Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Tim Cunningham, Ilaria Caiazzo, Nikolaus Z. Prusinski, James Fuller, John C. Raymond | Summary: The recently discovered Pa 30 nebula, the putative type Iax supernova remnant associated with the historical supernova of 1181 AD, shows puzzling characteristics that make it unique among known supernova remnants. In particular, […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Matthew C. H. Leung, Colby A. Jurgenson, Andrew Szentgyorgyi, Brian McLeod, Cem Onyuksel | Summary: The Hartmann test is a method used to measure the wavefront error in a focal optical system, wherein a mask with a pattern of small holes is placed at the system’s aperture […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Ben J. Sutlieff, Jayne L. Birkby, Jordan M. Stone, Annelotte Derkink, Frank Backs | Summary: The time variability and spectra of directly imaged companions provide insight into their physical properties and atmospheric dynamics. We present follow-up R~40 spectrophotometric monitoring of red companion HD 1160 B at 2.8-4.2 […]

Kavli Affiliate: Radhika Nagpal | First 5 Authors: Thiemen Siemensma, Darren Chiu, Sneha Ramshanker, Radhika Nagpal, Bahar Haghighat | Summary: Robot swarms can effectively serve a variety of sensing and inspection applications. Certain inspection tasks require a binary classification decision. This work presents an experimental setup for a surface inspection task based on vibration sensing […]
Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: Salem Mosleh, Gary P. T. Choi, L. Mahadevan, , | Summary: Temporal imaging of biological epithelial structures yields shape data at discrete time points, leading to a natural question: how can we reconstruct the most likely path of growth patterns consistent with these discrete observations? We present […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Giovanni Bordiga, Eder Medina, Sina Jafarzadeh, Cyrill Boesch, Ryan P. Adams | Summary: Harnessing the rich nonlinear dynamics of highly-deformable materials has the potential to unlock the next generation of functional smart materials and devices. However, unlocking such potential requires effective strategies to spatially design optimal material […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Brenner | First 5 Authors: Mohammed Alhashim, Kaylie Hausknecht, Michael Brenner, , | Summary: Inverse design of complex flows is notoriously challenging because of the high cost of high dimensional optimization. Usually, optimization problems are either restricted to few control parameters, or adjoint-based approaches are used to convert the optimization problem into […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael P. Brenner | First 5 Authors: Haining Pan, Nayantara Mudur, Will Taranto, Maria Tikhanovskaya, Subhashini Venugopalan | Summary: Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated an unprecedented ability to perform complex tasks in multiple domains, including mathematical and scientific reasoning. We demonstrate that with carefully designed prompts, LLMs can accurately carry out key […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Cesar L. Pastrana, Luyi Qiu, John W. Hutchinson, Ariel Amir, Ulrich Gerland | Summary: Take a drinking straw and bend it from its ends. After sufficient bending, the tube buckles forming a kink, where the curvature is localized in a very small area. This instability, known generally […]
