It has been experimentally observed that amorphous carbon is removed from as-prepared, bulk, single-walled carbon nanotubes by illumination with 248 nm (5 eV)
Microfluidic hydrodynamic focusing of an alcohol/lipid mixture into a narrow fluid stream by two oblique buffer streams provides a controlled and reproducible

Doping with some metals (Fe, Cu, Ga, Mn, Al) reduces or removes the strong thermal hysteresis in the giant magnetocaloric alloys Gd_5}Si_x}Ge_1-x}_4}. We
The nature of the theory of circular Rydberg states of hydrogenlike ions allows highly-accurate predictions to be made for energy levels. In particular
Metal-semiconductor hybrid nanocrystals (HNCs) hold great potential in the fields of photocatalysis, biomedical imaging, and anticancer nanomedicine. However
Because of the fundamental importance of Bell's theorem, a loophole-free demonstration of a violation of local realism is highly desirable. Here, we study

We experimentally map the transverse profile of diffraction-limited beams using photon number resolving detectors. We observe strong compression of diffracted
The reliability polynomial gives the probability that a graph remains connected given that each edge in it can fail independently with a probability p. While in
The Color Rendering Index (CRI) has been shown to have deficiencies when applied to white light-emitting diode (LED) based sources. Further, evidence suggests
We propose a novel procedure for the analysis of key comparison data. The goal of the procedure is to detect biases in the reported measurement results which
The state of knowledge concerning a quantity about which scant specific information is available is often represented by a rectangular probability distribution
