A parasitoid overcomes collective defense by silencing host communication

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Zheng-WU Wang, Chao Ye, Yi Zhong, Jin Zhao, Bo Zhang, Xinhai Ye, Kerry Oliver, Daniel Kronauer and Jin-Jun Wang | Summary: Gregarious insects communicate to coordinate group responses to danger, such as parasitoid attack. While parasitoids manipulate individual hosts through diverse virulence mechanisms, it remains unknown whether they can […]

Low Frequency Noise Identification for the SuperCDMS Experiment using Convolutional Neural Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | Summary:The SuperCDMS experiment uses semiconductor crystal detectors operated at cryogenic temperatures to search for low-mass dark matter. Vibrations observed during the SuperCDMS Soudan experiment generated broadband low-frequency noise (LFN), which due to its similarity in the pulse shape to the low-energy signal events is difficult to remove. In the final […]

MARTA: A “little” black hole hidden in a clumpy, metal-poor galaxy at z~3.8

Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | Summary:JWST has extended the search for accreting black holes into the high-redshift, low-mass regime. We report a low-mass black hole candidate in MARTA 3887, a clumpy, metal-poor galaxy at $z=3.7694$, combining deep JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy, HST and JWST imaging, and archival VLT/MUSE data. We detect a broad H$α$ component with $L_rm […]

EMBER: A Little Red Dot Candidate at $z_rm spec=10.36$ in the Seed Black Hole Era

Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | Summary:Little red dots (LRDs) are a newly discovered population that may trace rapidly growing black holes (BHs) and provide a link between seed BHs and luminous active galactic nuclei (AGNs). However, no LRD had previously been spectroscopically confirmed at $z>10$, leaving this earliest phase observationally unexplored. Using JWST/NIRSpec spectroscopy from […]

Control-Noise Trade-offs in Industrially Integrated $^28mathrmSi/mathrmSiGe$ Spin-1/2 Qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | Summary:Scaling silicon spin qubits to fault-tolerant processors requires semiconductor foundry integration, yet it remains unclear how industrial fabrication and dense device integration affect qubit control and noise. Here we study $^28mathrmSi/mathrmSiGe$ electron spin-1/2 qubits fabricated using Intel’s industry-compatible 300 mm process and incorporating micromagnets for electrically driven spin resonance, using […]

Observation-Specific Uncertainty Modeling for Latent-Variable Regression in High-Dimensional Analytical Data

Kavli Affiliate: Molly Stevens | Summary:Across many fields, including medical diagnostics, process monitoring, and quality control, decisions often rely on point predictions for single samples. Observation-specific uncertainty is needed to assess the risk of decision error when predictions are compared with thresholds. Latent-variable regression is widely used for such predictions, but observation-specific uncertainty remains difficult […]
