Uncovering the dynamic precursors to motor-driven contraction of active gels

Kavli Affiliate: Gijsje Koenderink | First 5 Authors: Jose Alvarado, Luca Cipelletti, Gijsje Koenderink, , | Summary: Cells and tissues have the remarkable ability to actively generate the forces required to change their shape. This active mechanical behavior is largely mediated by the actin cytoskeleton, a crosslinked network of actin filaments that is contracted by […]

Ground motion prediction at gravitational wave observatories using archival seismic data

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Mittleman | First 5 Authors: Nikhil Mukund, Michael Coughlin, Jan Harms, Sebastien Biscans, Jim Warner | Summary: Gravitational wave observatories have always been affected by tele-seismic earthquakes leading to a decrease in duty cycle and coincident observation time. In this analysis, we leverage the power of machine learning algorithms and archival seismic […]

Candidate Massive Galaxies at $z sim 4$ in the Dark Energy Survey

Kavli Affiliate: Rafe Schindler | First 5 Authors: Pierandrea Guarnieri, Claudia Maraston, Daniel Thomas, Janine Pforr, Violeta Gonzalez-Perez | Summary: Using stellar population models, we predicted that the Dark Energy Survey (DES) – due to its special combination of area (5000 deg. sq.) and depth ($i = 24.3$) – would be in the position to […]

Astrometry and Occultation predictions to Trans-Neptunian and Centaur Objects observed within the Dark Energy Survey

Kavli Affiliate: Alex Drlica Wagner | First 5 Authors: Martin Banda-Huarca, Julio Camargo, Josselin Desmars, Ricardo Ogando, Roberto Vieira-Martins | Summary: Transneptunian objects (TNOs) are a source of invaluable information to access the history and evolution of the outer solar system. However, observing these faint objects is a difficult task. As a consequence, important properties […]

Nonlocal Entanglement and Directional Correlations of Primordial Perturbations on the Inflationary Horizon

Kavli Affiliate: Craig Hogan | First 5 Authors: Craig Hogan, , , , | Summary: Models are developed to estimate properties of relic cosmic perturbations with "spooky" nonlocal correlations on the inflationary horizon, analogous to those previously posited for information on black hole event horizons. Scalar curvature perturbations are estimated to emerge with a dimensionless […]

Magnifications of paired micro-images emerging from a micro-lensing critical curve

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Schechter | First 5 Authors: Luke Weisenbach, Paul Schechter, Joachim Wambsganss, , | Summary: Studies of the inner regions of micro-lensed AGN during caustic crossing events have often relied upon the approximation that the magnification near a fold caustic is inversely proportional to the square root of the source-caustic distance. We examine […]

Global Simulations of Protoplanetary Disk Outflows with Coupled Non-ideal Magnetohydrodynamics and Consistent Thermochemistry

Kavli Affiliate: Lile Wang | First 5 Authors: Lile Wang, Xue-Ning Bai, Jeremy Goodman, , | Summary: Magnetized winds may be important in dispersing protoplanetary disks and influencing planet formation. We carry out global full magnetohydrodynamic simulations in axisymmetry, coupled with ray-tracing radiative transfer, consistent thermochemistry, and non-ideal MHD diffusivities. Magnetized models lacking EUV photons […]

Untethered microbot powered by giant magnetoelastic strain

Kavli Affiliate: Zhigang Suo | First 5 Authors: Yukun Xia, Jikun Wang, Ruisen Yang, Tongqing Lu, Tiejun Wang | Summary: Magnetic elastomers deform under a magnetic field, working as a soft actuator. Untethered microbot made of magnetic elastomers have great potentials in performing medical tasks inside human body as mini doctors. However, the lack of […]

Transport signatures of surface states in a Weyl semimetal: evidence of field driven Fermi arc interferometry

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey Neaton | First 5 Authors: Nityan L. Nair, Marie-Eve Boulanger, Francis Laliberté, Sinead Griffin, Sanyum Channa | Summary: A signature property of Weyl semimetals is the existence of topologically protected surface states – arcs in momentum space that connect Weyl points in the bulk. However, the presence of bulks states makes detection […]
