Kavli Affiliate: Keith Schwab | First 5 Authors: Zeeshan Ahmed, Yuri Alexeev, Giorgio Apollinari, Asimina Arvanitaki, David Awschalom | Summary: Report of the first workshop to identify approaches and techniques in the domain of quantum sensing that can be utilized by future High Energy Physics applications to further the scientific goals of High Energy Physics. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil R. Golwala | First 5 Authors: Fabien Defrance, Cecile Jung-Kubiak, Jack Sayers, Jake Connors, Clare deYoung | Summary: Although high-resistivity, low-loss silicon is an excellent material for THz transmission optics, its high refractive index necessitates antireflection treatment. We fabricated a wide-bandwidth, two-layer antireflection treatment by cutting subwavelength structures into the silicon surface […]
Kavli Affiliate: Julia R. Greer | First 5 Authors: Xiaoyue Ni, Haolu Zhang, Danilo B. Liarte, Louis W. McFaul, Karin A. Dahmen | Summary: The transition from elastic to plastic deformation in crystalline metals shares history dependence and scale-invariant avalanche signature with other non-equilibrium systems under external loading: dilute colloidal suspensions, plastically-deformed amorphous solids, granular […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry Atwater | First 5 Authors: Dagny Fleischman, Luke Sweatlock, Hirotaka Murakami, Harry Atwater, | Summary: The subwavelength mode volumes of plasmonic filters are well matched to the small size of state-of-the-art active pixels (~ 1 {mu}m) in CMOS image sensor arrays used in portable electronic devices. Typical plasmonic filters exhibit broad (> […]
Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh | First 5 Authors: Zhenjie Feng, Xunqing Yin, Yiming Cao, Xianglian Peng, Tian Gao | Summary: We demonstrate that Mn-doping in the layered sulfides Bi_4O_4S_3 leads to stable Bi_4-x Mn_x O_4 S_3 compounds that exhibit both long-range ferromagnetism and enhanced superconductivity for 0.075 < = x < = 0.15, with […]
Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh | First 5 Authors: J. -K. Chang, C. -C. Hsu, S. -Y. Liu, C. -I Wu, M. Gharib | Summary: The environmental aging effect of doped graphene is investigated as a function of the organic doping species, humidity, and the number of graphene layers adjacent to the dopant by studies […]
Kavli Affiliate: Keith C. Schwab | First 5 Authors: Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer, Peter F. Barker, Angelo Bassi | Summary: Do the laws of quantum physics still hold for macroscopic objects – this is at the heart of Schr"odinger’s cat paradox – or do gravitation or yet unknown effects set a limit for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. Sternberg | First 5 Authors: Franciszek Rakowski, Jagan Srinivasan, Paul W. Sternberg, Jan Karbowski, | Summary: C. elegans is the only animal for which a detailed neural connectivity diagram has been constructed. However, synaptic polarities in this diagram, and thus, circuit functions are largely unknown. Here, we deciphered the likely polarities […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mikhail G. Shapiro | First 5 Authors: Adam H. Marblestone, Bradley M. Zamft, Yael G. Maguire, Mikhail G. Shapiro, Thaddeus R. Cybulski | Summary: Simultaneously measuring the activities of all neurons in a mammalian brain at millisecond resolution is a challenge beyond the limits of existing techniques in neuroscience. Entirely new approaches may […]
Kavli Affiliate: Axel Scherer | First 5 Authors: Se-Heon Kim, Jingqing Huang, Axel Scherer, , | Summary: The use of an optically thick slab may provide versatile solutions for the realization of a current injection type laser using photonic crystals. Here, we show that a transversely higher-order defect mode can be designed to be confined […]
