Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Ioannis Mandralis, Reza Nemovi, Alireza Ramezani, Richard M. Murray, Morteza Gharib | Summary: Designing ground-aerial robots is challenging due to the increased actuation requirements which can lead to added weight and reduced locomotion efficiency. Morphobots mitigate this by combining actuators into multi-functional groups and leveraging ground transformation […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Chelsea Fox, Kyrillos Bastawros, Tommaso Magrini, Chiara Daraio, | Summary: Natural materials often feature a combination of soft and stiff phases, arranged to achieve excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and toughness. Many natural materials have even independently evolved to have similar structures to obtain these […]

Kavli Affiliate: Austin J. Minnich | First 5 Authors: Azmain A. Hossain, Sela Murphy, David S. Catherall, Anthony J. Ardizzi, Austin J. Minnich | Summary: Niobium nitride (NbN) is a metallic superconductor that is widely used for superconducting electronics due to its high transition temperature ($T_c$) and kinetic inductance. Processing-induced damage negatively affects the performance […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | First 5 Authors: Long Cheng, Mengdi Zhao, Yang He, Yu Zhang, Roy Meade | Summary: In recent years, miniaturization and integration of photonic microwave oscillators by optical frequency division approach have witnessed rapid progress. In this work, we report on-chip low phase noise photonic microwave generation based on a planar […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Chong Ding, Zheng Li, Hon Keung Tony Ng, Wei Gao, | Summary: The treatment effect represents the average causal impact or outcome difference between treatment and control groups. Treatment effects can be estimated through social experiments, regression models, matching estimators, and instrumental variables. In this paper, we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Ruichao Yang, Jing Ma, Wei Gao, Hongzhan Lin, | Summary: The proliferation of misinformation, such as rumors on social media, has drawn significant attention, prompting various expressions of stance among users. Although rumor detection and stance detection are distinct tasks, they can complement each other. Rumors can […]

Kavli Affiliate: Harry Atwater | First 5 Authors: Bardia Nabavi, Sina Jafari Ghalehkohne, Komron J. Shayegan, Eric J. Tervo, Harry Atwater | Summary: Nonreciprocal thermal emitters that break the conventional Kirchhoff’s law allow independent control of emissivity and absorptivity and promise exciting new functionalities in controlling heat flow for thermal and energy applications. In enabling […]
