Traditional technologies for far-infrared (FIR) spectroscopy generally involve bulky dispersive optics. Integrated filter bank spectrometers promise more compact designs, but implementations using superconducting transmission line networks become lossy at terahertz frequencies. We describe a novel on-chip spectrometer architecture designed to extend this range.

Article Synopsis
  • The origins of treponemal diseases, like syphilis, have been difficult to trace, especially regarding their emergence in 15th century Europe, potentially linked to Columbus' voyages to the Americas.
  • Recent analysis of ancient DNA reveals that treponemal infections existed in early modern Europe and colonial Mexico, but there's been a lack of dated evidence from before the trans-Atlantic contact.
  • This study presents treponemal genomes from 2,000-year-old remains in Brazil, suggesting that modern subspecies diverged earlier than previously thought, and highlights the adaptability of these pathogens, opening new avenues for understanding their evolution and spread.

We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2, Keck Array, and BICEP3 CMB polarization experiments up to and including the 2018 observing season. We add additional Keck Array observations at 220 GHz and BICEP3 observations at 95 GHz to the previous 95/150/220  GHz dataset. The Q/U maps now reach depths of 2.

In this study, we shed light on the interdependency of child growth, morbidity and life expectancy in the fisher-hunter-gatherers of the Jabuticabeira II shell mound (1214-830 cal B.C.E.

We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the bicep2/Keck CMB polarization experiments up to and including the 2015 observing season. This includes the first Keck Array observations at 220 GHz and additional observations at 95 and 150 GHz. The Q and U maps reach depths of 5.
