Broad line regions behind haze: Intrinsic shape of Br$γ$ line and its origin in a type-1 Seyfert galaxy

Posted by klaurent January 12, 2026Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Jinyi Shangguan | Summary:The broad-line region (BLR) of active galactic nuclei (AGN) is an essential component, yet its small size keeps its origin, structure, and kinematics uncertain. Infrared interferometry with VLTI/GRAVITY is now resolving BLR-scale emission, with data for NGC 3783 consistent with a rotating, geometrically thick configuration. However, the processes shaping the […]

A search for feebly-interacting particles in $B$ decays with missing energy at Belle

Posted by klaurent January 12, 2026February 17, 2026Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Hsiao-Mei (Sherry) Cho| First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1, [#item_custom_name[2, [#item_custom_name[3, [#item_custom_name[4, [#item_custom_name[5| Summary:We present a search for an invisible hidden-sector particle $ X_rminv$, produced in $B^0 to barD^0 X_rminv$ and $B^pmto h X_rminv$ decays, where $h = π^pm$, $K^pm$, $D_s^pm$, $p^pm$. The search is performed using $e^+ e^-$ collision data recorded with the Belle […]

Ferromagnetic Insulator to Metal Transition in Non-Centrosymmetric Graphene Nanoribbons

Posted by klaurent January 11, 2026Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Felix Fischer | Summary:Engineering sublattice imbalance within the unit cell of bottom-up synthesized graphene nanoribbons (GNRs) represents a versatile tool for realizing custom-tailored quantum nanomaterials. The interaction between low-energy zero-modes (ZMs) not only contributes to frontier bands but can form the basis for magnetically ordered phases. Here, we present the bottom-up synthesis of […]

Synthesis of epitaxial TaO$_2$ thin films on Al$_2$O$_3$ by suboxide molecular-beam epitaxy and thermal laser epitaxy

Posted by klaurent January 10, 2026Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: David Muller | Summary:Tantalum dioxide (TaO2) is a metastable tantalum compound. Here, we report the epitaxial stabilization of TaO2 on Al2O3 (1-102) (r-plane sapphire) substrates using suboxide molecular-beam epitaxy (MBE) and thermal laser epitaxy (TLE), demonstrating single-oriented, monodomain growth of anisotropically strained thin films. Microstructural investigation is performed using synchrotron X-ray diffraction and […]

Mechanisms of alkali ionic transport in amorphous oxyhalides solid state conductors

Posted by klaurent January 10, 2026Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Gerbrand Ceder| Summary:Amorphous oxyhalides have attracted significant attention due to their relatively high ionic conductivity ($>$1 mS cm$^-1$), excellent chemical stability, mechanical softness, and facile synthesis routes via standard solid-state reactions. These materials exhibit an ionic conductivity that is almost independent of the underlying chemistry, in stark contrast to what occurs in crystalline […]
