Microfluidic technology promises to revolutionize analytical (bio)chemistry, because molecular separations are faster, less expensive and more efficient than in...
A nanoporous organosilicate low-k dielectric was cured by several techniques: standard furnace cure, a novel ultraviolet (UV) process, and three plasma...
We discuss our approaches for measuring the absolute index (n) and its dependencies on wavelength (dn/d(lambda)) and temperature (dn/dT), of high-purity water...

The cavity ring-down technique is used to probe the absolute optical response of the localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of a gold nanoparticle...
New formulations for the viscosity and thermal conductivity for nitrogen, oxygen, argon and air are given. Air is treated as a pseudo-pure fluid similar to that...
Acetylene decomposition flame propagation was studied as the result of the condensation reaction. The used kinetic models reasonably predict the level of...
This is the third in a series introducing the activity model in the Unified Modeling Language, version 2 (UML 2), and how it integrates with the action model...
This is the fourth in a series introducing the activity model in the Unified Modeling Language, version 2 (UML 2), and how it integrates with the action model...
This paper describes reference algorithms developed at the National Institute of Standards and Technology that fit geometric shapes to data sets according to...

We have developed a new implementation of a Michelson interferometer which has demonstrated better than 20 picometer resolution measurement capability. This new...
An alternative technique for semiconductor metrology and inspection that minimizes, if not eliminates the sample charging is environmental or high pressure...
Networking has become a reality on the industrial floor. Most devices in the industrial environment are networked in order to reduce the cost of installation...

We have utilized cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) to characterize the pressure and carrier gas effects on the shape of a water absorption line. The half...
Foresight and imagination are nothing new to libraries and information professionals. For the past decade we have been coping with and capitalizing on evolving...

A micron-scale differential scanning calorimeter (mDSC) has been produced on a silicon chip allowing for microscopic differential scanning calorimetry...
The impact of a distilled water droplet upon a heated wax surface was investigated experimentally using a high-speed digital camera. The droplet impact Weber...
