We demonstrate a moveable Rydberg atom based radio frequency (RF) electric (E) field probe. The technique is based on electromagnetically-induced transparency...
A thin superconducting film in the transition between its superconducting and normal states makes an ultra-sensitive thermometer, capable of measuring the...
The fractional frequency comparison of clocks based on different atoms: hydrogen and cesium, is used to test one of the main postulates of general relativity to...
This paper presents the results of a study investigating the correlation between the seismic performance of an ASCE 7 code-compliant steel building with special...
Hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) and hydrochlorofluorocarbon (HCFC) refrigerants with high Global Warming Potential (GWP) will be phased down significantly under the...
