Identification of critical characteristics of therapeutically active cells, and quantification of those characteristics, are essential for assuring consistency
Palladium is an attractive material for hydrogen and hydrogen-isotope storage applications due to its properties of large storage density and high diffusion of
The size (hydrodynamic or Stokes radius, RH) of non-functionalized CdSeS/ZnS (core/shell) quantum dots (QDs) was characterized by size-exclusion chromatography
We describe an approach for creating a cost-effective, field deployable dynamic pressure standard based on measurement of fundamental quantum properties of
