High entropy alloys (HEAs) demonstrate high strength, thermal stability, and irradiation resistance, making them desirable for applications in nuclear reactors...
The past decade has seen widespread advances in quality control (QC) materials and software tools focused specifically on mass spectrometry–based proteomics...
We present a study of power spectral density (PSD) estimation from data sampled in the time domain. This work was motivated by our recent development of digital...
A method is described to measure the thermal expansion coefficient of fused quartz glass. The measurement principle is to monitor the change in resonance...
