We present characterization of energetics of the reaction between nickel and silicon thin films using differential scanning nano-calorimetry (nano-DSC). For the...
In recent work, a model for the structural environment of Hg bound to a catalytic DNA sensor was proposed on the basis of EXAFS data analysis. Although severely...
We report a simple strategy to control the pressure-driven flow rates from fluid reservoirs to a microchip in an efficient and compact fashion. We demonstrate...
The future Smart Grid will be a transformation of the current electric grid. The key enablers for this transformation will be dynamic rates and the ability for...

The Institute for Reference Materials and Measurements (IRMM) of the Joint Research Centre (JRC), a Directorate-General of the European Commission, operates the...
We show how a quantum walk can be experimentally realized for a single trapped ion and how to interpolate between the quantum and random walk by randomizing the...
Viscoelastic relaxation processes factor into polymer performance and stability throughout an application lifetime. These relaxations are controlled by the...
For a decade the femtosecond laser based frequency comb has played a key role in high precision optical frequency metrology.While often referred to as a precise...
Microfluidics aims to control precisely the transport of fluids and suspended particles or drops. Here we calculate two characteristics of interest in...
