Kavli Affiliate: Cynthia F. Moss | Authors: Nikita M Finger, Keegan E Eveland, Xiaoyan Yin and Cynthia F Moss | Summary: Echolocating bats can navigate complex 3D environments by integrating prior knowledge of spatial layouts and real-time sensory cues. This study demonstrates that inattentional blindness to sensory information undermines successful navigation in Egyptian fruit bats, […]

De Florencio, Lauren Chao, Yonatan Perez, Lea Tenenholz Grinberg, Salvatore Spina, Richard M Ransohoff, Arnold Kriegstein, William W Seeley, Tomasz J. Nowakowski and Xianhua Piao | Summary: Germline genetic architecture of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) indicates microglial […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Kishalay De, Morgan MacLeod, Jacob E. Jencson, Elizabeth Lovegrove, Andrea Antoni | Summary: Stellar mass black holes are formed from the terminal collapse of massive stars if the ensuing neutrino shock is unable to eject the stellar envelope. Direct observations of black hole formation remain inconclusive. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: William M. Baker, Seunghwan Lim, Francesco D’Eugenio, Roberto Maiolino, Zhiyuan Ji | Summary: We use NIRSpec/MSA spectroscopy and NIRCam imaging to study a sample of 18 massive ($log; M_{*}/M_{odot} gt 10;$dex), central quiescent galaxies at $2leq z leq 5$ in the GOODS fields, to investigate their number […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Joshua Engels, Logan Riggs, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are a promising technique for decomposing language model activations into interpretable linear features. However, current SAEs fall short of completely explaining model performance, resulting in "dark matter": unexplained variance in activations. This work investigates dark […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nathan P. Lourie | First 5 Authors: Geoffrey Mo, Kishalay De, Eli Wiston, Nayana A. J., Raffaella Margutti | Summary: Type Ia supernovae arise from the thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs in multiple star systems. A rare sub-class of SNe Ia exhibit signatures of interaction with circumstellar material (CSM), allowing for direct constraints […]

Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Niayesh Afshordi, Abhay Ashtekar, Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Richard Brito | Summary: The gravitational physics landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by our ability to study strong-field regions, in particular black holes. Black Holes Inside and Out gathered world experts to discuss the status of the field and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Alexander Venner, Qier An, Chelsea X. Huang, Timothy D. Brandt, Robert A. Wittenmyer | Summary: As exoplanet surveys reach ever-higher sensitivities and durations, planets analogous to the solar system giant planets are increasingly within reach. HD 28185 is a Sun-like star known to host a $msin i=6 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zhang, Dujian Ding, , , | Summary: Large Language Models (LLMs) have revolutionized natural language processing and hold immense potential for advancing Artificial Intelligence. However, the core architecture of most mainstream LLMs — the Transformer — has inherent limitations in computational depth, rendering them theoretically incapable […]
