Kavli Affiliate: Herre S. J. Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Van der Waals heterostructures (vdWHs) composed of transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) and layered magnetic semiconductors offer great opportunities to manipulate exciton and valley properties of TMDs. Here, we present magneto-photoluminescence (PL) studies in a WSe2 monolayer (ML) on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Ao Shen, Ao Shen, , , | Summary: Computed Tomography (CT)/X-ray registration in image-guided navigation remains challenging because of its stringent requirements for high accuracy and real-time performance. Traditional "render and compare" methods, relying on iterative projection and comparison, suffer from spatial information loss and domain gap. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Chenhao Zhang, Chenhao Zhang, , , | Summary: Dynamic point cloud compression (DPCC) is crucial in applications like autonomous driving and AR/VR. Current compression methods face challenges with complexity management and rate control. This paper introduces a novel dynamic coding framework that supports variable bitrate and computational […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Chenhao Zhang, Chenhao Zhang, , , | Summary: Neural Video Compression (NVC) has achieved remarkable performance in recent years. However, precise rate control remains a challenge due to the inherent limitations of learning-based codecs. To solve this issue, we propose a dynamic video compression framework designed for […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: TianChen Huang, TianChen Huang, , , | Summary: Traversing narrow beams is challenging for humanoids due to sparse, safety-critical contacts and the fragility of purely learned policies. We propose a physically grounded, two-stage framework that couples an XCoM/LIPM footstep template with a lightweight residual planner and a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: TianChen Huang, TianChen Huang, , , | Summary: Traversing narrow paths is challenging for humanoid robots due to the sparse and safety-critical footholds required. Purely template-based or end-to-end reinforcement learning-based methods suffer from such harsh terrains. This paper proposes a two stage training framework for such narrow […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ali Hajimiri | First 5 Authors: Antonio Victor Machado de Oliveira, Antonio Victor Machado de Oliveira, , , | Summary: Electrical impedance tomography with fully integrated microfluidics and electronics is presented for the first time in a CMOS chip. Chambers and electrodes are fabricated in the interconnect layers of a 65 nm CMOS […]
Kavli Affiliate: James Bock | First 5 Authors: Sean Bryan, Sean Bryan, , , | Summary: SPHEREx is a NASA infrared astronomy mission that launched on March 12th, 2025 and is operating successfully in low-Earth orbit (LEO). The mission is currently observing the entire sky in 102 spectral channels in four independent all-sky surveys and […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Matthew C. H. Leung, Matthew C. H. Leung, , , | Summary: An increasing number of applications in exoplanetary science require spectrographs with high resolution and high throughput without the need for a broad spectral range. Examples include the search for biosignatures through the detection of the […]
