Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Chun-Xiao Liu, Michael Wimmer, , , | Summary: We study the electronic properties of a planar semiconductor-superconductor heterostructure, in which a thin ferromagnetic insulator layer lies in between and acts as a spin filtering barrier. We find that in such a system one can simultaneously enhance the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Simon Groblacher | First 5 Authors: Jingkun Guo, Simon Gröblacher, , , | Summary: The rapid development of high-Q macroscopic mechanical resonators has enabled great advances in optomechanics. Further improvements could allow for quantum-limited or quantum-enhanced applications at ambient temperature. Some of the remaining challenges include the integration of high-Q structures on a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Chunyang Fu, Ge Li, Rui Song, Wei Gao, Shan Liu | Summary: In point cloud compression, sufficient contexts are significant for modeling the point cloud distribution. However, the contexts gathered by the previous voxel-based methods decrease when handling sparse point clouds. To address this problem, we propose […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Xianghao Zang, Ge Li, Wei Gao, , | Summary: In video surveillance, pedestrian retrieval (also called person re-identification) is a critical task. This task aims to retrieve the pedestrian of interest from non-overlapping cameras. Recently, transformer-based models have achieved significant progress for this task. However, these models […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Paul B. Dieterle, Jenny Zheng, Ethan Garner, Ariel Amir, | Summary: Dynamic instability — the growth, catastrophe, and shrinkage of quasi-one-dimensional filaments — has been observed in multiple biopolymers. Scientists have long understood the catastrophic cessation of growth and subsequent depolymerization as arising from the interplay of […]
Kavli Affiliate: George M. Whitesides | First 5 Authors: Jovanna A. Tracz, Lukas Wille, Dylan Pathiraja, Savita V. Kendre, Ron Pfisterer | Summary: The control of pneumatically driven soft robots typically requires electronics. Microcontrollers are connected to power electronics that switch valves and pumps on and off. As a recent alternative, fluidic control methods have […]
Kavli Affiliate: George M. Whitesides | First 5 Authors: Lauryn Whiteside, Savita V. Kendre, Tian Y. Fan, Jovanna A. Tracz, Gus T. Teran | Summary: Developing soft circuits from individual soft logic gates poses a unique challenge: with increasing numbers of logic gates, the design and implementation of circuits leads to inefficiencies due to mathematically […]

Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Eashan Adhikarla, Dan Luo, Brian D. Davison, , | Summary: Many deep neural networks are susceptible to minute perturbations of images that have been carefully crafted to cause misclassification. Ideally, a robust classifier would be immune to small variations in input images, and a number of defensive […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Yang Xu, Kaifei Kang, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Kin Fai Mak | Summary: Moir’e materials with flat electronic bands provide a highly controllable quantum system for studies of strong-correlation physics and topology. In particular, angle-aligned heterobilayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with large band offset realize […]
