Kavli Affiliate: Gregory D. Fuchs | First 5 Authors: Harikrishnan KP, Varun Harbola, Jaehong Choi, Kevin J. Crust, Yu-Tsun Shao | Summary: Modern electromechanical actuators and sensors rely on the piezoelectric effect that linearly couples strain and electric polarization. However, this effect is restricted to materials that lack inversion symmetry. In contrast, the flexoelectric effect […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory D. Fuchs | Summary:Modern electromechanical actuators and sensors rely on the piezoelectric effect that linearly couples strain and electric polarization. However, this effect is restricted to materials that lack inversion symmetry. In contrast, the flexoelectric effect couples strain gradients to electric polarization, and is a universal property in insulating materials of arbitrary […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kyle Shen | First 5 Authors: Ping-Yen Shen, Ping-Yen Shen, , , | Summary: Solar sails enable propellant-free space missions by utilizing solar radiation pressure as thrust. However, disturbance torques act on the solar sail and effective attitude control leads to the continuous accumulation of reaction wheel angular momentum, necessitating an efficient momentum […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Yin Chen, Yin Chen, , , | Summary: This article explores the structure theory of compatible generalized derivations of finite-dimensional $ω$-Lie algebras over a field $mathbbK$. We prove that any compatible quasiderivation of an $ω$-Lie algebra can be embedded as a compatible derivation into a larger $ω$-Lie […]
Kavli Affiliate: Christopher Ober| First 5 Authors: Matthias Mayr, Matthias Mayr, , , | Summary:Trilinos is a community-developed, open-source software framework that facilitates building large-scale, complex, multiscale, multiphysics simulation code bases for scientific and engineering problems. Since the Trilinos framework has undergone substantial changes to support new applications and new hardware architectures, this document is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicholas L. Abbott| First 5 Authors: Robert Besuner, Robert Besuner, , , | Summary:The existence, properties, and dynamics of the dark sectors of our universe pose fundamental challenges to our current model of physics, and large-scale astronomical surveys may be our only hope to unravel these long-standing mysteries. In this white paper, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Kexin Li, Kexin Li, , , | Summary: Biomedical research increasingly relies on heterogeneous, high-dimensional datasets, yet effective visualization remains hindered by fragmented code resources, steep programming barriers, and limited domain-specific guidance. Bizard is an open-source visualization code repository engineered to streamline data analysis in biomedical research. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chris Xu | First 5 Authors: Xiaohao Xu, Xiaohao Xu, , , | Summary: Depth ambiguity is a fundamental challenge in spatial scene understanding, especially in transparent scenes where single-depth estimates fail to capture full 3D structure. Existing models, limited to deterministic predictions, overlook real-world multi-layer depth. To address this, we introduce a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brad Ramshaw | Summary:Recent developments in electron hydrodynamics have demonstrated the importance of considering the full structure of the electron-electron scattering operator, which encodes a sequence of lifetimes, one for each component of the Fermi surface deformation in a multipolar expansion. In this context, the dipolar lifetime is measured by resistivity, whereas the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhiting Tian | First 5 Authors: Yeryun Cheon, Mehrdad T. Kiani, Yi-Hsin Tu, Sushant Kumar, Nghiep Khoan Duong | Summary: Ongoing demands for smaller and more energy efficient electronic devices necessitate alternative interconnect materials with lower electrical resistivity at reduced dimensions. Despite the emergence of many promising candidates, synthesizing high quality nanostructures remains […]
