Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Needleman | First 5 Authors: Brian D. Leahy, Won-Dong Jang, Helen Y. Yang, Robbert Struyven, Donglai Wei | Summary: A major challenge in clinical In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) is selecting the highest quality embryo to transfer to the patient in the hopes of achieving a pregnancy. Time-lapse microscopy provides clinicians with a wealth […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ariel Amir | First 5 Authors: Yipei Guo, Ariel Amir, , , | Summary: Homeostasis of protein concentrations in cells is crucial for their proper functioning, and this requires concentrations (at their steady-state levels) to be stable to fluctuations. Since gene expression is regulated by proteins such as transcription factors (TFs), the full […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shmuel M. Rubinstein | First 5 Authors: Jovana Andrejevic, Lisa M. Lee, Shmuel M. Rubinstein, Chris H. Rycroft, | Summary: As a confined thin sheet crumples, it spontaneously segments into flat facets delimited by a network of ridges. Despite the apparent disorder of this process, statistical properties of crumpled sheets exhibit striking reproducibility. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Chun-Xiao Liu, Bernard van Heck, Michael Wimmer, , | Summary: We study the equilibrium dc Josephson current in a junction between an $s$-wave and a topological superconductor. Cooper pairs from the $s$-wave superconducting lead can transfer to the topological side either via an unpaired Majorana zero mode […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Cecilia Huertas-Cerdeira, Andres Goza, John E. Sader, Tim Colonius, Morteza Gharib | Summary: The dynamics of a cantilever plate clamped at its trailing edge and placed at a moderate angle ($alpha leq 30^{circ}$) to a uniform flow are investigated experimentally and numerically, and a large experimental data […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory D. Fuchs | First 5 Authors: Raphaël S. Daveau, Tom Vandekerckhove, Arunabh Mukherjee, Zefang Wang, Jie Shan | Summary: Monolayer WSe$_2$ hosts bright single-photon emitters. Because of its compliance, monolayer WSe$_2$ conforms to patterned substrates without breaking, thus creating the potential for large local strain, which is one activation mechanism of its […]
Kavli Affiliate: N. C. Yeh | First 5 Authors: C. -C. Hsu, M. L. Teague, J. -Q. Wang, N. -C. Yeh, | Summary: The existence of nontrivial Berry phases associated with two inequivalent valleys in graphene provides interesting opportunities for investigating the valley-projected topological states. Examples of such studies include observation of anomalous quantum Hall […]
Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: Yun-Ting Cheng, Tzu-Ching Chang, James J. Bock, , | Summary: Line intensity mapping (LIM) is a promising tool to efficiently probe the three-dimensional large-scale structure by mapping the aggregate emission of a spectral line from all sources that trace the matter density field. Spectral lines from […]
Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Eunjong Kim, Xueyue Zhang, Vinicius S. Ferreira, Jash Banker, Joseph K. Iverson | Summary: While designing the energy-momentum relation of photons is key to many linear, non-linear, and quantum optical phenomena, a new set of light-matter properties may be realized by employing the topology of the photonic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lihong V. Wang | First 5 Authors: Huanhao Li, Zhipeng Yu, Yunqi Luo, Shengfu Cheng, Lihong V. Wang | Summary: Speckles arise when coherent light interacts with biological tissues. Information retrieval from speckles is desired yet challenging, requiring understanding or mapping of the multiple scattering process, or reliable capability to reverse or compensate […]
