Concrete is a good example of a composite material in which the inclusions (rocks and sand) are surrounded by a thin shell of altered matrix material and...
8-Hydroxyadenine (8-OH-Ade) is one of the major lesions, which is formed in DNA by hydroxyl radical attack on the C-8 position of adenine followed by oxidation...
Radiolysis of liquid 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium (BMI +) salts leads to formation of several species with similar absorption spectra. To identify and...
To address a fundamental need in stable isotope metrology, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has established a Web-based interactive...
We report calculations of effective attenuation lengths (EALs) for Si 2p photoelectrons in silicon dioxide at photoelectron energies between 82 and 1385 eV...
