Present models of the superconducting-to-normal transition in transition-edge sensors (TESs)do not describe the current distribution within a biased TES. This...
We theoretically explore the optical flux lattices produced for ultra-cold atoms subject to laser fields where both the atom-light coupling and the effective...

We present the design for arrays of dual-polarization sensitive, superconducting sensors for far infrared astrophysics. Each pixel is feedhorn-coupled and...
The structure of PA5508 from Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a glutamine synthase (GS) homolog, has been solved at 2.5 Å. Surprisingly, PA5508 forms single hexameric...
