Kavli Affiliate: Rana Adhikari | Summary:Gravitational wave observatories are large scale laser interferometers which are held on resonance to facilitate the detection of gravitational waves. Achieving this resonant condition is a time consuming process, and in the LIGO gravitational-wave observatories this procedure has a relatively low success rate. This limitation leads to a loss of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vanessa Ruta | Authors: Navid Paknejad, Dragana Nesic, Beth Graczyk, Jackson Rogow, Mackenzie A. Yedlin, Chidera Udedibia, Joel Butterwick and Vanessa Ruta | Summary: Insects detect the chemical world using a large family of odorant-gated ion channels, each formed from a variable odorant-binding subunit (OR) and a single conserved co-receptor Orco. This modular […]

Kavli Affiliate: Rafael Yuste | Authors: Dean Geckt, Netanel Ofer, Michael W Reimann, Rafael Yuste and Idan Segev | Summary: Dendritic spines are the principal postsynaptic targets of excitatory synapses, yet the network logic governing their organization and contribution to cortical computation remains unclear. Here, we combine the MICrONS ultrastructural reconstruction of mouse visual cortex […]

Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Hao Wu, Upneet Kaur, Chengmin Li, Elise N. Munoz, Geeta J. Narlikar and Yifan Cheng | Summary: ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzymes play central roles in genome regulation by mobilizing nucleosomes. All remodelers except for one, position their core ATPase at an internal nucleosome location, superhelical location (SHL) 2, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stephen Strittmatter | Authors: Francesca Mandino, Taekyung Kang, Xilin Shen, Corey Horien, Xenophon Papademetris, Stephen M. Strittmatter and Evelyn MR Lake | Summary: Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can be applied in mice and humans making it a key technology in translational neuroimaging research. Yet, most fMRI studies in rodents use anesthesia to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:Ly-alpha emission is widely used to trace cosmic reionization, but its interpretation depends on how Ly-alpha visibility varies with galaxy environment. We use deep JWST/NIRSpec observations from Deep Insights into UV Spectroscopy at the Epoch of Reionization (DIVER) in GOODS-N to measure Ly-alpha visibility for 250 galaxies at 4.8<z<11. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | Summary:Recent JWST observations have revealed diverse high-redshift galaxy morphologies, including a population with irregular and clumpy structures. The physical origin of these structures, and the extent to which observational biases shape their appearance, remain uncertain. We present a power-spectrum-based method for quantifying galaxy clumpiness across spatial scales, using the radiation-hydrodynamic […]
