Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Saeth Wannasuphoprasit, Yi Zhou, Danushka Bollegala | Summary: Cosine similarity between two words, computed using their contextualised token embeddings obtained from masked language models (MLMs) such as BERT has shown to underestimate the actual similarity between those words (Zhou et al., 2022). This similarity underestimation problem is […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ali H. Brivanlou | Authors: Riccardo De Santis, Eleni Rice, Gist Croft, Min Yang, Edwin A. Rosado-Olivieri and Ali H. Brivanlou | Summary: While studied extensively in model systems, human gastrulation remains obscure. This process starts upon blastocyst implantation into the uterine wall, which is assumed to occur after 14 days post-fertilization. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Edwards | Authors: Joel E Brame, Craig Liddicoat, Catherine A Abbott, Robert A Edwards, Jake M Robinson, Nicolas E Gauthier and Martin F Breed | Summary: Butyrate-producing bacteria are found in many ecosystems and organisms, including humans, and are vital to ecosystem functionality and human health. These bacteria ferment organic matter, producing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Prasanna Rout, Nikos Papadopoulos, Fernando Peñaranda, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi | Summary: Bilayer graphene encapsulated in tungsten diselenide can host a weak topological phase with pairs of helical edge states. The electrical tunability of this phase makes it an ideal platform to investigate unique topological effects at […]

Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Ethan C. McGarrigle, Kris T. Delaney, Leon Balents, Glenn H. Fredrickson, | Summary: We report the first observation of a “spin microemulsion”– a phase with undulating spin domains resembling classical bicontinuous oil-water-surfactant emulsions — in two-dimensional systems of spinor Bose-Einstein condensates with isotropic Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Leon Balents | First 5 Authors: Ethan C. McGarrigle, Kris T. Delaney, Leon Balents, Glenn H. Fredrickson | Summary: Recent experiments have shown how the interplay between Bose statistics and spin-orbit coupling (SOC) can lead to superfluid liquid crystalline (stripe) analogues in cold atomic gases. For isotropic SOC in two spatial dimensions, a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Shubh Agrawal, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Quinn M. Konopacky, Bruce Macintosh, Dimitri Mawet | Summary: While radial velocity surveys have demonstrated that the population of gas giants peaks around $3~text{au}$, the most recent high-contrast imaging surveys have only been sensitive to planets beyond $sim~10~text{au}$. Sensitivity at small angular separations […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Meer Ashwinkumar, Jacob M. Leedom, Masahito Yamazaki, , | Summary: We discuss interrelations between several ideas in quantum gravity. One is the Swampland program, which states that a low-energy effective field theory should satisfy non-trivial constraints to have an ultraviolet (UV) completion in quantum gravity. Another is […]
