There are two complementary approaches to realizing quantum information so that it is protected from a given set of error operators. Both involve encoding...
Routing infrastructures are possibly the most vital, complex, and fragile components in the global information infrastructure. They are also the least protected...
Highly crystalline ferroelectric polymer nanometer ultra thin films were characterized with FTIR microspectroscopy mapping technique. The thickness of spin...

Micelles formed of amphiphilic diblock copolymers may have applications in drug delivery and in understanding the physics of biological structures. Wormlike...
Improving the anti-demineralizing/remineralizing and mechanical properties of amorphous calcium phosphate composites has been the focus of our recent research...
We investigate the role of the particle potential symmetry on the form of self-assembly by Monte Carlo simulation with the particular view towards synthetically...
All observed spectral lines of Ne III in the range 204 to 36 m have been compiled and critically evaluated. An optimized level scheme has been derived from the...
K x rays have been observed in low energy collisions of bare Kr, Ar, and Ne ions with a neutral gas target.Although largely neglected previously, we have found...

We report the significant enhancement ($+$24 dB) of the optical beat note between a 657-nm cw laser and the second-harmonic generation of the tailored continuum...
We present a methodology based on grand-canonical transition-matrix Monte Carlo and finite-size scaling analysis to calculate surface tensions in binary...
A single-mode cavity ring-down spectrometer, which incorporates a stabilized and tuneable comb of resonant frequencies and a continuous-wave external-cavity...
The field of artificial intelligence (AI), as we understand it now, got its impetus during a two-month workshop organized by John McCarthy (Stanford University)...
Software agents have been increasingly used in the product and process development in industry over the past years due to the rapid evolvement of the Internet...

We have identified crystal growth conditions in gas-source molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) that lead to spontaneous formation of GaN nanowires with high aspect...
We describe the concept of modularity and versatility in the construction of a new cryogenic radiometer developed at NIST. We address the benefits of the...

Walk-through portal detection systems are being developed to screen passengers for the presence of explosives in support of homeland security. These portals...
We describe primary thermodynamic standards for trace humidity generation maintained at NIST. Also, a discussion of NIST calibration services providing...

The adsorption of PEG-Cl on a.) air-oxidized Ru, b.) reduced or activated Ru and c.) underpotential deposited (upd) Cu on activated Ru was examined in-situ...
We present a portable spectrometer that uses the frequency-stabilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy technique to realize high-precision measurements of trace...
This paper will present the status of the indoor artifact-based Performance Evaluation Facility at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) for...
