Kavli Affiliate: Michael Fausnaugh | First 5 Authors: Lydia Makrygianni, Iair Arcavi, Megan Newsome, Ananya Bandopadhyay, Eric R. Coughlin | Summary: Flares produced following the tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes can reveal the properties of the otherwise dormant majority of black holes and the physics of accretion. In the past decade, a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Minghui Du, Pengcheng Wang, Ziren Luo, Wen-Biao Han, Xin Zhang | Summary: Taiji, a Chinese space-based gravitational wave detection project, aims to explore the millihertz gravitational wave universe with unprecedented sensitivity, targeting astrophysical and cosmological sources including Galactic binaries, massive black hole binaries, extreme mass-ratio inspirals, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Feng Liu, Lixin Zou, Xiangyu Zhao, Min Tang, Liming Dong | Summary: Generative models, particularly diffusion model, have emerged as powerful tools for sequential recommendation. However, accurately modeling user preferences remains challenging due to the noise perturbations inherent in the forward and reverse processes of diffusion-based methods. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Rachel Bowens-Rubin, James Mang, Mary Anne Limbach, Aarynn L. Carter, Kevin B. Stevenson | Summary: NIRCam and MIRI coronagraphy have successfully demonstrated the ability to directly image young sub-Jupiter mass and mature gas-giant exoplanets. However, these modes struggle to reach the sensitivities needed to find the population […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: P Monroe Butler, Anna Francis, Angela L Meunier, Amirah K Anderson, Elizabeth L Hennessey, Michael B Miller, Cynthia A Lemere, Dennis J Selkoe and Andrew M Stern | Summary: Importance Anti-amyloid immunotherapy is used to treat Alzheimer disease (AD) with moderate benefits and potentially serious side effects due to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Omri Lesser, Sagnik Banerjee, Xuepeng Wang, Jaewon Kim, Ehud Altman | Summary: It is well known that disorder can induce low-energy Andreev bound states in a sign-changing, but fully gapped, superconductor at $pi-$junctions. Generically, these excitations are localized. Starting from a superconductor with a sign-changing and nodeless […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Eric J. Michaud, Asher Parker-Sartori, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: We study the problem of creating strong, yet narrow, AI systems. While recent AI progress has been driven by the training of large general-purpose foundation models, the creation of smaller models specialized for narrow domains could be […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daeyeol Lee | Authors: Hyojung Seo, Daeyeol Lee and Shanna K Murray | Summary: The dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) and lateral intraparietal cortex (LIP) in the primate brain are critically involved in working memory during tasks that require the retention of information over a delay. These same regions have also been implicated in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexandra Nelson | Authors: Rodrigo M Paz, Michael B Ryan, Pamela F Marcott, Allison E Girasole, Joseph Faryean, Vincent Duong, Sadhana Sridhar and Alexandra B Nelson | Summary: The use of levodopa to manage Parkinson’s disease (PD) symptoms leads to levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID) and other motor fluctuations, which worsen with disease progression and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Kangli Wang, Shihao Li, Qianxi Yi, Wei Gao, | Summary: Recently, immersive media and autonomous driving applications have significantly advanced through 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS), which offers high-fidelity rendering and computational efficiency. Despite these advantages, 3DGS as a display-oriented representation requires substantial storage due to its numerous […]
