A metafilm is the surface equivalent of a metamaterial. More precisely, a metafilm is a surface distribution of suitably chosen electrically small scatterers...
This is an Editorial for the October, 2009 issue of IEEE Microwave Magazine. Kate Remley, the Editor-in-Chief, writes about timely topics for the members of the...
A highly conserved 35 nucleotide RNA stem-loop, the dimerization initiation site (DIS), in the 5 untranslated region (UTR) of the human immunodeficiency virus...

The asymptotic critical behavior of the thermal diffusivity of H 2O, deduced from dynamic light-scattering measurements, is shown to be in good agreement with...
Measurements related to nano- and micro- scale science, technology, and manufacturing are pushing the limits of detectable mechanical, electrical, and chemical...
In this paper we explore the combined action of large thermal fluctuations and spin transfer torques on the behavior of magnetic layers in spin valves. We find...
