Kavli Affiliate: Thomas Rosenbaum | First 5 Authors: David Baltimore, Robert Conn, William H Press, Thomas Rosenbaum, David N Spergel | Summary: Scientific research in the United States could receive a large increase in federal funding–up to 100 billion dollars over five years — if proposed legislation entitled the Endless Frontiers Act becomes law. This […]

Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Joeson Wong, Stefan T. Omelchenko, Harry A. Atwater, , | Summary: The theoretical maximum efficiency of a solar cell is typically characterized by a detailed balance of optical absorption and emission for a semiconductor in the limit of unity radiative efficiency and an ideal step-function response […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Joeson Wong, Artur R. Davoyan, Bolin Liao, Andrey Krayev, Kiyoung Jo | Summary: Van der Waals materials exhibit naturally passivated surfaces and can form versatile heterostructures, enabling observation of carrier transport mechanisms not seen in three-dimensional materials. Here we report observation of a "band bending junction", […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sunil Golwala | First 5 Authors: Jack Sayers, Mauro Sereno, Stefano Ettori, Elena Rasia, Weiguang Cui | Summary: We report the non-thermal pressure fraction (Pnt/Ptot) obtained from a three-dimensional triaxial analysis of 16 galaxy clusters in the CLASH sample using gravitational lensing (GL) data primarily from Subaru and HST, X-ray spectroscopic imaging from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Gao, Russ Tedrake, , , | Summary: In this paper, we explore generalizable, perception-to-action robotic manipulation for precise, contact-rich tasks. In particular, we contribute a framework for closed-loop robotic manipulation that automatically handles a category of objects, despite potentially unseen object instances and significant intra-category variations […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | First 5 Authors: Teresa Symons, Michael Zemcov, James Bock, Yun-Ting Cheng, Brendan Crill | Summary: Point-spread function (PSF) estimation in spatially undersampled images is challenging because large pixels average fine-scale spatial information. This is problematic when fine-resolution details are necessary, as in optimal photometry where knowledge of the illumination pattern […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | First 5 Authors: Farzad B. Faramarzi, Peter K. Day, Jacob Glasby, Sasha Sypkens, Marco Colangelo | Summary: Superconducting qubits are widely used in quantum computing research and industry. We describe a superconducting kinetic inductance qubit (and introduce the term Kineticon to describe it) operating at W-band frequencies with a nonlinear […]
Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Christopher Chamberland, Kyungjoo Noh, Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola, Earl T. Campbell, Connor T. Hann | Summary: We present a comprehensive architectural analysis for a proposed fault-tolerant quantum computer based on cat codes concatenated with outer quantum error-correcting codes. For the physical hardware, we propose a system of acoustic resonators […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Kirsti Pajunen, Paolo Celli, Chiara Daraio, , | Summary: In this letter, we provide experimental evidence of bandgap tunability with global prestrain in additively-manufactured tensegrity-inspired lattice structures. These lattices are extremely lightweight and designed to exhibit a nonlinear compressive response that mimics that of a tensegrity structure. […]
