Kavli Affiliate: Barbara Baird | Summary:Lipid phase heterogeneity in the plasma membrane is thought to be crucial for many aspects of cell signaling, but the physical basis of participating membrane domains such as "lipid rafts" remains controversial. Here we consider a lattice model yielding a phase diagram that includes several states proposed to be relevant […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chris B. Schaffer | Summary:The health and function of tissue rely on its vasculature network to provide reliable blood perfusion. Volumetric imaging approaches, such as multiphoton microscopy, are able to generate detailed 3D images of blood vessels that could contribute to our understanding of the role of vascular structure in normal physiology and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhiting Tian | First 5 Authors: Chi Li, Chi Li, , , | Summary: We prove the Yau-Tian-Donaldson’s conjecture for any $mathbbQ$-Fano variety that has a log smooth resolution of singularities such that the discrepancies of all exceptional divisors are non-positive. In other words, if such a Fano variety is K-polystable, then it […]
Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Ralph | First 5 Authors: Ralph Henstock, Ralph Henstock, , , | Summary: Ralph Henstock (1923 – 2007) worked in non-absolute integration, including the Riemann-complete or gauge integral which, independently, Jaroslav Kurzweil also discovered in the 1950’s. As a Cambridge undergraduate Henstock took a course of lectures, by J.C. Burkill, on the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zefang Wang, Zefang Wang, , , | Summary: Electrons in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) possess both the valley and spin degree of freedom. These internal quantum degrees of freedom have provided an ideal laboratory for exploring both new physical phenomena and electronics and photonics applications. Valley- […]

Kavli Affiliate: Amal El-Ghazaly | Summary:The demand on mobile electronics to continue to shrink in size while increase in efficiency drives the demand on the internal passive components to do the same. Power amplifiers require inductors with small form factors, high quality factors, and high operating frequency in the single-digit GHz range. This work explores […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kinfai Mak | First 5 Authors: Simon Mak, Simon Mak, , , | Summary: This paper introduces a new way to compact a continuous probability distribution $F$ into a set of representative points called support points. These points are obtained by minimizing the energy distance, a statistical potential measure initially proposed by Székely […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicholas L. Abbott | Summary:Fundamental studies of the effect of specific ions on hydrophobic interactions are driven by the need to understand phenomena such as hydrophobically driven self-assembly or protein folding. Using beta-peptide-inspired nano-rods, we investigate the effects of both free ions (dissolved salts) and proximally immobilized ions on hydrophobic interactions. We find […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard D. Robinson | Summary:Electron tomography in materials science has flourished with the demand to characterize nanoscale materials in three dimensions (3D). Access to experimental data is vital for developing and validating reconstruction methods that improve resolution and reduce radiation dose requirements. This work presents five high-quality scanning transmission electron microscope (STEM) tomography […]
