Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Fumihiro Naokawa, Toshiya Namikawa, , , | Summary: We calculate the effect of gravitational lensing on the parity-odd power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization induced by axionlike particles (ALPs). Several recent works have reported a tantalizing hint of cosmic birefringence, a rotation of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz Madejski | First 5 Authors: Abel L. Peirson, Michela Negro, Ioannis Liodakis, Riccardo Middei, Dawoon E. Kim | Summary: We report the first $> 99%$ confidence detection of X-ray polarization in BL Lacertae. During a recent X-ray/$gamma$-ray outburst, a 287 ksec observation (2022 November 27-30) was taken using the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lisa Barsotti | First 5 Authors: Chris Whittle, Ge Yang, Matthew Evans, Lisa Barsotti, | Summary: Machine learning has become an effective tool for processing the extensive data sets produced by large physics experiments. Gravitational-wave detectors are now listening to the universe with quantum-enhanced sensitivity, accomplished with the injection of squeezed vacuum states. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naomi S. Ginsberg | First 5 Authors: Hannah L. Weaver, Cora M. Went, Joeson Wong, Dipti Jasrasaria, Eran Rabani | Summary: Since dissipative processes are ubiquitous in semiconductors, characterizing how electronic and thermal energy transduce and transport at the nanoscale is vital for understanding and leveraging their fundamental properties. For example, in low-dimensional […]

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua Vogelstein | Authors: Jaewon Chung, Eric W Bridgeford, Michael Powell, Derek Pisner and Joshua T Vogelstein | Summary: The heritability of human connectomes is crucial for understanding the influence of genetic and environmental factors on variability in connectomes, and their implications for behavior and disease. However, current methods for studying heritability assume […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grzegorz Madejski | First 5 Authors: Laura Di Gesu, Herman L. Marshall, Steven R. Ehlert, Dawoon E. Kim, Immacolata Donnarumma | Summary: The magnetic field conditions in astrophysical relativistic jets can be probed by multiwavelength polarimetry, which has been recently extended to X-rays. For example, one can track how the magnetic field changes […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mamoru Matsuo | First 5 Authors: Ryotaro Sano, Yuya Ominato, Mamoru Matsuo, , | Summary: The recently discovered van der Waals antiferromagnets have suffered from the lack of a comprehensive method to study their magnetic properties. Here, we propose a dissipationless magnon spin Hall current driven by surface acoustic waves as a novel […]
