Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Yeonsu Jung, Thomas Plumb-Reyes, Hao-Yu Greg Lin, L. Mahadevan, | Summary: Random packings of stiff rods are self-supporting mechanical structures stabilized by long range interactions induced by contacts. To understand the geometrical and topological complexity of the packings, we deploy X-ray computerized tomography to unveil the structure […]

Mahadevan, | Summary: Random packings of stiff rods are self-supporting mechanical structures stabilized by their geometrical and topological complexity. To understand why, we deploy X-ray computerized tomography to unveil the structure of the packing. This allows us to define […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Zhi Li, Min Du, Victor P. Debattista, Juntai Shen, Hui Li | Summary: Gas flows in the presence of two independently-rotating nested bars remain not fully understood, which is likely to play an important role in fueling the central black hole. We use high-resolution hydrodynamical simulations with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Takamori Park, Leon Balents, , , | Summary: Inspired by the recent work by Delacretaz et. al., we rigorously derive an exact and simple method to bosonize a non-interacting fermionic system with a Fermi surface starting from a microscopic Hamiltonian. In the long-wavelength limit, we show that […]

Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Sihan Yuan, Tom Abel, Risa H. Wechsler, , | Summary: We present the methodology for deriving accurate and reliable cosmological constraints from non-linear scales (<50Mpc/h) with k-th nearest neighbor (kNN) statistics. We detail our methods for choosing robust minimum scale cuts and validating galaxy-halo connection models. Using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: François Mernier, Yuanyuan Su, Maxim Markevitch, Congyao Zhang, Aurora Simionescu | Summary: Synthesized in the cores of stars and supernovae, most metals disperse over cosmic scales and are ultimately deposited well outside the gravitational potential of their host galaxies. Since their presence is well visible through their […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert E. Clark | Authors: Georgia Isom, Benjamin F Cooper, Robert Clark, Anju Kudhail, Damian Charles Ekiert, Gira Bhabha and Syma Khalid | Summary: The outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria provides a formidable barrier, essential for both pathogenesis and antimicrobial resistance. Biogenesis of the outer membrane requires the transport of phospholipids across the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Claire E. Williams, William Lake, Smadar Naoz, Blakesley Burkhart, Tommaso Treu | Summary: The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is capable of probing extremely early eras of our Universe when the supersonic relative motions between dark matter and baryonic overdensities modulate structure formation ($z>sim 10$). We study […]
