Kavli Affiliate: Steven M. Kahn | First 5 Authors: Konstantin Malanchev, Konstantin Malanchev, , , | Summary: The Vera C. Rubin Observatory recently released Data Preview 1 (DP1) in advance of the upcoming Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), which will enable boundless discoveries in time-domain astronomy over the next ten years. DP1 provides […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Toshiya Namikawa, , , | Summary: The recent measurement of baryonic acoustic oscillations (BAO) by the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) reveals a mild tension with observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) within the standard $Lambda$CDM cosmological model. This discrepancy leads to a preference […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Cecilia Lunardini, Cecilia Lunardini, , , | Summary: We present a new, state-of-the-art computation of the Diffuse Supernova Neutrino Background (DSNB), where we use neutrino spectra from multi-dimensional, multi-second core collapse supernova simulations – including both neutron-star and black-hole forming collapses – and binary evolution effects from […]
Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Shannon S. Fender, Shannon S. Fender, , , | Summary: The interplay between symmetry and topology in magnetic materials makes it possible to engineer exotic phases and technologically useful properties. A key requirement for these pursuits is achieving control over local crystallographic and magnetic structure, usually […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Anne E. Peck, Anne E. Peck, , , | Summary: Directly imaged substellar companions with well-constrained ages and masses serve as vital empirical benchmarks for planet formation and evolution models. Potential benchmark companions can be identified from astrometric accelerations of their host stars. We use Gaia DR3 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Ruixiang Song, Ruixiang Song, , , | Summary: Metalenses, owing to their ultra-thin planar structures, present a promising solution for reducing endoscopic invasiveness. However, achieving high-quality imaging with minimal invasiveness (short focal length of metalens) remains a critical challenge. This paper presents a deep learning assisted metalens […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Zhiyi Chen, Zhiyi Chen, , , | Summary: Procrastination represents one of the most prevalent behavioral problems affecting individual health and societal productivity. Although it is often conceptualized as a form of self-control failure, its underlying neurocognitive mechanisms are poorly understood. A leading model posits that procrastination […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Juliana García-Mejía, Juliana García-Mejía, , , | Summary: We present a ground-based transit detection of HIP 41378 f, a long-period ($P = 542$ days), extremely low-density ($0.09 pm 0.02$ g cm$^-3$) giant exoplanet in a dynamically complex system. Using photometry from Tierras, TRAPPIST-North, and multiple LCOGT sites, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Toshiya Namikawa, , , | Summary: We present constraints on isotropic cosmic birefringence induced by axion-like particles (ALPs), derived from the analysis of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements obtained with the high-frequency channels of Planck. Recent measurements report a hint of isotropic cosmic birefringence, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Hanson | First 5 Authors: [#item_custom_name[1]], [#item_custom_name[2]], [#item_custom_name[3]], [#item_custom_name[4]], [#item_custom_name[5]] | Summary: An efficient interface between a spin qubit and single photons is a key enabling system for quantum science and technology. We report on a coherently controlled diamond nitrogen-vacancy center electron spin qubit that is optically interfaced with an open microcavity. […]
