Kavli Affiliate: Naomi Ginsberg | First 5 Authors: Clarice D. Aiello, Andrea D. Pickel, Edward Barnard, Rebecca B. Wai, Christian Monachon | Summary: Crucial to analyze phenomena as varied as plasmonic hot spots and the spread of cancer in living tissue, nanoscale thermometry is challenging: probes are usually larger than the sample under study, and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ankit Disa | First 5 Authors: Alexandru B. Georgescu, Oleg E. Peil, Ankit Disa, Antoine Georges, Andrew J. Millis | Summary: In complex oxide materials, changes in electronic properties are often associated with changes in crystal structure, raising the question of the relative roles of the electronic and lattice effects in driving the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Larry Coldren | First 5 Authors: Weiqiang Xie, Jinxi Huang, Tin Komljenovic, Larry Coldren, John Bowers | Summary: In this paper, we demonstrate a radiation-strength-chirped metasurface centimeter-long grating antenna, whose beam quality is approaching the diffraction limit in its footprint with 90 percent efficiency.Instead of chirping the duty cycle to tune radiation strength, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Philip H. Scherrer | First 5 Authors: Sahil Hegde, Monica G. Bobra, Philip H. Scherrer, , | Summary: Solar activity, such as flares, produce bursts of high-energy radiation that temporarily enhance the D-region of the ionosphere and attenuate low-frequency radio waves. To track these Sudden Ionospheric Disturbances (SIDs), which disrupt communication signals and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Patricia Burchat | First 5 Authors: The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration, Rachel Mandelbaum, Tim Eifler, Renée Hložek, Thomas Collett | Summary: The Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) Dark Energy Science Collaboration (DESC) will use five cosmological probes: galaxy clusters, large scale structure, supernovae, strong lensing, and weak lensing. This Science Requirements Document […]
Kavli Affiliate: Pamela J. Bjorkman | First 5 Authors: Tal Einav, Shahrzad Yazdi, Aaron Coey, Pamela J. Bjorkman, Rob Phillips | Summary: Due to the low density of envelope (Env) spikes on the surface of HIV-1, neutralizing IgG antibodies rarely bind bivalently using both antigen-binding arms (Fabs) to crosslink between spikes (inter-spike crosslinking), instead resorting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul W. K. Rothemund | First 5 Authors: Ashwin Gopinath, Chris Thachuk, Anya Mitskovets, Harry A. Atwater, David Kirkpatrick | Summary: DNA origami is a modular platform for the combination of molecular and colloidal components to create optical, electronic, and biological devices. Integration of such nanoscale devices with microfabricated connectors and circuits is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ya M. Blanter | First 5 Authors: J. D. P. Machado, R. J. Slooter, Ya. M. Blanter, , | Summary: We analyze quantum effects occurring in optomechanical systems where the coupling between an optical mode and a mechanical mode is quadratic in displacement (membrane-in-the-middle geometry). We show that it is possible to observe […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce A. Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Alexander Madurowicz, Bruce A. Macintosh, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Jeffery Chilcote, Vanessa P. Bailey | Summary: A semi analytic framework for simulating the effects of atmospheric seeing in Adaptive Optics systems on an 8-m telescope is developed with the intention of understanding the origin of the wind-butterfly, a […]
