Kavli Affiliate: Reza Shadmehr | Authors: Mohammad Amin Fakharian, Alden Shoup, Paul Hage, Hisham Elseweifi and Reza Shadmehr | Summary: Null space theory predicts that a neuron will often generate spikes not to produce behavior, but to prevent another neuron’s impact on behavior. Here, we present a direct test of this theory in the brain. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Moritz Guenther | First 5 Authors: Steven M. Silverberg, Scott J. Wolk, David A. Principe, P. Christian Schneider, Hans Moritz Guenther | Summary: HL Tau is one of the most well-studied Class I young stellar objects, including frequent observations at near- and mid-infrared, (sub-) millimeter, and X-ray wavelengths. We present the results of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Sean Heston, Nick Ekanger, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , | Summary: We examine the detectability of $gamma$-ray emission originating from the radioactive decays of unstable nuclei that are synthesized in relativistic outflows launched in magneto-rotational core-collapse supernovae. The observed lines have enhanced energies due to the Lorentz boosted nuclei […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tom Abel | First 5 Authors: Kwanit Gangopadhyay, Arka Banerjee, Tom Abel, , | Summary: The $k$-Nearest Neighbour Cumulative Distribution Functions are measures of clustering for discrete datasets that are fast and efficient to compute. They are significantly more informative than the 2-point correlation function. Their connection to $N$-point correlation functions, void probability […]
Kavli Affiliate: Harry Atwater | First 5 Authors: Bardia Nabavi, Sina Jafari Ghalehkohne, Komron J. Shayegan, Eric J. Tervo, Harry Atwater | Summary: Nonreciprocal thermal emitters that break the conventional Kirchhoff’s law allow independent control of emissivity and absorptivity and promise exciting new functionalities in controlling heat flow for thermal and energy applications. In enabling […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Jane Greenberg, Pamela Boveda-Aguirre, John Allison, Pietro Asinari, Maria Chan | Summary: The materials science community seeks to support the FAIR principles for computational simulation research. The MatCore Project was recently launched to address this need, with the goal of developing an overall metadata framework and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kathleen Cullen and Vikram Chib | Authors: Joonhee Leo Lee, Agostina Casamento-Moran, Amy J Bastian, Kathleen E Cullen and Vikram S. Chib | Summary: Goal-directed motor performance relies on the brain’s ability to distinguish between actions that lead to successful and unsuccessful outcomes. The basal ganglia (BG) and cerebellum (CBL) are integral to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Yu-Hsin Chen, Jimy Encomendero, Huili Grace Xing, Debdeep Jena, | Summary: We report the observation of Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations in coherently strained, low-dislocation AlN/GaN/AlN quantum wells (QWs), including both undoped and $delta$-doped structures. SdH measurements reveal a single subband occupation in the undoped GaN QW and […]

Small, Marc Tittgemeyer and Zachary A Knight | Summary: Animals learn about the external world, in part, via interoceptive signals1,2. For example, the nutrient content of food is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Mansi M. Kasliwal, Nicholas Earley, Roger Smith, Tristan Guillot, Tony Travouillon | Summary: We present Cryoscope — a new 50 sq. deg field-of-view, 1.2 m aperture, K-dark survey telescope to be located at Dome C, Antarctica. Cryoscope has an innovative optical-thermal design wherein the entire telescope […]
