This paper describes a real-time robot vision system which uses only the divergence of the optical flow field for both steering control and collision detection
A personal recollection of the coming-to-an-understanding of select spectroscopic and then chemical physics problems associated with atomic motion triggered by
X-ray mapping is one of the most popular modes for displaying information obtained with x-ray spectrometry performed in the scanning electron microscope
Digitally-recorded electron-excited x-ray maps are processed in a variety of ways to improve the visibility of features. Scaling of the recorded signal to match
A central theme of modern materials science has been the exploration of the relationship between the microstructure of a material and its macroscopic properties
Ultrasonic technology is evolving rapidly. It offers prospects for improving flow measurements, for serving as transfer standards, and possibly for serving as a
Boron is available commercially as high purity (> 0.995) crystalline pieces. Using metallographic sample preparation techniques, these crystalline pieces can be
NIST served as the pilot laboratory for comparisons of air speed measurement capabilities in thirteen participating laboratories in the range of 0.3 to 15 m/s

Remote ice core, snow, and air filter samples can potentially profile past and present atmospheric characteristics, acting as media to preserve populations of
Fatigue crack initiation in initially smooth, defect free samples of ductile metals almost always occurs at the free surface as a result of surface roughening
A brief overview of the 10 classes of polymer phase transitions is given. In each case the basic physics underlying the transition is given. Special attention

Using extensive molecular dynamics of an equilibrium, glass-forming Lennard-Jones mixture, we characterize in detail the local atomic motions. We show that
