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...
