Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Roberta Pascazio, Qian Chen, Haoming Howard Li, Aaron D. Kaplan, Kristin A. Persson | Summary: Efficient energy storage systems are crucial to address the intermittency of renewable energy sources. As multivalent batteries, Zn-ion batteries (ZIBs), while inherently low voltage, offer a promising low cost alternative to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nickolay Y. Gnedin | First 5 Authors: Nickolay Y. Gnedin, Hanjue Zhu, , , | Summary: Recently, several observational detections of damping-wing-like features at the edges of “dark gaps" in the spectra of distant quasars (the “Malloy-Lidz effect") have been reported, rendering strong support for the existence of “neutral islands" in the universe […]
Kavli Affiliate: Seth Shipman Eiman Azim | Authors: Abdulkadir Ozkan, Hari K Padmanabhan, Seth Shipman, Eiman Azim, Priyanka Kumar, Cameron Sadegh, Nazli Basak and Jeffrey D Macklis | Summary: Corticospinal neurons (CSN) centrally degenerate in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), along with spinal motor neurons, and loss of voluntary motor function in spinal cord injury (SCI) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Haiming Wang, Mert Unsal, Xiaohan Lin, Mantas Baksys, Junqi Liu | Summary: We introduce Kimina-Prover Preview, a large language model that pioneers a novel reasoning-driven exploration paradigm for formal theorem proving, as showcased in this preview release. Trained with a large-scale reinforcement learning pipeline from Qwen2.5-72B, Kimina-Prover […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gang Su | First 5 Authors: Junsen Xiang, Chuandi Zhang, Yuan Gao, Wolfang Schmidt, Karin Schmalzl | Summary: Supersolid, an exotic quantum state of matter that consists of particles forming an incompressible solid structure while simultaneously showing superfluidity of zero viscosity [1], is one of the long-standing pursuits in fundamental research [2, 3]. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Peipei Song, Long Zhang, Long Lan, Weidong Chen, Dan Guo | Summary: Partially relevant video retrieval (PRVR) is a practical yet challenging task in text-to-video retrieval, where videos are untrimmed and contain much background content. The pursuit here is of both effective and efficient solutions to capture […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Pei-Yuan Cai, Hui-Ke Jin, Yi Zhou, , | Summary: We present a comprehensive study of topological phases in the SO($n$) spin chains using a combination of analytical parton construction and numerical techniques. For even $n=2l$, we identify a novel SPT$^2$ phase characterized by two distinct topological sectors, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yishuai Wang, Siyuan Hong, Wenze Pan, Yi Zhou, Yanwu Xie | Summary: The extremely low superfluid density and unprecedented tunability of oxide interface superconductors provide an ideal platform for studying fluctuations in two-dimensional superconductors. In this work, we have fabricated a LaAlO3/KTaO3 interface superconductor patterned with a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Pau Amaro Seoane | First 5 Authors: Pau Amaro Seoane, Josep V. Arnau, Màrius Josep Fullana i Alfonso, , | Summary: The gravitational capture of a small compact object by a supermassive black hole is one of the most intriguing sources of gravitational waves to be detected by space-borne observatories. Modeling gravitational waves […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kohei Inayoshi | First 5 Authors: Kazutaka Kimura, Kohei Inayoshi, Kazuyuki Omukai, , | Summary: Direct collapse of pristine gas in early galaxies is a promissing pathway for forming supermassive black holes (BHs) powering active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at the epoch of reionization (EoR). This seeding mechanism requires suppression of molecular hydrogen (H$_2$) […]
