Background: In this commentary we present the findings from an international consortium on fish toxicogenomics sponsored by the UK Natural Environment Research...
Rayleigh waves in acoustic emission (AE) applications were examined for nominal 25 mm thick steel plates. Pencil lead breaks (PLBs) were introduced on the top...
The 2009 Materials Research Society (MRS) Spring Meeting took place in San Francisco Moscone Center from April 13 through 17. This large-scale meeting included...

Polarized 3He produced by spin-exchange optical pumping (SEOP) has potential as a neutron spin filter for polarization and polarization analysis in many neutron...
This work reports on the creation and characterization of nanofiber supported bilayers to mimic the hydrodynamic, chemical and mechanical environment provided...
Transistors have been made from single molecules, where the flow of electrons is controlled by modulating the energy of the molecular orbitals. Insight from...
