Thermodynamic data are needed for all kind of simulations of materials processes. For example, for kinetic models thermodynamic quantities, such as chemical
There is much research interest toward understanding the phase behavior of colloidal systems interacting with a bridging interaction, where the small solvent
We describe a specialized, in-plane measurement technique that subjects thin sheet metal specimens to longitudinal bidirectional loading. The test provides
We investigate the conformational state of a simple, coarsegrained molecular model for singlestranded DNA chains (ss-DNA) grafted onto spherical symmetric

We develop an effective field theory (EFT) to describe the few- and many-body propagation of one- dimensional Rydberg polaritons. We show that the photonic
Electrodepositing low loadings of metallic nanoparticle catalysts onto the surface of semiconducting photoelectrodes is a highly attractive approach for
