Heterozygosity at a conserved candidate sex determination locus is associated with female development in the clonal raider ant

Posted by dbos January 27, 2025February 5, 2025Rockefeller, This Week: Neuroscience

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Kronauer | Authors: Kip D Lacy, Jina Lee, Kathryn Rozen-Gagnon, Wei Wang, Thomas S Carroll and Daniel J C Kronauer | Summary: Sex determination is a developmental switch that triggers sex-specific developmental programs. This switch is “flipped” by the expression of genes that promote male- or female-specific development. Many lineages have evolved […]

Quantum oscillations of holes in GaN

Posted by dbos January 27, 2025February 5, 2025Cornell, This Week: Nanoscience

Kavli Affiliate: Grace Xing | First 5 Authors: Chuan F. C. Chang, Joseph E. Dill, Zexuan Zhang, Jie-Cheng Chen, Naomi Pieczulewski | Summary: GaN has emerged to be a major semiconductor akin to silicon due to its revolutionary impacts in solid state lighting, critically enabled by p-type doping, and high-performance radio-frequency and power electronics. Suffering […]

State Permutation Control in Non-Hermitian Multiqubit Systems with Suppressed Non-Adiabatic Transitions

Posted by dbos January 27, 2025February 5, 2025Berkeley, This Week: Nanoscience

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Ievgen I. Arkhipov, Philippe Lewalle, Franco Nori, Şahin K. Özdemir, K. Birgitta Whaley | Summary: Non-Hermitian systems have been at the focus of intense research for over a decade, partly due to their nontrivial energy topology formed by intersecting Riemann manifolds with branch points known as exceptional […]

Braiding Majoranas in a linear quantum dot-superconductor array: Mitigating the errors from Coulomb repulsion and residual tunneling

Posted by dbos January 27, 2025February 5, 2025Delft, This Week: Nanoscience

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Miles, Francesco Zatelli, A. Mert Bozkurt, Michael Wimmer, Chun-Xiao Liu | Summary: Exchanging the positions of two non-Abelian anyons transforms between many-body wavefunctions within a degenerate ground-state manifold. This behavior is fundamentally distinct from fermions, bosons and Abelian anyons. Recently, quantum dot-superconductor arrays have emerged as […]

A flux-controlled two-site Kitaev chain

Posted by dbos January 27, 2025February 5, 2025Delft, This Week: Nanoscience

Kavli Affiliate: Srijit Goswami | First 5 Authors: Ivan Kulesh, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf, Qingzhen Wang, Vincent P. M. Sietses, Yining Zhang | Summary: In semiconducting-superconducting hybrid devices, Andreev bound states (ABSs) can mediate the coupling between quantum dots (QDs), allowing for the realisation of artificial Kitaev chains. In order to engineer Majorana bound […]

CausalSR: Structural Causal Model-Driven Super-Resolution with Counterfactual Inference

Posted by dbos January 27, 2025February 5, 2025Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Zhengyang Lu, Bingjie Lu, Feng Wang, , | Summary: Physical and optical factors interacting with sensor characteristics create complex image degradation patterns. Despite advances in deep learning-based super-resolution, existing methods overlook the causal nature of degradation by adopting simplistic black-box mappings. This paper formulates super-resolution using structural […]

MM-Retinal V2: Transfer an Elite Knowledge Spark into Fundus Vision-Language Pretraining

Posted by dbos January 27, 2025UCAS

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Ruiqi Wu, Na Su, Chenran Zhang, Tengfei Ma, Tao Zhou | Summary: Vision-language pretraining (VLP) has been investigated to generalize across diverse downstream tasks for fundus image analysis. Although recent methods showcase promising achievements, they significantly rely on large-scale private image-text data but pay less attention to […]

The Ophiuchus DIsk Survey Employing ALMA (ODISEA): Complete Size Distributions for the 100 Brightest Disks Across Multiplicity and SED Classes

Posted by dbos January 27, 2025Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Gregory J. Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Anuroop Dasgupta, Lucas A. Cieza, Camilo I. Gonzalez Ruilova, Trisha Bhowmik, Ms. Prachi Chavan | Summary: The size of a protoplanetary disk is a fundamental property, yet most remain unresolved, even in nearby star-forming regions (d $sim$ 140-200 pc). We present the complete continuum size distribution […]

Two-optical-cycle pulses from nanophotonic two-color soliton compression

Posted by dbos January 26, 2025February 5, 2025Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Robert M. Gray, Ryoto Sekine, Maximilian Shen, Thomas Zacharias, James Williams | Summary: Few- and single-cycle optical pulses and their associated ultra-broadband spectra have been crucial in the progress of ultrafast science and technology. Multi-color waveforms composed of independently manipulable ultrashort pulses in distinct spectral bands offer […]
