This Frontiers article describes frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (FS-CRDS), an ultraprecise refinement of conventional cw-CRDS. We review the
Block copolymers offer an appealing alternative to current lithographic techniques with regard to fabrication of the next generation micro- processors. However
Unintentional quantum dots are a common problem for single electron devices in both silicon and carbon. To determine the cause of these dots it is helpful to
