Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Joseph E. Rodriguez, Samuel N. Quinn, George Zhou, Andrew Vanderburg, Louise D. Nielsen | Summary: We present the discovery and characterization of five hot and warm Jupiters — TOI-628 b (TIC 281408474; HD 288842), TOI-640 b (TIC 147977348), TOI-1333 b (TIC 395171208, BD+47 3521A), TOI-1478 b […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul Alivisatos | First 5 Authors: Burak Guzelturk, Benjamin L. Cotts, Dipti Jasrasaria, John P. Philbin, David A. Hanifi | Summary: Nonradiative processes limit optoelectronic functionality of nanocrystals and curb their device performance. Nevertheless, the dynamic structural origins of nonradiative relaxations in nanocrystals are not understood. Here, femtosecond electron diffraction measurements corroborated by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Dubois | First 5 Authors: Adam Snyder, Aurelien Barrau, Andrew Bradshaw, Boyd Bowdish, James Chiang | Summary: Electro-optical testing and characterization of the Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) Camera focal plane, consisting of 205 charge-coupled devices (CCDs) arranged into 21 stand-alone Raft Tower Modules (RTMs) and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Andrew Romero-Wolf, Geoffrey Bryden, Sara Seager, N. Jeremy Kasdin, Jeff Booth | Summary: Launching a starshade to rendezvous with the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope would provide the first opportunity to directly image the habitable zones of nearby sunlike stars in the coming decade. A report on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Paul Dieterle, Ariel Amir, , , | Summary: Scientists have observed and studied diffusive waves in contexts as disparate as population genetics and cell signaling. Often, these waves are propagated by discrete entities or agents, such as individual cells in the case of cell signaling. For a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, Frédéric Mila, , , | Summary: The recent investigation of chains of Rydberg atoms has brought back the problem of commensurate-incommensurate transitions into the focus of current research. In 2D classical systems, or in 1D quantum systems, the commensurate melting of a period-p phase with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naoki Yasuda | First 5 Authors: Takayuki Ohgami, Nozomu Tominaga, Yousuke Utsumi, Yuu Niino, Masaomi Tanaka | Summary: A gravitational wave event, S190510g, which was classified as a binary-neutron-star coalescence at the time of preliminary alert, was detected by LIGO/Virgo collaboration on May 10, 2019. At 1.7 hours after the issue of its […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger D. Blandford | First 5 Authors: Noemie Globus, Anatoli Fedynitch, Roger D. Blandford, , | Summary: It has been proposed that spin-polarized cosmic radiation can induce asymmetric changes in helical biopolymers that may account for the emergence of biological homochirality. The parity violation in the weak interaction has direct consequences on the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Mitziu Echeverria, Zeeshan Ahmed, Bincheng Wang, M. Fareed Arif, Syed Rafiul Hussain | Summary: End-user-devices in the current cellular ecosystem are prone to many different vulnerabilities across different generations and protocol layers. Fixing these vulnerabilities retrospectively can be expensive, challenging, or just infeasible. A pragmatic approach for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Moses | First 5 Authors: Noah Flemens, Nicolas Swenson, Jeffrey Moses, , | Summary: We illustrate that a Hermitian nonlinear optical system consisting of hybridized parametric amplification and second harmonic generation mimics non-Hermitian evolution dynamics. Oscillation damping, evolution to a static steady state, and exceptional points arise from the use of second […]
