Predatory bird species occupy high trophic levels and consequently are susceptible to bioaccumulating high levels of environmental contaminants. To evaluate
Using a spherical harmonic series, the three-dimensional shape of star-shaped particles can be represented mathematically as readily as can a sphere, cube, or
This work introduces and explores Vapor Phase Metal-assisted Chemical Etching (VP-MaCE) of silicon as a method to bypass some of the challenges found in
We demonstrate a fast-responding Kerr phase gate using a room-temperature 85Rb vapor operated in a Raman gain scheme where the probe/signal wave travels

The combination of the resonance-coupled photoconductive decay (RCPCD) apparatus and a pump-probe free carrier absorption experiment results in a method of
The discovery of a natural phenomenon unveils a curtain of ignorance from what has always existed. However, the creation of art requires the use of materials
The surface-directed growth of nanowires (NWs) has been demonstrated for a number of semiconductors and is anticipated to be applicable to a wider group of
