Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Meredith L. Hooper, Isabel Scherl, Morteza Gharib, , | Summary: To maintain full autonomy, autonomous robotic systems must have the ability to self-repair. Self-repairing via compensatory mechanisms appears in nature: for example, some fish can lose even 76% of their propulsive surface without loss of thrust by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | First 5 Authors: Fabien Defrance, Cecile Jung-Kubiak, John Gill, Sofia Rahiminejad, Ted Macioce | Summary: We present the design, fabrication, and test of a 100 mm diameter flat gradient-index (GRIN) lens fabricated with high-resistivity silicon and combined with three-layer anti-reflection (AR) structures optimized for 160 – 355 GHz. The anti-reflection […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil R. Golwala | First 5 Authors: Fabien Defrance, Cecile Jung-Kubiak, John Gill, Sofia Rahiminejad, Theodore Macioce | Summary: We present the design, fabrication, and characterization of a 100 mm diameter, flat, gradient-index (GRIN) lens fabricated with high-resistivity silicon, combined with a three-layer anti-reflection (AR) structure optimized for 160-355 GHz. Multi-depth, deep reactive-ion […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil R. Golwala | First 5 Authors: Jean-Marc Martin, Junhan Kim, Fabien Defrance, Shibo Shu, Andrew D. Beyer | Summary: We present the optical characterization of two-scale hierarchical phased-array antenna kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) for millimeter/submillimeter wavelengths. Our KIDs have a lumped-element architecture with parallel plate capacitors and aluminum inductors. The incoming light […]
Kavli Affiliate: Changhuei Yang | First 5 Authors: Pengming Song, Ruihai Wang, Lars Loetgering, Jia Liu, Peter Vouras | Summary: Synthetic aperture radar (SAR) utilizes an aircraft-carried antenna to emit electromagnetic pulses and detect the returning echoes. As the aircraft travels across a designated area, it synthesizes a large virtual aperture to improve image resolution. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Changhuei Yang | First 5 Authors: Yu Xi Huang, Simon Mahler, Maya Dickson, Aidin Abedi, Julian M. Tyszka | Summary: In the realm of cerebrovascular monitoring, primary metrics typically include blood pressure, which influences cerebral blood flow (CBF) and is contingent upon vessel radius. Measuring CBF non-invasively poses a persistent challenge, primarily attributed […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ali Hajimiri | First 5 Authors: Alex Ayling, Austin Fikes, Oren S. Mizrahi, Ailec Wu, Raha Riazati | Summary: Space solar power (SSP), envisioned for decades as a solution for continuous, stable, and dynamically dispatchable clean energy, has seen tremendous interest and a number of experimental demonstrations in the last few years. A […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Hongzhan Lin, Ziyang Luo, Wei Gao, Jing Ma, Bo Wang | Summary: The age of social media is flooded with Internet memes, necessitating a clear grasp and effective identification of harmful ones. This task presents a significant challenge due to the implicit meaning embedded in memes, which […]
