High-Order Coherences of Chaotic and Coherent Optical States

Author(s)
Martin J. Stevens, Burm Baek, Eric Dauler, Andrew J. Kerman, Richard J. Molnar, Scott A. Hamilton, Karl Berggren, Richard P. Mirin, Sae Woo Nam
We demonstrate a new approach to measuring high-order temporal coherences that uses a four-element superconducting nanowire single-photon detector. The four...

Ephemera

The spherical portion of the hydrogen intermolecular potential recently determined in ab initio calculations by Patkowski et al [J. Chem. Phys. 129:094304 (2008...

A New Primary Standardization of Th-229

Author(s)
Ryan P. Fitzgerald, Lizbeth Laureano-Perez, Michelle M. Hammond, Leticia S. Pibida, Svetlana Nour, Brian E. Zimmerman
The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has certified a high-purity Th-229 Standard Reference Material as SRM 4328C, based on live-timed 4-pi...

Density and Speed of Sound Measurements of Hexadecane

Author(s)
Stephanie L. Outcalt, Arno R. Laesecke, Tara J. Fortin
The density and speed of sound of hexadecane have been measured using two instruments. Both instruments use the vibrating-tube method for measuring density...

Low-Cost, High-Throughput, Automated Counting of Bacterial Colonies

Author(s)
Matthew L. Clarke, Robert L. Burton, A. N. Hill, Maritoni A. Litorja, Moon H. Nahm, Jeeseong Hwang
Research involving bacterial pathogens often requires enumeration of bacteria colonies. Here we present a low-cost, high-throughput colony counting system...
