Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Lior Michaeli, Ramon Gao, Michael D. Kelzenberg, Claudio U. Hail, Adrien Merkt | Summary: Ultrathin lightsails propelled by laser radiation pressure to relativistic speeds are currently the most promising route for flyby-based exoplanet exploration. However, there has been a notable lack of experimental characterization of key […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Michele L. Silverstein, Thomas Barclay, Joshua E. Schlieder, Karen A. Collins, Richard P. Schwarz | Summary: The nearby LHS 1678 (TOI-696) system contains two confirmed planets and a wide-orbit, likely-brown-dwarf companion, which orbit an M2 dwarf with a unique evolutionary history. The host star occupies a narrow […]

Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Junyao Li, John D. Silverman, Yue Shen, Marta Volonteri, Knud Jahnke | Summary: JWST is revealing a new remarkable population of high-redshift ($zgtrsim4$), low-luminosity Active Galactic Nuclei (AGNs) in deep surveys and detecting the host galaxy stellar light in the most luminous and massive quasars at […]
Kavli Affiliate: Darrell G. Schlom | First 5 Authors: Jacob P. Ruf, Hilary M. L. Noad, Romain Grasset, Ludi Miao, Elina Zhakina | Summary: In bulk Sr$_{2}$RuO$_{4}$, the strong sensitivity of the superconducting transition temperature $T_{text{c}}$ to nonmagnetic impurities provides robust evidence for a superconducting order parameter that changes sign around the Fermi surface. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Bingchen Li, Xin Li, Hanxin Zhu, Yeying Jin, Ruoyu Feng | Summary: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) have been widely used to recover vivid textures in image super-resolution (SR) tasks. In particular, one discriminator is utilized to enable the SR network to learn the distribution of real-world […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Alberto Bordin, Chun-Xiao Liu, Tom Dvir, Francesco Zatelli, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf | Summary: Majorana zero modes (MZMs) are non-Abelian excitations predicted to emerge at the edges of topological superconductors. One proposal for realizing a topological superconductor in one dimension involves a chain of spinless fermions, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wendy L. Freedman | First 5 Authors: Abigail J. Lee, Andrew J. Monson, Wendy L. Freedman, Barry F. Madore, Kayla A. Owens | Summary: We present near-infrared JHK photometry for the resolved stellar populations in 13 nearby galaxies: NGC 6822, IC 1613, NGC 3109, Sextans B, Sextans A, NGC 300, NGC 55, NGC […]
