We report the results of experiments and simulations on electrokinetic flow in diverging microchannels (with cross sectional area that increases with distance...
Using molecular dynamics simulations we have probed the ion-induced changes in the water structure as the concentration of ion is varied. We consider two ions...

A brief review of atom optics is presented, with emphasis on how it can be applied in the field of nanotechnology. Two specific examples are discussed: laser...
A new software tool, the Maximum Pixel Spectrum detects rare events within a spectrum image data cube, such as that generated with electron-excited energy...
Nanotechnology promises to revolutionize a growing set of materials applications ranging from electronics to drug delivery to ballistic protection. However, the...
This paper reports the development of a calcium phosphate cement, comprising tetracalcium phosphate (TTCP) and dicalcium phosphate dihydrate (DCPD), that...
We used an on-wafer measurement technique that combines two- and three-port frequency-domain mismatch corrections in order to characterize the influence of a...
Authentication is the provision of assurance of the claimed identity of an entity. Biometrics is defined as the automated recognition of individuals based on...
