Non-planar snake gaits: from Stigmatic-starts to Sidewinding

Posted by klaurent Harvard

Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: N. Charles, R. Chelakkot, M. Gazzola, B. Young, L. Mahadevan | Summary: Of the vast variety of animal gaits, one of the most striking is the non-planar undulating motion of a sidewinder. But non-planar gaits are not limited to sidewinders. Here we report a new non-planar mode […]

Hysteresis Compensation in Temperature Response of Fiber Bragg Grating Thermometers Using Dynamic Regression

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Zeeshan Ahmed, , , , | Summary: In recent years there has been considerable interest in using photonic thermometers such as Fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and silicon ring resonators as an alternative technology to resistance-based legacy thermometers. Although FBG thermometers have been commercially available for decades their […]

Leveraging vision to understand curiosity

Posted by klaurent Columbia

Kavli Affiliate: Jacqueline Gottlieb | Authors: Michael Cohanpour, Mariam Aly and Jacqueline Gottlieb | Summary: Humans are immensely curious and motivated to reduce uncertainty. Inspired by studies of sensory uncertainty, we hypothesized that visual areas provide multivariate representations of uncertainty, which are read out by higher-order areas that encode confidence and, ultimately, translated into curiosity. […]

Orbital decay in an accreting and eclipsing 13.7 minute orbital period binary with a luminous donor

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Saul Rappaport | First 5 Authors: Kevin B. Burdge, Kareem El-Badry, Saul Rappaport, Tin Long Sunny Wong, Evan B. Bauer | Summary: We report the discovery of ZTF J0127+5258, a compact mass-transferring binary with an orbital period of 13.7 minutes. The system contains a white dwarf accretor, which likely originated as a post-common […]

A tight universal relation between the shape eccentricity and the moment of inertia for rotating neutron stars

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yong Gao, Lijing Shao, Jan Steinhoff, , | Summary: Universal relations that are insensitive to the equation of state (EoS) are useful in reducing the parameter space when measuring global quantities of neutron stars (NSs). In this paper, we reveal a new universal relation that connects the […]
