Quantum-mechanical fluctuations in strongly correlated electron systems cause unconventional phenomena such as non-Fermi liquid behavior, and arguably high
A rapidly-solidified Mg-Ni-Pd alloy is shown to exhibit reversible hydrogen-storage of 5 mass % H near atmospheric pressure at a temperature of 473 K, nearly
An amorphous Mg85Ni15 melt-spun hydrogen storage alloy, processed by submersion in an aqueous solution of NH4+, is able to absorb >5 wt. % hydrogen at 473 K
A particularly challenging sample presentation in analytical chemistry is a flowing stream that consists of both a gas and liquid phase, in the situation in
The present investigation was undertaken to construct a new and improved Dragons LAIR facility. This entailed removing the NIST Baby Dragon from the wind
