A metafilm is a type of metasurface---a two-dimensional equivalent of a metamaterial, and is essentially a surface distribution of electrically small scatterers...
Seismic risk has social and physical aspects: although very different in nature, they are intertwined and share striking similarities. Seismic risk assessment...

Maximization of the quality factors Q of langasite (LGS) and langatate (LGT) is necessary for optimal performance of acoustic resonators of these materials in...
Oxidatively induced DNA damage is caused by endogenous and exogenous sources in living organisms. Many resulting DNA lesions are mutagenic and lead to mutations...

The rate constant for the gas phase reaction of OH radicals with BTP (2-Bromo-3,3,3-trifluoropropene, CH2=CBrCF3) was measured using a flash photolysis...
Over the last decade, the world of semiconductors has broadened its horizon from More Moore and beyond conventional scaling to More than Moore. Some first...

This review endeavors to summarize the past 40 years or so of progress towards the development of mathematical models for understanding and predicting cement...
Reliable experimental demonstrations of violations of local realism are highly desirable for fundamental tests of Quantum Mechanics. Such violations can be...
Background: We present an approach to cell image databasing that is compatible with searching across a global federation of independent image databases. The...
We present an initial review of a novel through-focus scanning optical microscopy (TSOM) imaging method that produces nanometer dimensional measurement...

We present a novel technique for detecting topological invariants -- Chern numbers -- from time-of-flight images of ultra-cold neutral atoms. The Chern number...
The focus on creating tissue engineered constructs of clinically relevant sizes requires new approaches for monitoring construct health during tissue...

Rechargeable, all-solid state Li-ion batteries (LIBs) with high specific capacity and small footprint are highly desirable to power an emerging class of...
A number of important combinatorial counting problems can be reformulated into the problem of counting the number of leaf nodes on a tree. Since the basic leaf...
