Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Janak | Authors: Eric Garr, Yifeng Cheng, Andy Dong and Patricia H. Janak | Summary: It is commonly thought that drug addiction involves a transition to habitual control of action, where the choice to consume drugs becomes automatized and reflects a failure to deliberate over possible negative outcomes. Determining whether the pursuit […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Isobel S. Lockley, David J. Armstrong, Jorge Fernández Fernández, Sarah Millholland, Henrik Knierim | Summary: We present the discovery of three sub-Neptune planets around TOI-1117, a Sun-like star with mass $0.97pm0.02M_{odot}$, radius $1.05pm0.03R_{odot}$, age $4.42pm1.50$ Gyr and effective temperature $5635pm62$ K. Light curves from TESS and LCOGT […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Joe Davighi, Serah Moldovsky, Hitoshi Murayama, Christiane Scherb, Nudzeim Selimovic | Summary: We point out that a QCD-like dark sector can be coupled to the Standard Model by gauging the topological Skyrme current, which measures the dark baryon number in the infrared, to give a technically natural […]
Kavli Affiliate: Johannes Lehmann | First 5 Authors: Christel Baier, Rio Klatt, Sascha Klüppelholz, Johannes Lehmann, | Summary: As the complexity of software systems rises, methods for explaining their behaviour are becoming ever-more important. When a system fails, it is critical to determine which of its components are responsible for this failure. Within the verification […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Hao Jiang, Chuan Hu, Yukang Shi, Yuan He, Ke Wang | Summary: Vision-Language Models (VLMs) offer a promising approach to end-to-end autonomous driving due to their human-like reasoning capabilities. However, troublesome gaps remains between current VLMs and real-world autonomous driving applications. One major limitation is that existing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kejia Lee | First 5 Authors: Siyuan Chen, Heng Xu, Yanjun Guo, Bojun Wang, R. Nicolas Caballero | Summary: The Chinese Pulsar Timing Array (CPTA) has collected observations from 57 millisecond pulsars using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical Radio Telescope (FAST) for close to three years, for the purpose of searching for gravitational waves […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Davide Costa, Karina Hudson, Patrick Del Vecchio, Lucas E. A. Stehouwer, Alberto Tosato | Summary: Ge and Si strained quantum wells have enabled the most advanced spin-qubit quantum processors, but they are deposited on defective, metamorphic SiGe substrates, which may impact device performance and scaling. Here we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Moritz Guenther | First 5 Authors: Attila Varga, Joel H. Kastner, Alexander S. Binks, Hans Moritz Guenther, Simon J. Murphy | Summary: The mid-M star TOI~1227 hosts among the youngest known transiting exoplanets. We have conducted new X-ray imaging and optical spectroscopic observations of TOI 1227 aimed at ascertaining its age and the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Kessler | First 5 Authors: Richard Kessler, Rebekah Hounsell, Bhavin Joshi, David Rubin, Masao Sako | Summary: Within the next few years, the upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope will be gathering data for the High Latitude Time Domain Survey (HLTDS) that will be used to significantly improve the Type Ia supernova […]
