A hypothetical protein encoded by the gene YajQ of Haemophilus influenzae was selected, as part of a structural genomics project, for x-ray crystallographic
I review some of the novel methods for measuring ferromagnetic properties of thin films based on micromechanical magnetometers. Measurements rely on the
Dark matter, according to a model of strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions of elementary particles called the SWEEP model, is composed of beauty

Photomask dimensional metrology in the scanning electron microscope (SEM) has not evolved as rapidly as the metrology of resists and integrated circuit features
The scanning electron microscope (SEM) produces images with signals generated through the interaction of the primary electrons and the sample material. The

Subsolidus phase relations have been determined for the BaO: TiO 2Ta 2O 5 system. Approximately 100 specimens were prepared in air at temperatures near but
In this abstract, we report the first measurements of the friction between a fluorocarbon monolayer and a hydrocarbon monolayer. Because the fluorocarbon and
The atomic force microscope is used to measure the tan delta (loss modulus/storate modulus) of a thin film of poly(n-butylacrylate) as a function of frequency

Combinatorial and high-throughput (C&HT) approaches accelerate research by addressing multiple experimental parameters in a parallel highly efficient fashion
Polymer brushes have potential as end-tethered lubricants. Brush layers immersed in a good solvent must be compressed to ~16% of their equilibrium height before
A laser-based O atom beam source together with state-resolved detection techniques are used to characterize the energy transfer dynamics of ground ( 3PJ) and
At the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) we have a capability for conducting cluster SIMS experiments on both our ion microscope and TOF
