Kavli Affiliate: L. Mahadevan | First 5 Authors: N. Charles, R. Chelakkot, M. Gazzola, B. Young, L. Mahadevan | Summary: Of the vast variety of animal gaits, one of the most striking is the non-planar undulating motion of a sidewinder. But non-planar gaits are not limited to sidewinders. Here we report a new non-planar mode […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Zui Tao, Bowen Shen, Wenjin Zhao, Nai Chao Hu, Tingxin Li | Summary: The spin Hall effect (SHE), in which electrical current generates transverse spin current, plays an important role in spintronics for the generation and manipulation of spin-polarized electrons. The phenomenon originates from spin-orbit coupling. In […]
Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Máté Kedves, Bálint Szentpéteri, Albin Márffy, Endre Tóvári, Nikos Papadopoulos | Summary: Bilayer graphene (BLG) was recently shown to host a band-inverted phase with unconventional topology emerging from the Ising-type spin–orbit interaction (SOI) induced by the proximity of transition metal dichalcogenides with large intrinsic SOI. Here, we […]

Kavli Affiliate: Timon Idema | First 5 Authors: George Dadunashvili, Timon Idema, , , | Summary: Animal cells are both encapsulated and subdivided by lipid bilayer membranes. Beyond just acting as boundaries, these membranes’ shapes influence the function of cells and their compartments. Physically, membranes are two-dimensional fluids with complex elastic behavior, which makes it […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Aurelie Champagne, Jonah B. Haber, Supavit Pokawanvit, Diana Y. Qiu, Souvik Biswas | Summary: The intrinsic weak and highly non-local dielectric screening of two-dimensional materials is well known to lead to high sensitivity of their optoelectronic properties to environment. Less studied theoretically is the role of […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Hong Zhang, Haewoon Kwak, Wei Gao, Jisun An, | Summary: People who share similar opinions towards controversial topics could form an echo chamber and may share similar political views toward other topics as well. The existence of such connections, which we call connected behavior, gives researchers a […]
