Structural basis for CaVα2δ:gabapentin binding

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Minor | Authors: Daniel L Minor, Jr., Zhou Chen and Abhisek Mondal | Summary: Abstract Gabapentinoid drugs for pain and anxiety act on the CaVα2δ-1 and CaVα2δ-2 subunits of high-voltage activated calcium channels (CaV1s and CaV2s). Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of the gabapentin-bound brain and cardiac CaV1.2/CaVβ3/CaVα2δ-1 channel. The data […]

Spin wavepackets in the Kagome ferromagnet Fe$_3$Sn$_2$: propagation and precursors

Kavli Affiliate: Joel Moore | First 5 Authors: Changmin Lee, Yue Sun, Linda Ye, Sumedh Rathi, Kevin Wang | Summary: The propagation of spin waves in magnetically ordered systems has emerged as a potential means to shuttle quantum information over large distances. Conventionally, the arrival time of a spin wavepacket at a distance, $d$, is […]

Effects of the interplay between fermionic interactions and disorders in the nodal-line superconductors

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wen-Hao Bian, Xiao-Zhuo Chu, Jing Wang, , | Summary: We study the interplay between fermion-fermion interactions and disorder scatterings beneath the superconducting dome of noncentrosymmetric nodal-line superconductors. With the application of renormalization group, several interesting low-energy behaviors are extracted from the coupled equations of all interaction parameters. […]

Controlled crossed Andreev reflection and elastic co-tunneling mediated by Andreev bound states

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Alberto Bordin, Guanzhong Wang, Chun-Xiao Liu, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf, Grzegorz P. Mazur | Summary: A short superconducting segment can couple attached quantum dots via elastic co-tunneling (ECT) and crossed Andreev reflection (CAR). Such coupled quantum dots can host Majorana bound states provided that the ratio […]

Microbial symbionts are shared between ants and their associated beetles

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Catalina Valdivia, Justin A. Newton, Sean O’Donnell, Christoph von Beeren, Daniel J. C Kronauer, Jacob A Russell and Piotr Lukasik | Summary: Abstract The transmission of microbial symbionts across individuals and generations can be critical for animal development and survival. Likewise, the transmission of microbes across closely interacting species […]

Fusion protocol for Majorana modes in coupled quantum dots

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Chun-Xiao Liu, Haining Pan, F. Setiawan, Michael Wimmer, Jay D. Sau | Summary: In a recent breakthrough experiment (arXiv:2206.08045), Majorana zero modes have been observed in tunnel spectroscopy for a minimal Kitaev chain constructed from coupled quantum dots. However, as Ising anyons, Majoranas’ most fundamental property of […]

Unclearing Microscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Joerg Bewersdorf | Authors: Ons M’Saad, Michael Shribak and Joerg Bewersdorf | Summary: Abstract The spatial resolution and contrast sensitivity of the human eye is limited, restricting our ability to directly see subcellular structures. We report a new principle for unaided eye cellular visualization in a method we call Unclearing Microscopy. By expanding […]

Transport of Cosmic ray electrons from 1 AU to the Sun

Kavli Affiliate: Vahe Petrosian | First 5 Authors: Vahe’ Petrosian, Elena Orlando, Andrew Strong, , | Summary: Gamma rays are produced by cosmic ray (CR) protons interacting with the particles at solar photosphere and by cosmic ray electrons and positrons (CRes) via inverse Compton scattering of solar photons. The former come from the solar disk […]
