We describe the current status of the optical calcium frequency standard with laser-cooled neutral atoms realized in two different laboratories for the purpose...
Spherically-symmetric droplet combustion experiments were performed in an effort to better understand the mechanism leading to sootshell formation. The...
Microscopy of portland cement clinker and cementitous materials dates to the first petrographic microscope in the late 19th century. The development of the...

We investigate the effectiveness of creating polar ground state KRb molecules by two-color photoassociative spectroscopy. In this process the molecules are...
A distribution of particle sizes or particle size distribution (PSD) is a fundamental characteristic of cement powder. Accurate PSDs are required in...

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...
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...
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...
Authentication is the provision of assurance of the claimed identity of an entity. Biometrics is defined as the automated recognition of individuals based on...
