Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: John D. Silverman, Vincenzo Mainieri, Xuheng Ding, Daizhong Liu, Knud Jahnke | Summary: A large fraction of the accreting supermassive black hole population is shrouded by copious amounts of gas and dust, particularly in the distant ($zgtrsim1$) Universe. While much of the obscuration is attributed to […]

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Alexander Venner, Simon Blouin, Antoine Bédard, Andrew Vanderburg, | Summary: The observational signature of core crystallization of white dwarfs has recently been discovered. However, the magnitude of the crystallization-powered cooling delay required to match observed white dwarfs is larger than predicted by conventional models, requiring additional mechanisms […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Prabudhya Bhattacharyya, Wuhao Chen, Xiaoli Huang, Shubhayu Chatterjee, Benchen Huang | Summary: By directly altering microscopic interactions, pressure provides a powerful tuning knob for the exploration of condensed phases and geophysical phenomena. The megabar regime represents an exciting frontier, where recent discoveries include novel high-temperature superconductors, […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle, Belle II Collaboration, :, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We measure $C!P$ asymmetries and branching-fraction ratios for $B^pm to DK^pm$ and $Dpi^pm$ decays with $Dto K^0_{rm S} K^pmpi^mp$, where $D$ is a superposition of $D^0$ and $bar{D}^0$. We use the full data set of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Shadlen | Authors: Anne Löffler, Ariel Zylberberg, Michael N. Shadlen and Daniel M Wolpert | Summary: Deciding how difficult it is going to be to perform a task allows us to choose between tasks, allocate appropriate resources, and predict future performance. To be useful for planning, difficulty judgments should not require completion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Terrence Sejnowski | Authors: Nuttida Rungratsameetaweemana, Robert Kim, Thiparat Chotibut and Terrence Sejnowski | Summary: Recurrent neural networks (RNNs) based on model neurons that communicate via continuous signals have been widely used to study how cortical neurons perform cognitive tasks. Training such networks to perform tasks that require information maintenance over a brief […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Marcia J. Rieke, Brant E. Robertson, Sandro Tacchella, Kevin Hainline, Benjamin D. Johnson | Summary: JWST has revolutionized the field of extragalactic astronomy with its sensitive and high-resolution infrared view of the distant universe. Adding to the new legacy of JWST observations, we present the first NIRCam […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Matthew Ennis, Rabindranath Bag, Chunxiao Liu, Sachith E. Dissanayake, Alexander I. Kolesnikov | Summary: We have synthesized high-quality single crystal samples of the erbium-based triangular lattice compound Ba3Er(BO3)3. Thermal and magnetic measurements reveal large anisotropy and a possible phase transition at 100 mK. The low-temperature magnetic heat […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel C. Ralph | First 5 Authors: Xiaoxi Huang, Xianzhe Chen, Yuhang Li, John Mangeri, Hongrui Zhang | Summary: A collective excitation of the spin structure in a magnetic insulator can transmit spin-angular momentum with negligible dissipation. This quantum of a spin wave, introduced more than nine decades ago, has always been manipulated […]
