TL;DR: The Lynx architecture enables a broad range of unique and compelling science to be carried out mainly through a General Observer Program, envisioned to include detecting the very first seed black holes, revealing the high-energy drivers of galaxy formation and evolution, and characterizing the mechanisms that govern stellar evolution and stellar ecosystems.

Longitudinal proximity effects in superconducting transition-edge sensors.
John E. Sadleir,John E. Sadleir,Stephen J. Smith,Simon R. Bandler,James A. Chervenak,John R. Clem +5 more
TL;DR: It is found experimentally that the critical current of a square thin-film superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES) depends exponentially upon the side length L and the square root of the temperature T, a behavior that has a natural theoretical explanation in terms of longitudinal proximity effects.
