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 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

Monochromatic Measurements of the JPSS-1 VIIRS Polarization Sensitivity

Author(s)
Steven W. Brown, Keith R. Lykke, Jeff McIntire, David Moyer, Eugene Waluschka, Hassan Oudrari, Xiaoxiong Xiong
The polarization sensitivity is a critical parameter that must be characterized for spaceborne remote sensing instruments designed tomeasure reflected solar

OpenCalphad thermodynamic software interface including parallelization

Author(s)
Bo Sundman, Ursula R. Kattner, Christophe Sigli, Matthias Stratmann, Romain Le Tellier, Mauro Palumbo, Suzana G. Fries
Thermodynamic data are needed for all kind of simulations of materials processes. For example, for kinetic models thermodynamic quantities, such as chemical

Effective Field Theory for Rydberg Polaritons

Author(s)
Michael Gullans, Yidan Wang, Jeff D. Thompson, Qiyu Liang, Vladan Vuletic, Mikhail D. Lukin, Alexey V. Gorshkov
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

Terahertz laser power measurement comparison

Author(s)
John H. Lehman, Malcolm G. White, Andreas Steiger, Ralf Mueller, Alberto R. Oliva, Yuqiang Deng, Qing Sun
Abstract: A comparison of terahertz (THz) laser power measurements was undertaken among three national metrology institutes. At two THz frequencies, 2.52 THz
