Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: R. Johanna Zijderveld, Isidora Araya Day, Anton R. Akhmerov, , | Summary: The surface states of intrinsic higher order topological phases are protected by the spatial symmetries of a finite sample. This property makes the existing scattering theory of topological invariants inapplicable because the scattering geometry […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Wei Zhang, Mingjian Tang, Haoxuan Mu, Xingzi Yang, Xiaowei Zeng | Summary: In many biological materials such as nacre and bone, the material structure consists of hard grains and soft interfaces, with the interfaces playing a significant role in the material’s mechanical behavior. This type of structures […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Yuxi Sun, Wei Gao, Jing Ma, Hongzhan Lin, Ziyang Luo | Summary: With the rise and widespread use of Large Language Models (LLMs), ensuring their safety is crucial to prevent harm to humans and promote ethical behaviors. However, directly assessing value valence (i.e., support or oppose) by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Johannes Lehmann | First 5 Authors: Johannes Lehmann, Michael Beckmann, , , | Summary: This paper provides a comprehensive, descriptive overview of the current state of digital transformation in the Swiss economy and delineates areas that businesses should keep an eye on. Key findings illustrate that even established technologies are not universally adopted, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Johannes Lehmann | First 5 Authors: Johannes Lehmann, Michael Beckmann, , , | Summary: Using novel survey data from Swiss firms, this paper empirically examines the relationship between the use of digital technologies and the prevalence of performance incentives. We argue that digital technologies tend to reduce the cost of organizational monitoring through […]
Kavli Affiliate: Johannes Lehmann | First 5 Authors: Simon Alexander Wiese, Johannes Lehmann, Michael Beckmann, , | Summary: Using novel establishment-level observational data from Switzerland, we empirically examine whether the usage of key technologies of Industry 4.0 distinguishes across firms with different types of organizational culture. Based on the Technology-Organization-Environment and the Competing Values framework, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Graham R. Fleming | First 5 Authors: Johanna L. Hall, Shiun-Jr Yang, David T. Limmer, Graham R. Fleming, | Summary: Photosystem II (PSII) can achieve near-unity quantum efficiency of light harvesting in ideal conditions and can dissipate excess light energy as heat to prevent formation of reactive oxygen species under light stress. Understanding […]

Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Alejandro A. Stefan-Zavala, Isabel Scherl, Ioannis Mandralis, Steven L. Brunton, Morteza Gharib | Summary: Fan-array wind tunnels are an emerging technology to design bespoke wind fields through grids of individually controllable fans. This design is especially suited for the turbulent, dynamic, non-uniform flow conditions found close to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Tomojit Chowdhury, Aurélie Champagne, Fauzia Mujid, Patrick Knüppel, Zehra Naqvi | Summary: Bilayer crystals, built from monolayers of two-dimensional (2D) crystals with different lattice orientations, generate interlayer potentials leading to unique excitonic properties. However, the ability to tune the interlayer potential is limited by the fixed […]
