We report a time-domain method of stabilizing the carrier-envelope phase (CEP) of femtosecond pulses. Temporal variations of the pulse envelope and the carrier...
1964 seems just like yesterday to me, yet it was 50 years ago. The Cryogenic Society of America (CSA) was born that year, and I was just beginning my...

Layer-by-Layer (LbL) assembled multilayer thin films of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), chitosan (CHI), and montmorillonite (MMT), were studied in an effort to...
Electrons in a so-called topological insulator circulate around the materials boundary without ever straying into the bulk. Uncharged photons can be induced to...
The orientation, stress, and strain in a single crystalline sample of barium titanate, containing relatively large (0.5 μm to 14.5 μm), parallel, lamellar...
