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...
