Fluctuations can induce local nematic order and extensile stress in monolayers of motile cells

Kavli Affiliate: Boris I. Shraiman | First 5 Authors: Farzan Vafa, Mark J. Bowick, Boris I. Shraiman, M. Cristina Marchetti, | Summary: Recent experiments in various cell types have shown that two-dimensional tissues often display local nematic order, with evidence of extensile stresses manifest in the dynamics of topological defects. Using a mesoscopic model where […]

Out of Control: Reducing Probabilistic Models by Control-State Elimination

Kavli Affiliate: Johannes Lehmann | First 5 Authors: Tobias Winkler, Johannes Lehmann, Joost-Pieter Katoen, , | Summary: State-of-the-art probabilistic model checkers perform verification on explicit-state Markov models defined in a high-level programming formalism like the PRISM modeling language. Typically, the low-level models resulting from such program-like specifications exhibit lots of structure such as repeating subpatterns. […]

Effect on Dark Matter Exclusion Limits from New Silicon Photoelectric Absorption Measurements

Kavli Affiliate: Blas Cabrera | First 5 Authors: Belina von Krosigk, Matthew J. Wilson, Chris Stanford, Blas Cabrera, Robert Calkins | Summary: Recent breakthroughs in cryogenic silicon detector technology allow for the observation of single electron-hole pairs released via particle interactions within the target material. This implies sensitivity to energy depositions as low as the […]

Self-assembling kinetics: Accessing a new design space via differentiable statistical-physics models

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brenner | First 5 Authors: Carl P. Goodrich, Ella M. King, Samuel S. Schoenholz, Ekin D. Cubuk, Michael Brenner | Summary: The inverse problem of designing component interactions to target emergent structure is fundamental to numerous applications in biotechnology, materials science, and statistical physics. Equally important is the inverse problem of designing […]

Dark Matter Interpretation of the Fermi-LAT Observations Toward the Outer Halo of M31

Kavli Affiliate: Igor Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Chris Karwin, Simona Murgia, Igor Moskalenko, Sean Fillingham, Anne-Katherine Burns | Summary: An excess $gamma$-ray signal toward the outer halo of M31 has recently been reported. Although other explanations are plausible, the possibility that it arises from dark matter (DM) is valid. In this work we interpret […]

Two Candidate High-Redshift X-ray Jets Without Coincident Radio Jets

Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | First 5 Authors: Daniel Schwartz, Aneta Siemiginowska, Brad Snios, Diana Worrall, Mark Birkinshaw | Summary: We report the detection of extended X-ray emission from two high-redshift radio quasars. These quasars, J1405+0415 at $z$=3.208 and J1610+1811 at $z$=3.118, were observed in a Chandra snapshot survey selected from a complete sample of […]
