For helium-4, we present ab initio, semi-classical calculations of virial coefficients Bn for for n = 2, 3, 4, and 5 from 50 K to 1000 K. Using our values of B4
Preparing molecules at rest and in a highly pure electronic, rotational and vibrational quantum state is a long standing dream in chemistry and physics, so far

Quantitative size measurements of single linear and circular DNA molecules in nanofluidic slitlike confinement are reported. A novel experimental method using
Contamination of the inner surface of indwelling (implanted) medical devices by microbial biofilm is a serious problem. Some microbial bacteria such as
In this paper, we propose a quantification of the vulnerability of a communication network when links are subject to failures due to the actions of a strategic
Immunomagnetic isolation and magnetophoresis in microfluidics have emerged as viable techniques for the separation, fractionation, and enrichment of rare cells
