K X-rays have been observed in low energy collisions of bare Kr, Ar, and Ne ions ion with neutral gas targets. Although largely previously neglected, we have...
Several rotational lines in the S and Q branches (including the previously unobserved Q32 and Q33 lines) of the 3-0 electric quadrupole band of H2 have been...

This study compares experimental measurements and numerical simulations of liquid droplets over heated and unheated cylinders. The numerical model is based on...
We used a quasi-spherical cavity as an acoustic and microwave resonator to measure the thermodynamic temperatures T of the triple points of mercury, argon, neon...

Effective visualizations can help researchers obtain a more complete understanding of high-level mathematical functions that arise in mathematics, statistics...
We have implemented a quantum key distribution (QKD) system with polarization encoding at 850 nm over 1 km of optical fiber. The high-speed management of the...
