Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Hao Zeng, Feng Wang, Chao Sun, , | Summary: Understanding the solidification dynamics of impacted water droplets is fundamental and crucial for applications, especially with the presence of frost and salt. Here, we experimentally investigate the spreading and freezing dynamics of saline droplets upon impact on a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Mingrui Yu, Boyuan Liang, Xiang Zhang, Xinghao Zhu, Xiang Li | Summary: Most research on deformable linear object (DLO) manipulation assumes rigid grasping. However, beyond rigid grasping and re-grasping, in-hand following is also an essential skill that humans use to dexterously manipulate DLOs, which requires continuously changing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry A. Atwater | First 5 Authors: Hamidreza Akbari, Pankaj K. Jha, Kristina Malinowski, Benjamin E. C. Koltenbah, Harry A. Atwater | Summary: We report on the quantum photon statistics of hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) quantum emitters by analyzing the Mandel Q parameter. We have measured the Mandel Q parameter for h-BN quantum […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Wangqiang Shen, Yuan Shui, Jun Chen, Huaiqiang Wang | Summary: Single-atom magnetism switching is a key technique towards the ultimate data storage density of computer hard disks and has been conceptually realized by leveraging the spin bistability of a magnetic atom under a scanning tunnelling […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Ziyu Liu, Azadeh Alavi, Minyi Li, Xiang Zhang, | Summary: Self-supervised learning (SSL) has recently emerged as a powerful approach to learning representations from large-scale unlabeled data, showing promising results in time series analysis. The self-supervised representation learning can be categorized into two mainstream: contrastive and generative. […]
Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Seokjin Moon, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: The reactive uptake of $mathrm{N_2O_5}$ on sea-spray aerosol plays a key role in regulating NO$_mathrm{x}$ concentration in the troposphere. Despite numerous field and laboratory studies, a microscopic understanding of its heterogeneous reactivity remains unclear. Here, we use […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herre S. J. Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Alessandra Canetta, Serhii Volosheniuk, Sayooj Satheesh, José Pedro Alvarinhas Batista, Aloïs Castellano | Summary: Heat-to-charge conversion efficiency of thermoelectric materials is closely linked to the entropy per charge carrier. Thus, magnetic materials are promising building blocks for highly efficient energy harvesters, as their […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Antonios M. Alvertis, David B. Williams-Young, Fabien Bruneval, Jeffrey B. Neaton, | Summary: Electron-phonon interactions are of great importance to a variety of physical phenomena, and their accurate description is an important goal for first-principles calculations. Isolated examples of materials and molecular systems have emerged where […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lihong Wang | First 5 Authors: Lintao Zhang, Mengqi Wu, Lihong Wang, David C. Steffens, Guy G. Potter | Summary: Image noise and motion artifacts greatly affect the quality of brain MRI and negatively influence downstream medical image analysis. Previous studies often focus on 2D methods that process each volumetric MR image slice-by-slice, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Katia Bertoldi | First 5 Authors: Giovanni Bordiga, Eder Medina, Sina Jafarzadeh, Cyrill Boesch, Ryan P. Adams | Summary: Harnessing the rich nonlinear dynamics of highly-deformable materials has the potential to unlock the next generation of functional smart materials and devices. However, unlocking such potential requires effective strategies to spatially design optimal material […]
