Experiments involving entangled photon pairs created via spontaneous parametric down conversion typically use wavelengths in the visible regime. The extension...
The chelation dynamics of [5-C5H4C(O)R]Mn(CO)3 complexes 1 (R = CH2(SCH3)3), 2 (R = CH(SCH3)2), and 3 (R = C(SCH3)3) in room temperature acetonitrile solution...

We use a superconducting single-photon detector with less than 40 Hz dark count rate to measure spontaneous emission lifetimes of quantum wells emitting light...
A sevenfold enhancement of light extraction over a 130 nm bandwidth from a semiconductor at room temperature was achieved using circular Bragg gratings (CBGs)...

The magnitude of the electronic channeling contribution is a significant open issue in the understanding of giant magnetoresistance (GMR). We show that for the...
The concurrent goals of cement hydration are to percolate (bridge) the original cement particles into a load-bearing network and to depercolate (dam) the...
A three-story unreinforced brick building in Clinton, MO, collapsed on June 26, 2006 causing one fatality. The building was built in the 1880s. Two NIST...
We study stable propagation of multiple shape-preserving optical pulses in an inhomogeneously broadened multi-level atomic medium. By analytically solving the...
