The Center for Research on Extreme Batteries

Author(s)
Eric Wachsman, Cynthia Lundgren, Esther S. Takeuchi, Kang Xu, Chunsheng Wang, Joseph Dura, David L. Jacobson, Kahlil Amine, William Acker
How much would you spend on a battery if your life depended on it? Rarely is that question asked as the vast majority of battery development is focused on

Code-division multiplexing (CDM) offers a path to reading out large arrays of transition edge sensor (TES) X-ray micro-calorimeters with excellent energy and

Editorial: Special Issue on Industrial Robot Agility

Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff, Stephen B. Balakirsky, Murad Kurwa
The robotic systems of tomorrow need to be capable, flexible, and agile. These systems need to perform their duties at least as well as human counterparts, be

Interfacial Symmetry Control of Emergent Ferromagnetism at the Nanoscale

Author(s)
Alexander J. Grutter, A. Vailionis, Julie A. Borchers, Brian J. Kirby, C. L. Flint, C. He, E. Arenholz, Y. Suzuki
We demonstrate tunable switching between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic order at the CaRuO 3/CaMnO 3 interface that originates from symmetry differences in

Grover search and the no-signaling principle

Author(s)
Ning Bao, Bouland Adam, Stephen P. Jordan
From an information processing point of view, two of the key properties of quantum physics are the no-signaling principle and the Grover search lower bound

The Origin and Application of Leakage-Infiltration Ratios

Author(s)
Andrew K. Persily, Max Sherman, Benjamin Jones
Infiltration is the ingress of outdoor air under normal operating conditions through adventitious openings located in the façade of a building. The importance

Aspect-ratio driven evolution of high-order resonant modes and near-field distributions in localized surface phonon polariton nanostructures

Author(s)
Joseph G. Tischler, Chase T. Ellis, Orest Glembocki, Francisco Bezares, Alexander Giles, Richard Kasica, Loretta Shirley, Jeffrey C. Owrutsky, Dmitry Chigrin, Joshua Caldwell
Polar dielectrics have garnered much attention as an alternative to plasmonic metals in the mid- to long-wave infrared spectral regime due to their low optical

Three-Dimensional Protonic Conductivity in Porous Organic Cage Solids

Author(s)
Ming Liu, Linjiang Chen, Scott Lewis, Samantha Y. Chong, Marc A. Little, Tom Hasell, Iain M. Aldous, Craig Brown, Martin W. Smith, Carole A. Morrison, Laurence J. Hardwick, Andrew I. Cooper
Proton conduction is a fundamental process in biology and in devices such as proton exchange membrane fuel cells. To maximize proton conduction, 3-D conduction
