We model "soft" error rates for writing (WSER) and for reading (RSER) for spin-torque memory devices that have a free layer with easy axis perpendicular to the
While cloud security concerns have consistently ranked as one of the top challenges to cloud adoption, it is not clear what security issues are special with
Localizing a fluorescent particle by scanning a focused laser in its vicinity and analyzing the detected photon stream provides real-time information for a
The isomerization and decomposition reactions of 2-pentyl and 3-pentyl radicals have been studied in a single-pulse shock tube over a temperature range of 973 K
