Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Ziqiang CHen, Ziqiang CHen, , , | Summary: This letter investigates the robust beamforming design for a near-field secure integrated sensing and communication (ISAC) system with multiple communication users (CUs) and targets, as well as multiple eavesdroppers. Taking into account the channel uncertainty constraints, we maximize the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Archana Raja| Summary:Achieving ultra-low thermal conductivity under ambient conditions is a fundamental challenge constrained by classical heat transport limits and material design trade-offs. Here, we introduce a new class of nano-bubble wrap architectures that achieve exceptionally low thermal conductivity by integrating nanoscale gas confinement with atomically thin, weakly coupled van der Waals solids. […]

Kavli Affiliate: James Analytis| Summary:The cobalt-intercalated transition metal dichalcogenide Co$_x$TaS$_2$ hosts a rich landscape of magnetic phases that depend sensitively on $x$. While the stoichiometric compound with $x=1/3$ exhibits a single magnetic transition, samples with $xleq 0.325$ display two transitions with an anomalous Hall effect (AHE) emerging in the lower temperature phase. Here, we resolve […]

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Siddharth Tiwary, Siddharth Tiwary, , , | Summary: Spin chains with quenched disorder exhibit rich critical behavior, often captured by real-space renormalization group (RSRG) techniques. However, the physics of such systems in the presence of random measurements (i.e., non-Hermitian dephasing) remains largely unexplored. The interplay between […]

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Joohwan Seo, Joohwan Seo, , , | Summary: This paper presents a framework for learning vision-based robotic policies for contact-rich manipulation tasks that generalize spatially across task configurations. We focus on achieving robust spatial generalization of the policy for the peg-in-hole (PiH) task trained from a small […]
