Kinetics of the Xanthophyll Cycle and its Role in the Photoprotective Memory and Response

Kavli Affiliate: Graham R. Fleming | First 5 Authors: Audrey Short, Thomas P. Fay, Thien Crisanto, Ratul Mangal, Krishna K. Niyogi | Summary: Efficiently balancing photochemistry and photoprotection is crucial for survival and productivity of photosynthetic organisms in the rapidly fluctuating light levels found in natural environments. The ability to respond quickly to sudden changes […]

N-spherical functors and categorification of Euler’s continuants

Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail Kapranov | First 5 Authors: Tobias Dyckerhoff, Mikhail Kapranov, Vadim Schechtman, , | Summary: Euler’s continuants are universal polynomials expressing the numerator and denominator of a finite continued fraction whose entries are independent variables. We introduce their categorical lifts which are natural complexes (more precisely, coherently commutative cubes) of functors involving compositions […]

Thermodynamic behavior of correlated electron-hole fluids in van der Waals heterostructures

Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Ruishi Qi, Andrew Y. Joe, Zuocheng Zhang, Yongxin Zeng, Tiancheng Zheng | Summary: Coupled two-dimensional electron-hole bilayers provide a unique platform to study strongly correlated Bose-Fermi mixtures in condensed matter. Electrons and holes in spatially separated layers can bind to form interlayer excitons, composite Bosons expected […]

Axion Insulator State in Hundred-Nanometer-Thick Magnetic Topological Insulator Sandwich Heterostructures

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Deyi Zhuo, Zi-Jie Yan, Zi-Ting Sun, Ling-Jie Zhou, Yi-Fan Zhao | Summary: An axion insulator is a three-dimensional (3D) topological insulator (TI), in which the bulk maintains the time-reversal symmetry or inversion symmetry but the surface states are gapped by surface magnetization. The axion insulator state has […]

One at A Time: Multi-step Volumetric Probability Distribution Diffusion for Depth Estimation

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Bohan Li, Jingxin Dong, Yunnan Wang, Jinming Liu, Lianying Yin | Summary: Recent works have explored the fundamental role of depth estimation in multi-view stereo (MVS) and semantic scene completion (SSC). They generally construct 3D cost volumes to explore geometric correspondence in depth, and estimate such volumes […]

Nucleus-Independent Transgenerational Small RNA Inheritance in C. elegans

Kavli Affiliate: Shai Shaham | Authors: Itai Rieger, Guy Weintraub, Itamar Lev, Kesem Goldstein, Dana Bar-Zvi, Sarit Anava, Hila Gingold, Shai Shaham and Oded Rechavi | Summary: Studies using C. elegans nematodes demonstrated that, against the dogma, animals can transmit epigenetic information transgenerationally. While it is now clear that in these worms ancestral RNA interference […]
