We use near-field polarimetry (NFP) to investigate thin film crystallites of isotactic polystyrene (iPS). NFP micrographs enabled quantitative optical...
The impact of a single water droplet upon a polished stainless steel surface was imaged using a Digital High Speed Camera at 500, 1000, and 15,000 frames per...
Pairs of trapped atoms can be associated to make a diatomic molecule using a time dependentMagnetic field to ramp the energy of a scattering resonance state...
As the use of high performance concrete has increased, problems with early-age cracking have become prominent. The reduction in w/c ratio, the incorporation of...

MitoMorphy uses a number of publicly available human mitochondrial DNA sequences from different ethnic groups to compare and annotate the associated polymorphic...
The next step in the transition to environmentally safer refrigerants is phase out of R-22. It is the most widely used refrigerant, both in the United States...
An initial proof-of-concept experiment to measure microwave power based on quantum-mechanical principles is presented. Ground state cesium atoms exposed to 9...

Temperature programmed and isothermal fluorescence yield measurements have been used to characterize carbon monoxide oxidation on the Pt(111) surface for oxygen...
Self-hardening calcium phosphate cement (CPC) sets to form hydroxyapatite with high osteoconductivity, but its brittleness and low strength prohibit use in...
Good decision-making is founded on good information. Information technology supporting product lifecycle management ought to provide a high degree of...
