Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Julius Wanner, Eric Sihite, Alireza Ramezani, Morteza Gharib, | Summary: The feasibility of performing airborne and ground manipulation, perception, and reconnaissance using wheeled rovers, unmanned aerial vehicles, CubeSats, SmallSats and more have been evaluated before. Among all of these solutions, balloon-based systems possess merits that make them […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ali Hajimiri | First 5 Authors: Volkan Gurses, Reza Fatemi, Aroutin Khachaturian, Ali Hajimiri, | Summary: We introduce a thermo-optic phase shifter (TOPS) array architecture with independent phase control of each phase shifter for large-scale and high-density photonic integrated circuits with two different control schemes: pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) and pulse width modulation […]

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Yang Zhang, Shuai Na, Karteekeya Sastry, Jonathan J. Russin, Peng Hu | Summary: Herein we report the first in-human transcranial imaging of brain function using photoacoustic computed tomography. Functional responses to benchmark motor tasks were imaged on both the skull-less and the skull-intact hemispheres of a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Qinghao Hu, Zhisheng Ye, Peng Sun, Xiaolin Wang | Summary: Deep learning (DL) shows its prosperity in a wide variety of fields. The development of a DL model is a time-consuming and resource-intensive procedure. Hence, dedicated GPU accelerators have been collectively constructed into a GPU […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Fangyu Shen, Wei Gao, , , | Summary: Video-based point cloud compression (V-PCC) has been an emerging compression technology that projects the 3D point cloud into a 2D plane and uses high efficiency video coding (HEVC) to encode the projected 2D videos (geometry video and color video). […]

Kavli Affiliate: Kerry J. Vahala | First 5 Authors: Yu-Hung Lai, Zhiquan Yuan, Myoung-Gyun Suh, Yu-Kun Lu, Heming Wang | Summary: Stimulated Brillouin scattering provides optical gain for efficient and narrow-linewidth lasers in high-Q microresonator systems. However, the thermal dependence of the Brillouin process, as well as the microresonator, impose strict temperature control requirements for […]

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Eric Sihite, Benjamin Mottis, Paul Ghanem, Alireza Ramezani, Morteza Gharib | Summary: There have been several successful implementations of bio-inspired legged robots that can trot, walk, and hop robustly even in the presence of significant unplanned disturbances. Despite all of these accomplishments, practical control and high-level decision-making […]

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Arkadev Roy, Rajveer Nehra, Carsten Langrock, Martin Fejer, Alireza Marandi | Summary: Phase transitions and the associated symmetry breaking are at the heart of many physical phenomena. Coupled systems with multiple interacting degrees of freedom provide a fertile ground for emergent dynamics that is otherwise inaccessible in […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: DRHBc Mass Table Collaboration, Cong Pan, Myung-Ki Cheoun, Yong-Beom Choi, Jianmin Dong | Summary: The aim of this work is to extend the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc) based on the point-coupling density functionals to odd-$A$ and odd-odd nuclei and examine its applicability by taking […]
