and kinematic properties […]
