Counter-flow gradient electrofocusing methods are methods whereby a combination of electrophoresis and a bulk solution counter-flow is used to accumulate or
NIST has recently established an institutional membership with the Health Industy Business Communication Council (HIBCC) - the ANSI-accredited standards
Simulation is defined as the imitation of the operation of a system or real-world process over time, and in many cases, manufacturing provides one of the most

The main gel-to-liquid-crystal (LC) phase transition temperature, Tm, of the distal lipid layer in hybrid bilayer membranes (HBMs) under water was investigated
A remarkably large reversible reduction in the critical current of "second generation" high-temperature superconductors for electric power applications has been

We study the time-resolved photoassociation of ultracold sodium in an optical dipole trap. The photoassociation laser excites pairs of atoms to molecular states
Because microwave power measurements are used to support almost every segment of the microwave electronics industry, the accuracy of these measurements is
The design of any process involving supercritical fluids requires some degree of knowledge about the thermophysical and chemical properties of the solvents
SUPERTRAPP version 3.0 is an interactive computer program for predicting thermodynamic and transport properties of pure fluids and fluid mixtures containing up

We have developed a high throughput screening tool that maps out thermoelectric power factors of combinatorial composition-spread film libraries. The screening
A method is presented that allows direct measurement of a wide range of spring constants of cantilevers using an indentation instrument with an integrated
First-principles calculations were used to study the effects of neutral and 2+ charged oxygen vacancies on the dielectric properties of crystalline HfO2. In
