Structure and dynamics of motor-driven microtubule bundles

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel J. Needleman | First 5 Authors: Bezia Lemma, Linnea Lemma, Stephanie C. Ems-McClung, Claire E. Walczak, Zvonimir Dogic | Summary: Connecting the large-scale emergent behaviors of active materials to the microscopic properties of their constituents is a challenge due to a lack of data on the multiscale dynamics and structure of such […]

Platform-agnostic waveguide integration of high-speed photodetectors with evaporated tellurium thin films

Kavli Affiliate: Ali Javey | First 5 Authors: Geun Ho Ahn, Alexander D. White, Hyungjin Kim, Naoki Higashitarumizu, Felix M. Mayor | Summary: Many attractive photonics platforms still lack integrated photodetectors due to inherent material incompatibilities and lack of process scalability, preventing their widespread deployment. Here we address the problem of scalably integrating photodetectors in […]

Quantum precision limits of displacement noise free interferometers

Kavli Affiliate: Rana X. Adhikari | First 5 Authors: Tuvia Gefen, Rajashik Tarafder, Rana X. Adhikari, Yanbei Chen, | Summary: Current laser-interferometric gravitational wave detectors suffer from a fundamental limit to their precision due to the displacement noise of optical elements contributed by various sources. Several schemes for Displacement-Noise Free Interferometers (DFI) have been proposed […]

Experimental Investigation of Drain Noise in High Electron Mobility Transistors: Thermal and Hot Electron Noise

Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Bekari Gabritchidze, Kieran A. Cleary, Anthony C. Readhead, Austin J. Minnich, | Summary: We report the on-wafer characterization of $S$-parameters and microwave noise temperature ($T_{50}$) of discrete metamorphic InGaAs high electron mobility transistors (mHEMTs) at 40 K and 300 K and over a range of drain-source […]

Finite-Time Error Bounds for Greedy-GQ

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yue Wang, Yi Zhou, Shaofeng Zou, , | Summary: Greedy-GQ with linear function approximation, originally proposed in cite{maei2010toward}, is a value-based off-policy algorithm for optimal control in reinforcement learning, and it has a non-linear two timescale structure with the non-convex objective function. This paper develops its tightest […]

Single-Molecule Structure and Topology of Kinetoplast DNA Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Pinyao He, Allard J. Katan, Luca Tubiana, Cees Dekker, Davide Michieletto | Summary: The Kinetoplast DNA (kDNA) is a two-dimensional Olympic-ring-like network of mutually linked 2.5 kb-long DNA minicircles found in certain parasites called Trypanosomes. Understanding the self-assembly and replication of this structure are not only major […]

GPI 2.0: Characterizing Self-Luminous Exoplanets Through Low-Resolution Infrared Spectroscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Arlene Aleman | First 5 Authors: Arlene Aleman, Bruce Macintosh, Mary Anne Limbach, Mark Marley, Jeffrey Chilcote | Summary: Direct imaging characterization of extrasolar planets is often done at low spectral resolution. We model the spectrograph for the Gemini Planet Imager upgrade (GPI 2.0) and assess the instrument’s potential for allowing observers to […]
