Reinforcement learning of rare diffusive dynamics (2021)
Journal Article
Das, A., Rose, D. C., Garrahan, J. P., & Limmer, D. T. (2021). Reinforcement learning of rare diffusive dynamics. Journal of Chemical Physics, 155(13), Article 134105. https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0057323

We present a method to probe rare molecular dynamics trajectories directly using reinforcement learning. We consider trajectories that are conditioned to transition between regions of configuration space in finite time, such as those relevant in the...

A stringy perspective on the coincidence problem (2021)
Journal Article
Cunillera, F., & Padilla, A. (2021). A stringy perspective on the coincidence problem. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021(10), Article 55. https://doi.org/10.1007/JHEP10%282021%29055

We argue that, for string compactifications broadly consistent with swampland constraints, dark energy is likely to signal the beginning of the end of our universe as we know it, perhaps even through decompactification, with possible implications for...

Bragg condition for scattering into a guided optical mode (2021)
Journal Article
Olmos, B., Liedl, C., Lesanovsky, I., & Schneeweiss, P. (2021). Bragg condition for scattering into a guided optical mode. Physical Review A, 104(4), Article 043517. https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevA.104.043517

We theoretically investigate light scattering from an array of atoms into the guided modes of a waveguide. We observe that the scattering of a plane-wave laser field into the waveguide modes is dramatically enhanced for angles that deviate from the g...

Mild traumatic brain injury impairs the coordination of intrinsic and motor-related neural dynamics (2021)
Journal Article
Rier, L., Zamyadi, R., Zhang, J., Emami, Z., Seedat, Z. A., Mocanu, S., …Dunkley, B. T. (2021). Mild traumatic brain injury impairs the coordination of intrinsic and motor-related neural dynamics. NeuroImage: Clinical, 32, Article 102841. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nicl.2021.102841

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) poses a considerable burden on healthcare systems. Whilst most patients recover quickly, a significant number suffer from sequelae that are not accompanied by measurable structural damage. Understanding the neural u...

Immune-Related Genetic Overlap Between Regional Gray Matter Reductions and Psychiatric Symptoms in Adolescents, and Gene-Set Validation in a Translational Model (2021)
Journal Article
Penninck, L., Ibrahim, E. C., Artiges, E., Gorgievski, V., Desrivières, S., Farley, S., …Martinot, J. (2021). Immune-Related Genetic Overlap Between Regional Gray Matter Reductions and Psychiatric Symptoms in Adolescents, and Gene-Set Validation in a Translational Model. Frontiers in Systems Neuroscience, 15, 1-14. https://doi.org/10.3389/fnsys.2021.725413

Adolescence is a period of vulnerability for the maturation of gray matter (GM) and also for the onset of psychiatric disorders such as major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. Chronic neuroinflammation is considered to pl...

Galaxy Zoo DECaLS: Detailed visual morphology measurements from volunteers and deep learning for 314 000 galaxies (2021)
Journal Article
Walmsley, M., Lintott, C., Géron, T., Kruk, S., Krawczyk, C., Willett, K. W., …MacMillan, C. (2022). Galaxy Zoo DECaLS: Detailed visual morphology measurements from volunteers and deep learning for 314 000 galaxies. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 509(3), 3966-3988. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2093

We present Galaxy Zoo DECaLS: detailed visual morphological classifications for Dark Energy Camera Legacy Survey images of galaxies within the SDSS DR8 footprint. Deeper DECaLS images (r = 23.6 versus r = 22.2 from SDSS) reveal spiral arms, weak bars...

Time-gated Raman spectroscopy for biomedical application under ambient or strong background light conditions (2021)
Journal Article
Corden, C., Boitor, R., & Notingher, I. (2021). Time-gated Raman spectroscopy for biomedical application under ambient or strong background light conditions. Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 54(50), Article 504003. https://doi.org/10.1088/1361-6463/ac276e

Many biomedical applications require measurements of Raman spectra of tissue under ambient lighting conditions. However, the background light often swamps the weaker Raman signal. The use of time-gated (TG) Raman spectroscopy based on a single photon...

Independent contribution of polygenic risk for schizophrenia and cannabis use in predicting psychotic-like experiences in young adulthood: testing gene × environment moderation and mediation (2021)
Journal Article

Psychological Medicine, 53(5), 1759-1769. https://doi.org/10.1017/s0033291721003378

Background
It has not yet been determined if the commonly reported cannabis–psychosis association is limited to individuals with pre-existing genetic risk for psychotic disorders.

Methods
We examined whether the relationship between polygenic ri... Read More about Independent contribution of polygenic risk for schizophrenia and cannabis use in predicting psychotic-like experiences in young adulthood: testing gene × environment moderation and mediation.

Chemical shielding of H2O and HF encapsulated inside a C60 cage (2021)
Journal Article

Molecular surgery provides the opportunity to study relatively large molecules encapsulated within a fullerene cage. Here we determine the location of an H2O molecule isolated within an adsorbed buckminsterfullerene cage, and compare this to the intr...

The mean free path of ionizing photons at 5 < z < 6: evidence for rapid evolution near reionization (2021)
Journal Article
Becker, G. D., D’Aloisio, A., Christenson, H. M., Zhu, Y., Worseck, G., & Bolton, J. S. (2021). The mean free path of ionizing photons at 5 < z < 6: evidence for rapid evolution near reionization. Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 508(2), 1853-1869. https://doi.org/10.1093/mnras/stab2696

The mean free path of ionizing photons, λmfp, is a key factor in the photoionization of the intergalactic medium (IGM). At z ≳ 5, however, λmfp may be short enough that measurements towards QSOs are biased by the QSO proximity effect. We present new...
