Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | Summary:Together with gas, stars, and supermassive black holes, dust is crucial in stellar and galaxy evolution. Hence, understanding galaxies’ dust properties across cosmic time is critical to studying their evolution. In addition to photometric constraints on the absorption of blue light and its reemission at infrared wavelengths, dust grain properties […]

Kavli Affiliate: Paul D. Asimow | Summary:We present globally inverted pressure-temperature (P-T) phase diagrams up to 5,000 GPa for four fundamental planetary materials, Fe, MgO, SiO2, and MgSiO3, derived from logistic regression and supervised learning, together with an experimental phase equilibria database. These new P-T phase diagrams provide a solution to long-standing disputes about their […]

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib| Summary:Multi-rotors face significant risks, as actuator failures at high altitudes can easily result in a crash and the robot’s destruction. Therefore, rapid fault recovery in the event of an actuator failure is necessary for the fault-tolerant and safe operation of unmanned aerial robots. In this work, we present a fault recovery […]

Kavli Affiliate: Thomas Rosenbaum| First 5 Authors: Amazon AGI, Amazon AGI, , , | Summary:We present Amazon Nova, a new generation of state-of-the-art foundation models that deliver frontier intelligence and industry-leading price performance. Amazon Nova Pro is a highly-capable multimodal model with the best combination of accuracy, speed, and cost for a wide range of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Scott K. Cushing | Summary:Understanding how to control changes in electronic structure and related dynamical renormalizations by external driving fields is the key for understanding ultrafast spectroscopy and applications in electronics. Here we focus on the band-gap’s modulation by external electric fields and uncover the effect of band dispersion on the gap renormalization. […]

Kavli Affiliate: 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 to achieve different locomotion modes. However, transforming on the ground requires dealing with the complexity of ground-vehicle […]

Kavli Affiliate: 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 properties. For example, interlocking structures are observed in many strong and tough natural […]

Kavli Affiliate: Austin 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 of these devices by mechanisms such as microwave surface loss. Atomic layer etching (ALE), with its ability to etch with […]

Kavli Affiliate: Linda Ye| Summary:This report presents a new technique to probe the quantitative dynamical response of the magnetic field induced heating/cooling process in rare-earth vanadium materials. The approach combines AC susceptibility and AC caloric measurements to reveal the intrinsic timescale associated with the magnetic relaxation process of rare-earth ions at low temperatures. Utilizing the […]
