Kavli Affiliate: Michael Miller | Authors: Daniel Sobrid-Camean, Bramwell Coulson, Michael Miller, Matthew CW Oswald, Tom Pettini, Richard A Baines and Matthias Landgraf | Summary: As developing networks transition from spontaneous irregular to patterned activity, they undergo plastic tuning phases, termed “critical periods”; “critical” because disturbances during these phases can lead to lasting changes in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lina Necib | First 5 Authors: Abdelaziz Hussein, Lina Necib, Manoj Kaplinghat, Stacy Y. Kim, Andrew Wetzel | Summary: We build a theoretical range for the Milky Way’s (MW) inner dark matter (DM) distribution informed by the FIRE-2, Auriga, VINTERGATAN-GM, and TNG50 simulation suites assuming the canonical cold dark matter (CDM) model. The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Chengqing Xu, Lixin He, Wanchen Tao, Xiaosong Zhu, Feng Wang | Summary: Ultrashort laser pulses carrying orbital angular momentum (OAM) have become essential tools in Atomic, Molecular, and Optical (AMO) studies, particularly for investigating strong-field light-matter interactions. However, controlling and generating ultrashort vortex pulses presents significant challenges, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Xiaowei Ou, Alexander Yelland, Anirudh Chiti, Anna Frebel, Guilherme Limberg | Summary: Dwarf galaxies like Sagittarius (Sgr) provide a unique window into the early stages of galactic chemical evolution, particularly through their metal-poor stars. By studying the chemical abundances of stars in the Sgr core and tidal […]
Kavli Affiliate: Adam S. Charles and Richard Huganir | Authors: Zhining Chen, Gabrielle I. Coste, Evan Li, Richard L. Huganir, Austin R. Graves and Adam Charles | Summary: Synapses are submicron structures that connect and enable communication between neurons. Many forms of learning are thought to be encoded by synaptic plasticity, wherein the strength of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gang Su | First 5 Authors: Jia Wen Li, Gang Su, Bo Gu, , | Summary: Realizing ferromagnetic semiconductors with room Curie temperature $Trm_C$ remains a challenge in spintronics. Inspired by the recent experimental progress on the nanotubes based on 2D van der Waals non-magnetic transition-metal dichalcogenides, magnetic nanotubes based on monolayer ferromagnetic […]
Kavli Affiliate: V. S. Ramachandran | Authors: Marc Turner, Sarah Robinson-Schwartz, Siavash Fazel Darbandi, John L.R. Rubenstein and Vikaas Singh Sohal | Summary: RNA molecules are essential in orchestrating the assembly of biomolecular condensates and membraneless compartments in cells. Many condensates form via the association of RNA with proteins containing specific RNA binding motifs. However, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alex Kolodkin | Authors: Sriram Sudarsanam, Luis Guzman-Clavel, Nyle Dar, Jakub Ziak, Naseer Shahid, Xinyu O Jin and Alex L Kolodkin | Summary: Cortical connectivity is contingent on ordered emergence of neuron subtypes followed by the formation of subtype-specific axon projections. Intracortical circuits, including long-range callosal projections, are crucial for information processing, but […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Rubenstein and Vikaas Sohal | Authors: Marc Turner, Sarah Robinson-Schwartz, Siavash Fazel Darbandi, John L.R. Rubenstein and Vikaas Singh Sohal | Summary: Disruptions in many genes linked to autism spectrum disorder (ASD) affect synaptic function and socioemotional behaviors in mice. However, exactly how synaptic dysfunction alters neural activity patterns underlying behavior remains […]
