We used an optical trap and a high-speed camera to image bubble initiation on the surface of multi-walled carbon nanotubes. The laser wavelength was 1064 nm and
We have developed a polarization independent (PI) spectrometer based on frequency up-conversion technology for single photon level spectrum measurement at the
We developed surrogate mixture models to represent the thermophysical properties of two samples of aviation turbine fuel Jet-A. One sample is a composite of

We show that careful measurements of the unloaded resonant frequency and quality factor of radio frequency identification proximity cards allow identification
Coherent and incoherent scattering of x rays during x-ray absorption imaging of high-intensity discharge lamps have been studied with Monte Carlo simulations

Experimental measurements of domain wall propagation are typically interpreted by comparison to ideal models that ignore the effects of extrinsic disorder and
We show, via simulations, that an optical fiber taper waveguide may be an efficient spectroscopy tool for single emitters, such as single molecules or colloidal

Adsorption kinetics between thiolated polyethylene glycol (SH-PEG) and mercaptoproprionic acid (MPA) on gold nanoparticles (Au-NP) were studied using dynamic
This paper describes a common-view disciplined oscillator (CVDO) that locks to a reference time scale through the use of common-view Global Positioning System

Perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) are globally distributed persistent environmental contaminants. This study provides temporal trends as well as large-scale
We use ''edge mode'' ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) to probe the magentic properties of oxidized Ni 80Fe 20 (Py) nanostripe edges. The oxidation is carried out
We report the results of an international comparison of measurements of radio frequency voltage in the frequency range 1 MHz to 1 GHz. This comparison was
