HETDEX Public Data Release 1: Source Catalog 2 and Data Cubes from ~90 sq deg of Integral-Field Optical Spectroscopy

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | Summary:The Hobby-Eberly Telescope Dark Energy Experiment (HETDEX) is a wide-field, integral-field spectroscopic survey designed to map the large-scale distribution of Lyman-alpha emitting galaxies (LAEs) at 1.88 < z < 3.52 and constrain dark energy at cosmic noon. Using the 10-m Hobby-Eberly Telescope and the Visible Integral-Field Replicable Unit (IFU) Spectrograph, […]

Phasor EO-FLIM: Lifetime imaging with picosecond noise and 500 Hz frame rate

Posted by dbos UCSD / Salk

Kavli Affiliate: Kenta Asahina | Authors: Linghao Hu, Pingchuan Ma, Vaibhav Menon, Athira Sethu Madhavan, Kenta Asahina, Lena M. Müller and Adam J. Bowman | Summary: Fluorescence lifetime microscopy is limited by photon throughput, constraining the speed and dynamic range of biological measurements. We demonstrate a compact optical module and fast phasor acquisition methods to […]

Protocol for assessing lysosomal ion channel function in mammalian cells using lysosomal patch-clamp technique

Posted by dbos UCSF

Kavli Affiliate: Lily Jan | Authors: Yayu Wang and Lily Yeh Jan | Summary: This protocol describes manual whole-endolysosome patch-clamp recordings from pharmacologically or genetically enlarged endolysosomes in cultured mammalian cells. Steps include vesicle enlargement, fabrication and fire-polishing of high-resistance pipettes, mechanical dissection and isolation of enlarged vesicles, giga-seal formation, and configuration to whole-endolysosome modes. […]

Efficient Quantum Error Mitigation for Unitary k-Designs

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | Summary:Quantum circuit ensembles that have the properties of unitary k-designs represent applications where there is no obvious bias toward any particular Pauli support, as is the case in simulating systems exhibiting ”quantum chaos,” which range from quantum dynamics near black holes to gapless spin fluid analysis. However, noisy hardware makes […]

The impact of source and survey modelling on the connection between [O III] emitters and Ly $α$ forest transmission at z ~ 6

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Martin Haehnelt | Summary:James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) surveys of [O III]-emitting galaxies are offering fresh insight into the connection between galaxies and the intergalactic medium at redshift z ~ 6. Recent measurements of the cross-correlation between [O III]-emitting galaxies and Ly $α$ forest transmission present an apparent challenge to numerical models. Here […]

Quantum Matter Makes Lightcones Quantum

Posted by klaurent Tokyo

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | Summary:In gravitational physics, matter does not merely move within spacetime; it also determines the light cones that define causal relations. What happens when the matter that determines these light cones is itself in a quantum state? We address this question in a controlled low-energy setting: a massless scalar field propagating […]

Reversible Superdense Ordering of Tetragonal Lithium in a Layered Material

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Lynden Archer | Summary:Understanding lithium (Li) ordering and dynamics is foundational in energy storage. X-ray based experimental methods do not simultaneously provide atomic structure information together with chemical composition and local bonding information for lithium in solids. Here we employ scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) and combine imaging, spectroscopy, and diffraction within a […]

Bionic Human-Motion Style Transfer for Physically Executable Whole-Body Control of Humanoid Robots

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Expressive whole-body motion is important for humanoid robots operating in human environments, where robots are expected to move stably while presenting readable and adjustable body behaviors. However, most expressive motions are still obtained from fixed demonstrations or manually designed scripts, making it difficult to reuse a demonstrated style across different motion […]

The UV Side of Little Red Dots: Red, Compact, and Iron-Enhanced Rest-UV Emission with a Strong Downturn around Ly$α$

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | Summary:Little Red Dots (LRDs) are candidates for growing supermassive black holes newly discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), characterized by compact rest-optical morphology, V-shaped spectra, and broad Hydrogen Balmer lines. While recently proposed BH-star/envelope models have made progress in explaining their optical features, their rest-UV emission, which is […]

Human2Humanoid: Physics-Aware Cross-Morphology Motion Retargeting for Humanoid Robots

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:Retargeting human motion to humanoid robots is critical for teleoperation, imitation learning and human-robot interaction. However, it remains challenging because of substantial morphological discrepancies between humans and robots, including differences in skeletal topology, limb proportions and degrees of freedom, as well as the scarcity of paired motion data. This paper presents […]
