Kavli Affiliate: David W. Miller | Summary:Current language-guided 3D object placement typically predicts a rigid 6-DoF pose, ignoring the physical reality that indoor placements are dictated by contact. Consequently, predicted poses often float, interpenetrate supports, or fail to deform soft surfaces. We propose Deformable Contact-Aware Placement (DCAP), a framework that reframes placement as a drop-to-equilibrium […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao| Summary:We study equatorial timelike geodesics and associated gravitational-wave (GW) emission for a static Horndeski black hole with secondary scalar hair, characterized by an effective pressure parameter $p_mathrmeff$. Using the rational-orbit taxonomy $(z,w,v)$, we analyze the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO), marginally bound orbit (MBO), and periodic bound orbits. We find that […]
Kavli Affiliate: David W. Miller | Summary:We present the first search for fixed-polarization dark photon (DP) dark matter in the 44-52$μmathrmeV$ mass range, corresponding to 10.7-12.5GHz. GigaBREAD is a room-temperature broadband dish antenna experiment in which DP convert to ordinary photons on a cylindrical metallic emission surface and are focused onto a radio-frequency receiver.
