Humans share acoustic preferences with other animals

Kavli Affiliate: Sarah Woolley | Authors: Logan S James, Sarah C Woolley, Jon T Sakata, Courtney B Hilton, Michael J Ryan and Samuel A Mehr | Summary: Many animals produce sounds during courtship, and receivers prefer some sounds over others. Shared ancestry and convergent evolution may generate similarities in preference across species and could underlie […]

TDCOSMO XXIII. First spatially resolved kinematics of the lens galaxy obtained using JWST-NIRSpec to improve time-delay cosmography

Kavli Affiliate: Joshua A. Frieman | First 5 Authors: Anowar J. Shajib, Tommaso Treu, Sherry H. Suyu, David Law, Akın Yıldırım | Summary: Spatially resolved stellar kinematics has become a key ingredient in time-delay cosmography to break the mass-sheet degeneracy in the mass profile and, in turn, provide a precise constraint on the Hubble constant […]

Mapping the projectional architecture of the mouse midbrain dopaminergic system using cell type-specific barcoding

Kavli Affiliate: Justus M Kebschull | Authors: Hyopil Kim, Cheng Xu, Craig Washington, Maggie Lowmann and Justus M Kebschull | Summary: Brain-wide neural circuits are formed by the diverse axonal branching patterns of many individual neurons. Here we introduce POINTseq (projections of interest by sequencing), a high-throughput and user-friendly barcoded connectomics method that uses cell […]

Sifting for a Stream: The Morphology of the $300S$ Stellar Stream

Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Cohen, Alexander P. Ji, Peter S. Ferguson, Sergey E. Koposov, Alex Drlica-Wagner | Summary: Stellar streams are sensitive laboratories for understanding the small-scale structure in our Galaxy’s gravitational field. Here, we analyze the morphology of the $300S$ stellar stream, which has an eccentric, retrograde orbit […]

High-quality metalens enables minimally invasive CFB endoscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Ruixiang Song, Ruixiang Song, , , | Summary: Metalenses, owing to their ultra-thin planar structures, present a promising solution for reducing endoscopic invasiveness. However, achieving high-quality imaging with minimal invasiveness (short focal length of metalens) remains a critical challenge. This paper presents a deep learning assisted metalens […]

Modulating task outcome value to mitigate real-world procrastination via noninvasive brain stimulation

Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Zhiyi Chen, Zhiyi Chen, , , | Summary: Procrastination represents one of the most prevalent behavioral problems affecting individual health and societal productivity. Although it is often conceptualized as a form of self-control failure, its underlying neurocognitive mechanisms are poorly understood. A leading model posits that procrastination […]

A Ground-Based Transit Observation of the Long-Period Extremely Low-Density Planet HIP 41378 f

Kavli Affiliate: David Charbonneau | First 5 Authors: Juliana García-Mejía, Zoë L. de Beurs, Patrick Tamburo, Andrew Vanderburg, David Charbonneau | Summary: We present a ground-based transit detection of HIP 41378 f, a long-period ($P = 542$ days), extremely low-density ($0.09 pm 0.02$ g cm$^{-3}$) giant exoplanet in a dynamically complex system. Using photometry from […]

Planck Constraints on Axion-Like Particles through Isotropic Cosmic Birefringence

Kavli Affiliate: Toshiya Namikawa | First 5 Authors: Toshiya Namikawa, Toshiya Namikawa, , , | Summary: We present constraints on isotropic cosmic birefringence induced by axion-like particles (ALPs), derived from the analysis of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements obtained with the high-frequency channels of Planck. Recent measurements report a hint of isotropic cosmic birefringence, […]
