Lense-Thirring Precession after a Supermassive Black Hole Disrupts a Star

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Dheeraj R. Pasham, Michal Zajacek, C. J. Nixon, Eric R. Coughlin, Marzena Sniegowska | Summary: An accretion disk formed around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) after it disrupts a star is expected to be initially misaligned with respect to the black hole’s equatorial plane. This misalignment […]

Pheromone representation in the ant antennal lobe changes with age

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Taylor Hart, Lindsey E. Lopes, Dominic D. Frank and Daniel J.C. Kronauer | Summary: While the neural basis of age-related decline has been extensively studied (1–3), less is known about changes in neural function during the pre-senescent stages of adulthood. Adult neural plasticity is likely a key factor in […]

Monoclinic LaSb$_2$ Superconducting Thin Films

Kavli Affiliate: Joseph Falson | First 5 Authors: Adrian Llanos, Giovanna Campisi, Veronica Show, Jinwoong Kim, Reiley Dorrian | Summary: Rare-earth diantimondes exhibit coupling between structural and electronic orders which are tunable under pressure and temperature. Here we present the discovery of a new polymorph of LaSb$_2$ stabilized in thin films synthesized using molecular beam […]

A pulsar-like swing in the polarisation position angle of a nearby fast radio burst

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Ryan Mckinven, Mohit Bhardwaj, Tarraneh Eftekhari, Charles D. Kilpatrick, Aida Kirichenko | Summary: Fast radio bursts (FRBs) last for milliseconds and arrive at Earth from cosmological distances. While their origin(s) and emission mechanism(s) are presently unknown, their signals bear similarities with the much less luminous radio […]

New constraints on ultraheavy dark matter from the LZ experiment

Kavli Affiliate: C. M. Ignarra | First 5 Authors: J. Aalbers, D. S. Akerib, A. K. Al Musalhi, C. S. Amarasinghe, A. Ames | Summary: Searches for dark matter with liquid xenon time projection chamber experiments have traditionally focused on the region of the parameter space that is characteristic of weakly interacting massive particles, ranging […]

Disambiguated Node Classification with Graph Neural Networks

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Tianxiang Zhao, Xiang Zhang, Suhang Wang, , | Summary: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) have demonstrated significant success in learning from graph-structured data across various domains. Despite their great successful, one critical challenge is often overlooked by existing works, i.e., the learning of message propagation that can generalize […]

The lateral habenula is required for maternal behavior in the mouse dam

Kavli Affiliate: David Linden | Authors: Jessie Benedict, Robert H. Cudmore, David J. Linden, Diarra Oden and Aleah Spruell | Summary: Mammalian parenting is an unusually demanding commitment. How did evolution co-opt the reward system to ensure parental care? Previous work has implicated the lateral habenula (LHb), an epithalamic nucleus, as a potential intersection of […]
