The extreme ultraviolet (EUV) spectrum of Ne emitted by a Penning discharge has been recorded at high resolution with a 10.7 m grazing incidence spectrometer...
A review article that looks at the history of time signal stations, beginning with the first radio experiments in the 1890's and continuing to the present day...

Current-voltage measurements of metal-molecule-metal tunnel junctions formed from p-conjugated thiols exhibit an inflection point on a plot of ln(I/V2) against...
We describe a way to obtain biomimetic, hierarchical surface morphologies while maintaining independent control over each generation of the topological...

We employ a capillary drop model and obtain analytical results that allow us to predict the shape of subcritical isotherms inside the coexistence region of...
A new platform, based on film boiling, is described for chemical processing by catalytic decomposition of organic liquids. A model for conversion of pure...

Optical frequency combs generated by femtosecond fiber lasers typically exhibit significant frequency noise that causes broad optical linewidths, particularly...
This paper concerns the efficient implementation of quantum circuits for qudits. We show that controlled two-qudit gates can be implemented without ancillas and...
