A polymer microfluidic platform for electrophysiological ion channel measurements is presented. The system includes an open-well bilayer lipid membrane...
The one-dimensional piston shock problem is a classical result of shock wave theory. In this work, the analogous dispersive shock wave (DSW) problem for a...
The variation of the blocking temperature T(subscript B) with measuring frequency f(subscript m) and applied field H are reported for Ni nanoparticles (NPs)...
A recent article [1] presents a semianalytical method to solve the Landau Lifshitz (LL) equation. Spin motion is computed analytically as precession about the...
We use stroboscopic video microscopy to study the motion of a sheared fluid-gel interface. External mechanical noise plays a role analogous to temperature, but...
Single-photon detectors operating at visible and near-infrared wavelengths with high detection efficiency and low noise are a requirement for many quantum...
We have recently introduced several important improvements in the measurement of distillation curves for complex fluids. The modifications to the classical...

We utilize inelastic incoherent neutron scattering (INS) to quantify how fullerenes affect the fast molecular dynamics of a family of polystyrene related...
Possible changes to the International System of Units (SI) are being discussed, including a proposal to define the units by specifying the values of a set of...

A combination of specular and off-specular neutron reflectometry was used to measure the buried lateral roughness of the reaction-diffusion front in a model...
Machine tool chatter has been characterized as isolated periodic solutions or limit cycles of delay differential equations. Determining the amplitude and...
