Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Zhen Cao, F. Aharonian, Q. An, Axikegu, Y. X. Bai | Summary: For decades, supernova remnants (SNRs) have been considered the prime sources of Galactic Cosmic rays (CRs). But whether SNRs can accelerate CR protons to PeV energies and thus dominate CR flux up to the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Utkarsh Giri, Bridget C. Andersen, Pragya Chawla, Alice P. Curtin, Emmanuel Fonseca | Summary: The bright millisecond-duration radio burst from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154 in 2020 April was a landmark event, demonstrating that at least some fast radio burst (FRB) sources could be magnetars. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eric D. Siggia | Authors: Archishman Raju and Eric Siggia | Summary: The lineage decision that generates the epiblast and primitive endoderm from the inner cell mass (ICM) is a paradigm for cell fate specification. Recent mathematics has formalized Waddington’s landscape metaphor and proven that lineage decisions in detailed gene network models must […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Jose Alonso Carpio, Nick Ekanger, Mukul Bhattacharya, Kohta Murase, Shunsaku Horiuchi | Summary: Rapidly rotating and strongly magnetized protoneutron stars (PNSs) created in core-collapse supernovae can drive relativistic magnetized winds. Ions and neutrons can be co-accelerated while they remain coupled through elastic collisions. We investigate the nucleosynthesis […]

Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Jurgen Dijkema, Xiao Xue, Patrick Harvey-Collard, Maximilian Rimbach-Russ, Sander L. de Snoo | Summary: Direct interactions between quantum particles naturally fall off with distance. For future-proof qubit architectures, however, it is important to avail of interaction mechanisms on different length scales. In this work, we utilize a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Ruichao Yang, Wei Gao, Jing Ma, Hongzhan Lin, Zhiwei Yang | Summary: In recent years, we witness the explosion of false and unconfirmed information (i.e., rumors) that went viral on social media and shocked the public. Rumors can trigger versatile, mostly controversial stance expressions among social media […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Tianchun Wang, Dongsheng Luo, Wei Cheng, Haifeng Chen, Xiang Zhang | Summary: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) resurge as a trending research subject owing to their impressive ability to capture representations from graph-structured data. However, the black-box nature of GNNs presents a significant challenge in terms of comprehending […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Ciro Pinto, James F. Steiner, Arash Bodaghee, Priyanka Chakraborty, Malgosia Sobolewska | Summary: We investigate outflows and the physics of super-Eddington versus sub-Eddington regimes in black hole systems. Our focus is on prospective science using next-generation high-resolution soft X-ray instruments. We highlight the properties of black hole […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: TRAPPIST-1 JWST Community Initiative, :, Julien de Wit, René Doyon, Benjamin V. Rackham | Summary: Ultra-cool dwarf stars are abundant, long-lived, and uniquely suited to enable the atmospheric study of transiting terrestrial companions with JWST. Amongst them, the most prominent is the M8.5V star TRAPPIST-1 and its […]
