Kavli Affiliate: Giorgio Gratta | Summary:We report on the optimization of high voltage vacuum feedthroughs meant to minimize the electric field on the vacuum side of the device. We find that commercial feedthroughs generally have center conductor diameters which are too small, resulting in unnecessarily large fields. We study the problem with analytical calculations and […]

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | Summary:Modification of superconductor-dielectric interfaces is known to strongly impact coherence times of superconducting quantum devices. This relationship is thought to arise from differences in the concentration of "two-level system" defects in the disordered dielectrics and superconductor-dielectric interfaces; these defects couple to electromagnetic modes in the device and cause dissipation. Zirconium […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Mucida | Authors: Patrick W Darcy, Vitoria M Olyntho, Albana Kodra, Zachary Kerner, Maria C.C. Canesso, Sandra Nakandakari-Higa, Gabriel Victora and Daniel Mucida | Summary: Food allergies are associated with progressive gastrointestinal symptoms driven by exacerbated mucosal type-2 immunity. Here, we investigated whether cellular interactions between the gut epithelium and innate immune […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dimitri Mawet| Summary:(Extract from the Executive Summary) Humanity stands at the threshold of answering one of its most profound questions: Does life exist beyond Earth? Ongoing and upcoming space missions, together with powerful ground-based instruments, have prepared the way for a transformational next step – the detailed characterization of Earth analogs orbiting Sun-like […]

Kavli Affiliate: Linda Ye| Summary:Ferromagnetic metals are characterized by enhanced dissipationless transverse transport responses via the anomalous Hall effect, offering a route towards magnetic sensing and spintronic readout functionalities. In most ferromagnets, the anomalous Hall current is constrained to lie in the plane perpendicular to the magnetization (or applied magnetic field). Recently, it has been […]

Kavli Affiliate: Nathan P. Lourie | Summary:In March 2026, the Einstein Probe (EP) discovered its most nearby (z = 0.0343) Fast X-ray Transient (FXT), EP260321a, the first EP FXT to provide a strong match to expectations for X-ray "shock breakout’" (SBO) emission. Here, we present our multi-wavelength follow-up campaign of EP260321a and its broad-line Type […]
