Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Yujie Lian, Zhichen Pan, Haiyan Zhang, Shuo Cao, P. C. C. Freire | Summary: By January 2025, 60 pulsars were discovered by the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope globular cluster (GC) pulsar survey (GC FANS), with spin periods spanning 1.98 ms to 3960.72 ms. Of these, 55 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Edward M. Bryant, Andrés Jordán, Joel D. Hartman, Daniel Bayliss, Elyar Sedaghati | Summary: Planet formation models suggest that the formation of giant planets is significantly harder around low-mass stars, due to the scaling of protoplanetary disc masses with stellar mass. The discovery of giant planets […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shawn Ferguson | Authors: Layla M Nassar, xiaojian Shi, Agnes Roczniak-Ferguson, Hongying Shen and Shawn M Ferguson | Summary: Lysosomes break down macromolecules, clear cellular waste and recycle nutrients such as cystine. We describe a novel mechanism whereby JIP4 regulates lysosomal cystine storage by controlling the abundance of cystinosin (CTNS), the transporter responsible […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle II Collaboration, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal, H. Ahmed, H. Aihara | Summary: We measure the CP asymmetry in $D^+ to pi^+ pi^0$ decays reconstructed in $e^+ e^-$ collisions at the Belle II experiment using a data set corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 428 fb$^{-1}$. A […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nicola Omodei | First 5 Authors: Nicoló Cibrario, Michela Negro, Raffaella Bonino, Nikita Moriakov, Luca Baldini | Summary: Spatially resolved polarization measurements of extended X-ray sources are expanding our understanding of the emission mechanisms and magnetic field properties involved. Such measurements have been possible in the past few years thanks to the Imaging […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shigeki Matsumoto | First 5 Authors: Shigeki Matsumoto, Jie Sheng, Chuan-Yang Xing, Lin Zhu, | Summary: Light dark matter with sub-eV masses has a high number density in our galaxy, and its scattering cross section with macroscopic objects can be significantly enhanced by coherence effects. Repeated scattering with a target object can induce […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Yadong Jiang, Huan Wang, Jing Wang, , | Summary: We theoretically propose that the van der Waals layered ternary transition metal chalcogenide FeTaX$_2$ (X = S, Se, Te) is a new family of ferrimagnetic quantum anomalous Hall insulators with sizable bulk gap and Chern number C = […]
Kavli Affiliate: Shigeki Matsumoto | First 5 Authors: Yu Watanabe, Alexander Kusenko, Shigeki Matsumoto, , | Summary: We explore whether the unprecedented energy resolution of upcoming gamma-ray telescopes can uncover relativistic effects in photon spectra resulting from dark matter (DM) annihilation or decay near the supermassive black hole (SMBH) at the Galactic Center (GC), specifically, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheng Peng, Jingxiang Sun, Yushuo Chen, Zhaoqi Su, Zhuo Su | Summary: Photorealistic and animatable human avatars are a key enabler for virtual/augmented reality, telepresence, and digital entertainment. While recent advances in 3D Gaussian Splatting (3DGS) have greatly improved rendering quality and efficiency, existing methods still face […]
