Kavli Affiliate: John Silverman | Summary:We present ALMA Band 7 dust continuum observations of 57 massive ($M_ast gtrsim 10^10.8~M_odot$) star-forming galaxies at $1.45<z<1.70$, selected from the FMOS-COSMOS survey to provide a homogeneous sample near the main sequence (MS) at cosmic noon. The observations are sufficiently deep to yield $>3σ$ detections for 55 galaxies. Combining the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | Summary:We study the nonlinear wave dynamics of one-dimensional chains of polycatenated rings. These interlocked structures support amplitude-dependent nonlinear wave propagation driven by tensile activation and internal structural flexibility, unlike traditional granular crystals. Through dynamic impact experiments, finite-element modeling, and discrete-particle simulations of vertical chains pretensioned by gravity, we observe and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis Ho | Summary:Obscuration from clumpy accretion-disk winds has been invoked to explain the extreme X-ray weakness and X-ray variability observed in a substantial fraction of super-Eddington accreting quasars. We present a comprehensive study of the strong X-ray variability of the super-Eddington accreting active galactic nucleus (AGN) I Zwicky 1 (I Zw 1), […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Proactive task-oriented dialogue (TOD), such as outbound sales, demands a persuasive agent that actively probes the user’s concerns and steers the conversation toward acceptance within a bounded number of turns. Yet post-trained LLMs are inherently conservative, and reward-shaping RL (e.g., GRPO) struggles since it only re-weights what an already passive policy […]

Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | Summary:We identify an intrinsic zero-temperature relaxation channel for near-surface spins gyromagnetically coupled to Rayleigh-wave vorticity. This surface-mode contribution requires no thermal phonons, unlike Raman relaxation, and is fixed by Rayleigh vorticity rather than material-specific $g$-factor modulation. The Rayleigh-vorticity bath is super-Ohmic and evanescent with depth, producing field and depth scalings […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ya Blanter | Summary:Generating usable output-entanglement in continuous variable systems can serve as a viable resource for improving applications in quantum information science. In this work, we show how to generate steady-state output-entanglement in a two-stage conversion setup between optical and microwave photon which employs resonantly coupled magnetic and mechanical excitations, as proposed […]

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:We present the galaxy stellar population catalogue from the JWST Advanced Deep Extragalactic Survey (JADES) Data Release 5 (DR5), providing homogeneous Bayesian inference of physical galaxy properties in GOODS-N and GOODS-S. Using deep JWST/NIRCam and MIRI imaging combined with ancillary multi-wavelength data, we model the spectral energy distributions of ~500,000 […]
