Previous work showed that the 3He(n,tp) reaction in a cell of 3He at atmospheric pressure generated tens of far-ultraviolet photons per reacted neutron. Here we
The thermal stability of the kerosene-based rocket propellant RP-2 with varying concentrations of the stabilizing additive 1,2,3,4-tetrahydroquinoline (THQ) was

Aqueous solutions of lithium chloride are an excellent model system for studying the dynamics of water molecules down to low temperatures without freezing. The
Small-angle neutron scattering (SANS) has been used to investigate pluronic P85 (EO 26PO 40EO 26) copolymer in deuterated water. A range of P85 fractions were

In this study, a fast drain current measurement methodology which supports the standard threshold voltage and transconductance extractions associated with the
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) now offers a service that provides customers with an oscillator locked to UTC(NIST), the United States
It is known that, if the mid-point of a rectangular distribution is specified, the half-width is inexactly known, and the state of knowledge about the half
