Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Ian Holst, Gordan Krnjaic, Huangyu Xiao, , | Summary: If primordial black holes (PBH) are present in the early universe, their contribution to the energy budget grows relative to that of radiation and generically becomes dominant unless the initial abundance is exponentially small. This black hole domination […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shreesh P. Mysore | Authors: Huixin Huang, Garima Shah, Hita Adwanikar and Shreesh Mysore | Summary: Investigations into the neural basis of behavior have recently employed fluorescence imaging of calcium dynamics in a variety of brain areas to measure neural responses. However, across studies, diverse and seemingly subjective methodological choices have been made […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alex Pollen | Authors: Tyler Fair, Bryan J Pavlovic, Dani Swope, Octavio E Castillo, Nathan K Schaefer and Alex Aaron Pollen | Summary: Deletion of functional sequence is predicted to represent a fundamental mechanism of molecular evolution. Comparative genetic studies of primates have identified thousands of human-specific deletions (hDels), and the cis-regulatory potential […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Qiyao Xue, Xiangyu Yin, Boyuan Yang, Wei Gao, | Summary: Text-to-video (T2V) generation has been recently enabled by transformer-based diffusion models, but current T2V models lack capabilities in adhering to the real-world common knowledge and physical rules, due to their limited understanding of physical realism and deficiency […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Emma T. Chickles, Kevin B. Burdge, Joheen Chakraborty, Vik S. Dhillon, Paul Draghis | Summary: Type Ia supernovae, critical for studying cosmic expansion, arise from thermonuclear explosions of white dwarfs, but their precise progenitor pathways remain unclear. Growing evidence supports the “double-degenerate” scenario, where two white dwarfs […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey Bleem | First 5 Authors: Asmaa Mazoun, Sebastian Bocquet, Joseph J. Mohr, Mathias Garny, Henrique Rubira | Summary: We use galaxy cluster abundance measurements from the South Pole Telescope (SPT) enhanced by Multi-Component Matched Filter (MCMF) confirmation and complemented with mass information obtained using weak-lensing data from Dark Energy Survey Year~3 (DES […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: Chaojun Ni, Guosheng Zhao, Xiaofeng Wang, Zheng Zhu, Wenkang Qin | Summary: Closed-loop simulation is crucial for end-to-end autonomous driving. Existing sensor simulation methods (e.g., NeRF and 3DGS) reconstruct driving scenes based on conditions that closely mirror training data distributions. However, these methods struggle with rendering novel […]
