Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Tim Coopmans, Robert Knegjens, Axel Dahlberg, David Maier, Loek Nijsten | Summary: In order to bring quantum networks into the real world, we would like to determine the requirements of quantum network protocols including the underlying quantum hardware. Because detailed architecture proposals are generally too complex for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Jinxu Liu, Wei Gao, Zhanyi Hu, , | Summary: Unlike loose coupling approaches and the EKF-based approaches in the literature, we propose an optimization-based visual-inertial SLAM tightly coupled with raw Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements, a first attempt of this kind in the literature to our […]
Kavli Affiliate: Carlos Bustamante | First 5 Authors: Kerui Peng, Yana Safonova, Mikhail Shugay, Alice Popejoy, Oscar Rodriguez | Summary: With the advent of high-throughput sequencing technologies, the fields of immunogenomics and adaptive immune receptor repertoire research are facing both opportunities and challenges. Adaptive immune receptor repertoire sequencing (AIRR-seq) has become an increasingly important tool […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wise | First 5 Authors: Yi-Hao Chen, Pavel Sidorenko, Frank Wise, , | Summary: We start an environmentally-stable linear Mamyshev oscillator with electronically-controlled modulated pump and a moving filter. It delivers a 21-nJ pulse that becomes 65 fs in duration after a compressor. Reliable starting into stable mode-locking is found achievable with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kerry Vahala | First 5 Authors: Heming Wang, Lue Wu, Zhiquan Yuan, Kerry Vahala, | Summary: Narrow-linewidth lasers are important to many applications spanning precision metrology to sensing systems. Their miniaturization in the form of on-chip lasers is receiving increasing attention. Here, a noise level that is consistent with a fundamental frequency noise […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Sonja Schmid, Cees Dekker, , , | Summary: Proteins are the active working horses in our body. These biomolecules perform all vital cellular functions from DNA replication and general biosynthesis to metabolic signaling and environmental sensing. While static 3D structures are now readily available, observing the functional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Jeff Delaune, Jacob Izraelevitz, Larry A. Young, William Rapin, Evgeniy Sklyanskiy | Summary: Mid-Air Deployment (MAD) of a rotorcraft during Entry, Descent and Landing (EDL) on Mars eliminates the need to carry a propulsion or airbag landing system. This reduces the total mass inside the aeroshell by […]

Kavli Affiliate: P. G. Steeneken | First 5 Authors: D. Afanasiev, J. R. Hortensius, M. Matthiesen, S. Mañas-Valero, M. Šiškins | Summary: Magnetic van der Waals materials provide an ideal playground for exploring the fundamentals of low-dimensional magnetism and open new opportunities for ultrathin spin processing devices. The Mermin-Wagner theorem dictates that as in reduced […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Nils Klughammer, Cees Dekker, , , | Summary: Holes in metal films block any transmitting light if the wavelength is much larger than the hole diameter, establishing such nanopores as so-called Zero Mode Waveguides (ZMWs). Molecules on the other hand, can still passage through these holes. We […]
