Hydrogen arranges at dislocations in palladium to form nanoscale hydrides, changing the vibrational spectra. An ab initio hydrogen potential energy model versus...
The connectivity of the porosity in cement-based materials has an impact on material durability, the interpretation of experimental measurements such as...
Biology has been an inspiration for designing solutions to many engineering problems including chemical sensing. Modern approaches to chemical sensing have been...

In this paper we demonstrate tunability of a metafilm, which is the two-dimensional equivalent of a metamaterial, also referred to as a metasurface, by changing...
For integral representations of associated Legendre functions in terms of modified Bessel functions, we establish justification for differentiation under the...

Abstract Proteins are dynamic objects, constantly undergoing conformational fluctuations, yet the linkage between internal protein motion and function is widely...
We demonstrate collective atomic recoil motion with a dilute, ultracold, degenerate fermion gas in a single spin state. By utilizing an adiabatically...

The addition of tetrahydrofuran (THF) to aqueous solutions of poly(1,2-butadiene-b-ethylene oxide) [PBPEO] micelles decreased the core-corona interfacial...
Control of single photon wave-packets is an important resource for developing hybrid quantum systems which are composed of different physical systems...

We demonstrate an approach to measure temporal correlations of photons in the near infrared range using frequency up-conversion. In this approach, the near...
Scarification and overlay (SO) procedures are often performed on concrete bridge decks to minimize the corrosion of reinforcing steel due to chloride ingress...
This contribution reviews experimental and theoretical work on spectroscopy of tungsten published since the last critical compilation of the energy levels and...

We used a single, fixed-path-length cylindrical-cavity resonator to measure c 0 = (307.8252 ± 0.0012) m•s −1, the zero-density limit of the speed of sound...
This article gives an example of improving the effectiveness of behavior modeling languages using ontological techniques. The techniques are applied to...
Observations on a Ne:BF3 = 400:1 mixture into which a trace of normal or isotopically enriched water had been introduced, codeposited at 4.3 K with a beam of...

This work demonstrates the capability of hyper-branched PEO polymers to act as a polyelectrolyte for Li-ion batteries. Hyperbranching has been shown to lead to...
Principal component analysis (PCA), microbeam X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometry (µXRF), and Monte Carlo simulations are used to illustrate a methodology for...
