Advances in roll-to-roll processing of graphene [1] and carbon nanotube [2] have at last led to the continuous production of high-quality coatings and filaments...
The recently developed Flory-Huggins (FH) type general theory for competitive solvation of polymers by two mixed solvents is extended to explain phase...
Bowyer and Ortiz, in their paper "A Critical Examination of the IREX VI Results", make seven criticisms of our application of linear mixed-effects models to...

The relationships among charge order, spin fluctuations, and superconductivity in underdoped cuprates remain controversial. We use neutron scattering techniques...
Photons are not conserved in interactions with other matter. Consequently, when understanding the equation of state and thermodynamics of photons, while we have...

We show that for complex and magnetic atoms chaotic scattering behavior emerges due to anisotropic inter- action potentials and finite Zeeman coupling. This...
We demonstrate photothermally excited force modulation microscopy (PTE FMM) for mechanical property characterization across a broad frequency range with an...

A metrology and data analysis protocol is described for high throughput construction of thermochromic metal-insulator phase diagrams for lightly substituted VO2...
This article describes an apparatus and method for measuring vapor pressures in the range from 1 Pa to 10^5 Pa. Its three distinctive elements are: (1) the...
The static method for measuring vapor pressure assumes that the sample is pure and that its temperature is steady and uniform. In practice, the measured...

A new framework (GenApp) for rapid generation of scientific applications running on a variety of systems including science gateways has recently been developed...
A dimensional analysis on firebrand penetration through a mesh screen was carried out to provide a framework to correlate a limited set of experimental data...
In this article, recent work on calculating high-quality enthalpies of formation for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) based on both density functional...
A key issue in testing is how many tests are needed for a required level of coverage or fault detection. Estimates are often based on error rates in initial...
Equations of state are presented for the refrigerants 1,1,1,2,3,3,3-heptafluoropropane (R-227ea) and 1,1,1,3,3-pentafluorobutane (R-365mfc). Typical...
