Nanoelectronic devices based upon self-assembled semiconductor nanowires are excellent research tools for investigating the behavior of structures with sub
The rise of blogging as a new grassroots publishing medium and the many interesting peculiarities that characterize blogs compared to other genres of documents
Under a program to develop a consumer-oriented rating methodology for residential cogeneration fuel cells, the performance of three systems was characterized in
Recent 'NBTI' studies have come to involve very high electric fields, yet these same studies are used to criticize the lower field 'NBTI' models. This study
There are currently 9 cesium fountain primary frequency standards reporting calibrations of TAI to the Bureau International des Poids et Measures (BIPM). An
