Kavli Affiliate: Misao Sasaki | First 5 Authors: Marcos M. Flores, Alexander Kusenko, Misao Sasaki, , | Summary: The existence of scalar fields can be probed by observations of stochastic gravitational waves. Scalar fields mediate attractive forces, usually stronger than gravity, on the length scales shorter than their Compton wavelengths, which can be non-negligible in […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jin Kang | Authors: Jin Young Kang, Tatiana V Mishanina, Yu Bao, James Chen, Eliza Llewellyn, James Liu, Seth A Darst and Robert Landick | Summary: Abstract Transcriptional pausing underpins regulation of cellular RNA synthesis but its mechanism remains incompletely understood. Sequence-specific interactions of DNA and RNA with the dynamic, multidomain RNA polymerase […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Ellisman | Authors: George A. Spirou, Matthew Kersting, Sean Carr, Bayan Razzaq, Carolyna Y. Alves-Pinto, Mariah Dawson, Mark H. Ellisman and Paul B. Manis | Summary: Abstract Bushy neurons of the cochlear nucleus encode temporal fine structure and modulation of sound with high fidelity. However, the synaptic maps and electrotonic structures that […]

Many […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: David J. Schlegel, Juna A. Kollmeier, Greg Aldering, Stephen Bailey, Charles Baltay | Summary: In this white paper, we present the MegaMapper concept. The MegaMapper is a proposed ground-based experiment to measure Inflation parameters and Dark Energy from galaxy redshifts at $2<z<5$. In order to achieve […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Hong Ye, Xin Xu, Jixiang Wang, Jing Wang, Yi He | Summary: Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy (LSFM) makes use of a thin plane of light to optically section and image transparent tissues or organisms {it{in vivo}}, which has the advantages of fast imaging speed and low phototoxicity. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Knierim | Authors: Sang Hoon Kim, Douglas GoodSmith, Stephanie J Temme, Fumika Moriya, Guo-li Ming, Kimberly Christian, Hongjun Song and James J Knierim | Summary: SUMMARY Hippocampal place cells exhibit spatially modulated firing, or place fields, which can remap to encode changes in the environment or other variables. Unique among hippocampal subregions, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael D. Gladders | First 5 Authors: Michael N. Martinez, Kate A. Napier, Aidan P. Cloonan, Ezra Sukay, Katya Gozman | Summary: In the third paper from the COOL-LAMPS Collaboration, we report the discovery of COOL J0542-2125, a gravitationally lensed quasar at $z=1.84$, observed as three images due to an intervening massive galaxy […]
Kavli Affiliate: Risa H. Wechsler | First 5 Authors: David J. Schlegel, Simone Ferraro, Greg Aldering, Charles Baltay, Segev BenZvi | Summary: In this white paper, we present an experimental road map for spectroscopic experiments beyond DESI. DESI will be a transformative cosmological survey in the 2020s, mapping 40 million galaxies and quasars and capturing […]
