Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Gordon Li, Alireza Marandi, , , | Summary: Networks of coupled nonlinear optical resonators have emerged as an important class of systems in ultrafast optical science, enabling richer and more complex nonlinear dynamics compared to their single-resonator or travelling-wave counterparts. In recent years, these coupled nonlinear optical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Gordon H. Y. Li, Midya Parto, Jinhao Ge, Qing-Xin Ji, Maodong Gao | Summary: A computer’s clock rate ultimately determines the minimum time between sequential operations or instructions. Despite exponential advances in electronic computer performance owing to Moore’s Law and increasingly parallel system architectures, computer clock […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Zhang, Mingjian Tang, Haoxuan Mu, Xingzi Yang, Xiaowei Zeng | Summary: In many biological materials such as nacre and bone, the material structure consists of hard grains and soft interfaces, with the interfaces playing a significant role in the material’s mechanical behavior. This type of structures […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Yuxi Sun, Wei Gao, Jing Ma, Hongzhan Lin, Ziyang Luo | Summary: With the rise and widespread use of Large Language Models (LLMs), ensuring their safety is crucial to prevent harm to humans and promote ethical behaviors. However, directly assessing value valence (i.e., support or oppose) by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Alejandro A. Stefan-Zavala, Isabel Scherl, Ioannis Mandralis, Steven L. Brunton, Morteza Gharib | Summary: Fan-array wind tunnels are an emerging technology to design bespoke wind fields through grids of individually controllable fans. This design is especially suited for the turbulent, dynamic, non-uniform flow conditions found close to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil R. Golwala | First 5 Authors: Fabien Defrance, Andrew D. Beyer, Jordan Wheeler, Jack Sayers, Sunil R. Golwala | Summary: At sub-Kelvin temperatures, two-level systems (TLS) present in amorphous dielectrics source a permittivity noise, degrading the performance of a wide range of devices using superconductive resonators such as qubits or kinetic inductance […]
