Complex impedance and conductivity were measured for regioregular poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) at alternating current (AC) voltages using a waveform technique
A committee of industry and government technology experts has completed a three-year effort to develop a set of specifications that consist of a unifying set of
Our group has recently published a report of a combinatorial rheometer/viscometer developed in our lab, based on the princinple of a damped harmonic oscillator

Phase shifts and mass flows were measured at the inlet of an inertance tube. and the results are compared with transmission line models. The mass flow rates at
Superconductors offer effectively zero resistance to the flow of electricity and thus have the potential to significantly reduce Joule energy losses in the
We describe dynamic atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques to map the nanoscale elastic properties of surfaces, thin films, and nanostructures. Our approach

In September of 2002, the National Institute of Standards and Technology began a two-year investigation into the World Trade Center (WTC) disaster of September
Surface roughness can affect cell adhesion, morphology, proliferation and differentiation. Since polymeric biomaterials can inherently exhibit nanometer-scale
When analyzing GPS carrier-phase time transfer (GPSCPTT) data, it is often necessary to estimate the zenith troposphere delay (ZTD) at each site as a function

The public time servers operated by USNO and NIST provide time synchronization, directly or indirectly, to millions of Internet computers today. The load in the
The International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) calculates International Atomic Time (TAl) and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) using data from many

In this paper we present the latest progress in the development, fabrication, and characterization of a microfabricated atomic frequency reference at NIST. With
Ultra-low noise microwave oscillators are often required to serve as reference signals in precision PM noise measurement systems and in a host of other
