ET White Paper: To Find the First Earth 2.0

Kavli Affiliate: Subo Dong | First 5 Authors: Jian Ge, Hui Zhang, Weicheng Zang, Hongping Deng, Shude Mao | Summary: We propose to develop a wide-field and ultra-high-precision photometric survey mission, temporarily named "Earth 2.0 (ET)". This mission is designed to measure, for the first time, the occurrence rate and the orbital distributions of Earth-sized […]

Sustained unidirectional rotation of a self-organized DNA rotor on a nanopore

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | Summary:Flow-driven rotary motors drive functional processes in human society such as windmills and water wheels. Although examples of such rotary motors also feature prominently in cell biology, their synthetic construction at the nanoscale has thus far remained elusive. Here, we demonstrate flow-driven rotary motion of a self-organized DNA nanostructure that […]

A DNA turbine powered by a transmembrane potential across a nanopore

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | Summary:Rotary motors play key roles in energy transduction, from macroscale windmills to nanoscale turbines such as ATP synthase in cells. Despite our capabilities to construct engines at many scales, developing functional synthetic turbines at the nanoscale has remained challenging. Here, we experimentally demonstrate rationally designed nanoscale DNA-origami turbines with three […]

Med-DANet: Dynamic Architecture Network for Efficient Medical Volumetric Segmentation

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wenxuan Wang, Chen Chen, Jing Wang, Sen Zha, Yan Zhang | Summary: For 3D medical image (e.g. CT and MRI) segmentation, the difficulty of segmenting each slice in a clinical case varies greatly. Previous research on volumetric medical image segmentation in a slice-by-slice manner conventionally use the […]

Calibrating the classical hardness of the quantum approximate optimization algorithm

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Maxime Dupont, Nicolas Didier, Mark J. Hodson, Joel E. Moore, Matthew J. Reagor | Summary: Trading fidelity for scale enables approximate classical simulators such as matrix product states (MPS) to run quantum circuits beyond exact methods. A control parameter, the so-called bond dimension $chi$ for MPS, […]

TESS Hunt for Young and Maturing Exoplanets (THYME) VII : Membership, rotation, and lithium in the young cluster Group-X and a new young exoplanet

Kavli Affiliate: Gabor Furesz | Summary:The public, all-sky surveys Gaia and TESS provide the ability to identify new young associations and determine their ages. These associations enable study of planetary evolution by providing new opportunities to discover young exoplanets. A young association was recently identified by Tang et al. and Fürnkranz et al. using astrometry […]

Measurement of the branching fraction for the decay $B to K^{ast}(892)ell^+ell^-$ at Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: F. Abudinén, I. Adachi, R. Adak, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We report a measurement of the branching fraction of $B to K^{ast}(892)ell^+ell^-$ decays, where $ell^+ell^- = mu^+mu^-$ or $e^+e^-$, using electron-positron collisions recorded at an energy at or near the $Upsilon(4S)$ mass and corresponding to […]

Modeling the inner part of M87 jet: confronting jet morphology with theory

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Hai Yang, Feng Yuan, Hui Li, Yosuke Mizuno, Fan Guo | Summary: The formation of jets in black hole accretion systems is a long-standing problem. It has been proposed that a jet can be formed by extracting the rotation energy of the black hole ("BZ-jet") or […]
