Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Yoshua Bengio, Yoshua Bengio, , , | Summary: Rapidly improving AI capabilities and autonomy hold significant promise of transformation, but are also driving vigorous debate on how to ensure that AI is safe, i.e., trustworthy, reliable, and secure. Building a trusted ecosystem is therefore essential — it […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | First 5 Authors: Louis Legrand, Louis Legrand, , , | Summary: Noise maps from CMB experiments are generally statistically anisotropic, due to scanning strategies, atmospheric conditions, or instrumental effects. Any mis-modeling of this complex noise can bias the reconstruction of the lensing potential and the measurement of the lensing power […]
Kavli Affiliate: Marcelo Mattar | Authors: Simone D’Ambrogio, Jan Grohn, Nima Khalighinejad, Marcelo Mattar, Laurence T Hunt and Matthew F Rushworth | Summary: It has been suggested that humans and other animals are driven by a fundamental desire to acquire information about opportunities available in their environments. Not only might such a desire explain pathological […]
Kavli Affiliate: Adam S. Charles | Authors: Sai Koukuntla, Tate DeWeese, Alexandra Cheng, Robyn Mildren, Aamna Lawrence, Austin R Graves, Jennifer Colonell, Timothy D Harris and Adam S Charles | Summary: The growing channel count of silicon probes has substantially increased the number of neurons recorded in electrophysiology (ephys) experiments, rendering traditional manual spike sorting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Cameron | First 5 Authors: Yuanyong Deng, Yuanyong Deng, , , | Summary: The magnetic fields and dynamical processes in the solar polar regions play a crucial role in the solar magnetic cycle and in supplying mass and energy to the fast solar wind, ultimately being vital in controlling solar activities and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis Ho | First 5 Authors: Jian-Fa Wang, Jian-Fa Wang, , , | Summary: We present observations of HCN J=4-3 and HCO^+ J=4-3 lines obtained with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope as part of the MALATANG survey, combined with archival HCN J=1-0 and HCO^+ J=1-0 data from the Green Bank Telescope, to study […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We report the discovery and confirmation of TOI-4465 b, a $1.25^+0.08_-0.07~R_J$, $5.89pm0.26~M_J$ giant planet orbiting a G dwarf star at $dsimeq$ 122 pc. The planet was detected as a single-transit event in data from Sector 40 of the Transiting Exoplanet Survey […]
Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Te Han, Te Han, , , | Summary: The radius of a planet is a fundamental parameter that probes its composition and habitability. Precise radius measurements are typically derived from the fraction of starlight blocked when a planet transits its host star. The wide-field Transiting Exoplanet Survey […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Sinéad M. Griffin, Sinéad M. Griffin, , , | Summary: We perform the first high-throughput search and evaluation of materials that can serve as excellent low-mass dark matter detectors. Using properties of close to one thousand materials from the Materials Project database, we project the sensitivity […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gabriel Silva | Authors: Shahina Akter, Gabriel Vinícius Rolim Silva, Jonas Ivan Nobre Oliveira, Umberto Laino Fulco, Xianyang Xu and Yu Vincent Fu | Summary: The human skin serves as a dynamic ecosystem for beneficial commensal bacteria such as Staphylococcus epidermidis, which play a crucial role in maintaining skin barrier integrity and modulating […]
