In this work we propose a generic and simple definition of a line separating gas-like and liquid-like fluid behaviors in the supercritical region. We argue that...
The hardness of the effective inverse-power-law potential, which can be obtained from thermodynamics or collision integrals, can be used to obtain a coherent...
As an essential part of vehicle networks, the Vehicle to Infrastructure (V2I) needs the support of millimeter wave and massive MIMO technologies to enable high...

The current practice of manually tuning quantum dots (QDs) for qubit operation is a relatively time- consuming procedure that is inherently impractical for...
Nanoscale metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors (MOSFETs) with only one defect at the interface can potentially become a single electron turnstile...
The recognition that large classes of quantum many-body systems have limited - or efficiently representable - entanglement in the ground and low-lying excited...
We perform a systematic study of thermal resistance/conductance of tilt grain boundaries (GBs) in Si using classical molecular dynamics. The GBs studied are...
We present experimental measurements of the density, speed of sound, vapor pressure and dew- point pressure of cis-1,1,1,4,4,4-hexafluorobutene, which is also...
