Kavli Affiliate: Julia R. Greer | First 5 Authors: Ottman A. Tertuliano, Bryce W. Edwards, Lucas R. Meza, Vikram S. Deshpande, Julia R. Greer | Summary: Natural hard composites like human bone possess a combination of strength and toughness that exceeds that of their constituents and of many engineered composites. This augmentation is attributed to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Alex M. Ganose, Junsoo Park, Alireza Faghaninia, Rachel Woods-Robinson, Kristin A. Persson | Summary: The electronic transport behaviour of materials determines their suitability for technological applications. We develop an efficient method for calculating carrier scattering rates of solid-state semiconductors and insulators from first principles inputs. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Yuchao Chen, Yunus A. Kinkhabwala, Boris Barron, Matthew Hall, Tomas A. Arias | Summary: Decisions regarding housing, transportation, and resource allocation would all benefit from accurate small-area population forecasts. While various tried-and-tested forecast methods exist at regional scales, developing an accurate neighborhood-scale forecast remains a challenge partly […]

Kavli Affiliate: Michael F. Crommie | First 5 Authors: Canxun Zhang, Tiancong Zhu, Salman Kahn, Shaowei Li, Birui Yang | Summary: The discovery of interaction-driven insulating and superconducting phases in moir’e van der Waals heterostructures has sparked considerable interest in understanding the novel correlated physics of these systems. While a significant number of studies have […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: André Melo, Chun-Xiao Liu, Piotr Rożek, Tómas Örn Rosdahl, Michael Wimmer | Summary: Tunneling conductance spectroscopy in normal metal-superconductor junctions is an important tool for probing Andreev bound states in mesoscopic superconducting devices, such as Majorana nanowires. In an ideal superconducting device, the subgap conductance obeys specific […]
Kavli Affiliate: Naomi S. Ginsberg | First 5 Authors: Connor G. Bischak, Jonathan G. Raybin, Jonathon W. Kruppe, Naomi S. Ginsberg, | Summary: We induce and investigate the coarsening and melting dynamics of an initially static nanoparticle colloidal monolayer at an ionic liquid-vacuum interface, driven by a focused, scanning electron beam. Coarsening occurs through grain […]
Kavli Affiliate: Vinothan N. Manoharan | First 5 Authors: Victoria Hwang, Anna B. Stephenson, Solomon Barkley, Soeren Brandt, Ming Xiao | Summary: Disordered nanostructures with correlations on the scale of visible wavelengths can show angle-independent structural colors. These materials could replace dyes in some applications because the color is tunable and resists photobleaching. However, designing […]

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Jie Xu, Vincent K. N. Lau, Shuguang Cui, | Summary: This paper studies a hierarchical over-the-air computation (AirComp) network over a large area, in which multiple relays are exploited to facilitate data aggregation from massive WDs. We present a two-phase amplify-and-forward (AF) relaying protocol. In […]
