This article introduces a new department for IT Professional that will cover security in IT systems, ranging from desktops to global e-commerce networks. Our

Predicting Failure in Mammalian Enamel

Author(s)
Brian R. Lawn, James J. Lee, Paul Constantino, Peter Lucas
Dentition is a vital element of human and animal function, yet there is little fundamental knowledge about how tooth enamel endures under stringent oral

Living Anionic Polymerization Using a Microfluidic Reactor

Author(s)
Thomas Q. Chastek, Kazunori Iida, Eric J. Amis, Michael J. Fasolka, Kathryn L. Beers, Jae H. Chun
Living anionic polymerizations were conducted within aluminum-polyimide microfluidic devices. Polymerizations of styrene in cyclohexane were carried out at

Creating a supersolid in one-dimensional Bose mixtures

Author(s)
Ludwig G. Mathey, Ippei Danshita, Charles W. Clark
We identify a one-dimensional supersolid phase in a binary mixture of near-hardcore bosons with weak, local interspecies repulsion. We find realistic conditions

Capillary Rise between Planar Surfaces

Author(s)
Jeffrey W. Bullard, Edward J. Garboczi
Minimization of free energy is used to calculate the equilibrium verticalrise and mensicus shape of a liquid column between two closelyspaced, parallel planar

Miniature atomic magnetometer integrated with flux concentrators

Author(s)
William C. Griffith, Ricardo Jimenez Martinez, Vishal Shah, Svenja A. Knappe, John E. Kitching
A major limitation on the sensitivity of alkali atomic magnetometers, spin-exchange relaxation, can be completely eliminated by operating at low magnetic field

Miniature atomic magnetometer integrated with flux concentrators

Author(s)
William C. Griffith, Svenja A. Knappe, John E. Kitching, Ricardo Jimenez Martinez, Vishal Shah
High permeability magnetic flux concentrators are used to enhance the sensitivity of an atomic magnetometer operating in the spin exchange relaxation free

400-Fold Reduction in Saturation Field by Interlayering

Author(s)
William F. Egelhoff Jr., John E. Bonevich, Philip Pong, John Unguris, Robert D. McMichael, Gery R. Stafford, Carlos R. Beauchamp
The buildup of stress with increasing thickness of magnetic thin films is a common phenomenon that often induces undesirable saturation fields that can convert

Laser-produced X-Ray Sources

Author(s)
Lawrence T. Hudson, J Seely
A formidable array of advanced laser systems are emerging that produce extreme states of light and matter. By irradiating solid and gaseous targets with lasers

Striped Domains at the Pentacene:C60 Interface

Author(s)
Dan B. Dougherty, W Jin, J Cullen, J Reutt-Robey, Steven W. Robey
STM observations of the initial growth stages of the first layer of pentacene on a monolayer film of C60 on Ag(111) are presented. Pentacene films nucleate and
