Sensitivity Study of Operating Conditions and Liquid Water Transport Behavior in an AEMFC Aided by Modeling and Neutron Radiography

June 1, 2025
Author(s)
Mrittunjoy Sarker, Felipe Mojica, Ami Neyerlin, Bryan Pivovar, Daniel Hussey, Jacob LaManna, David Jacobson, Po-Ya Chuang
Two types of anion exchange ionomers, powder and dispersion, are studied in this work. The gas diffusion electrode (GDE) with the dispersion-type ionomer exhibits strong hydrophobicity, thus not enabling sufficient ionic exchange during the potassium

Microstructural Features and Metastable Phase Formation in a High-Strength Aluminum Alloy Fabricated Using Additive Manufacturing

April 25, 2025
Author(s)
Andrew Iams, Jordan Weaver, Brandon Lane, Lucille Giannuzzi, Feng Yi, Darby LaPlant, John Martin, Fan Zhang
Additive manufacturing (AM) has captured recent attention for its potential to fabricate high-strength aluminum alloy components. A detailed understanding of the microstructure under the as-fabricated conditions is required to harness its potential. We

Sampling from exponential distributions in the time domain with superparamagnetic tunnel junctions

April 22, 2025
Author(s)
Temitayo Adeyeye, Sidra Gibeault, Daniel Lathrop, Matthew Daniels, Mark Stiles, Jabez McClelland, William Borders, Jason Ryan, Philippe Talatchian, Ursula Ebels, Advait Madhavan
Though exponential distributions are ubiquitous in statistical physics and related computational models, sampling them from device behavior is rarely done. The superparamagnetic tunnel junction (SMTJ), a key device in probabilistic computing, shows

High-Stability Single-Ion Clock with 5.5 x 10^-19 Systematic Uncertainty

April 21, 2025
Author(s)
Mason Marshall, Daniel Rodriguez Castillo, Willa Dworschack, Alexander Aeppli, Kyungtae Kim, Dahyeon Lee, William Warfield, Nicholas Nardelli, Tara Fortier, Jun Ye, David Ray Leibrandt, David Hume
We report a single-ion optical atomic clock with fractional frequency uncertainty of 5.5 x 10^-19 and frequency stability of 3.5 x 10^-16/sqrttau/s}, based on quantum logic spectroscopy of a single 27Al+ ion. A co-trapped 25Mg+ ion provides sympathetic

Interplay of actin nematodynamics and anisotropic tension controls endothelial mechanics

April 18, 2025
Author(s)
Claire Dessalles, Nicolas Cuny, Arthur Boutillon, Paul Salipante, Avin Babataheri, Abdul Barakat, Guillaume Salbreux
Blood vessels expand and contract actively, while continuously experiencing dynamic external stresses from the blood flow. The mechanical response of the vessel wall is that of a composite material: its mechanical properties depend on its cellular

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 (Thai translation)

April 18, 2025
Author(s)
Cherilyn Pascoe, Stephen Quinn, Karen Scarfone
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 provides guidance to industry, government agencies, and other organizations to manage cybersecurity risks. It offers a taxonomy of high-level cybersecurity outcomes that can be used by any organization —

Wind-Driven Fire Spread to a Structure from Landscape Timbers

April 16, 2025
Author(s)
Erik Johnsson, Kathryn Butler, Marco Fernandez, Wei Tang, Shonali Nazare, Philip Deardorff, Sebastian Arana, Alexander Maranghides
NIST is studying how combustible landscape features around a home burn to better understand their levels of hazard and potential roles in spreading wildland-urban interface (WUI) fires. A series of field experiments was conducted to examine the effects of

Global Burning Properties of Little Bluestem, Excelsior and Douglas Fir

April 15, 2025
Author(s)
Kunhyuk Sung, Eric Mueller, Matthew Bundy, Marco Fernandez, Anthony Hamins
A series of experiments were conducted to better understand the burning characteristics of three types of vegetative fuels: Little Bluestem grass, Douglas fir trees, and Excelsior. The measurements included the transient heat release rate (HRR) determined

Guia Breve sobre la Incertidumbre de Medicion

April 14, 2025
Author(s)
Antonio Possolo, Maria Victoria Gelabert, David Hibbert, Jurgen Stohner, Olha Bodnar, Juris Meija
Esta Guía Breve reintroduce a los lectores en los principales conceptos y herramientas técnicas utilizadas para la evaluación y expresión de la incertidumbre de medición, incluyendo métodos estadísticos clásicos y bayesianos. El enfoque general es el mismo

Efficient Energy Transfer and Photoluminescence Enhancement in 2D MoS2/bulk InSe van der Waals Heterostructures

April 13, 2025
Author(s)
Michael Altvater, Christopher Stevens, Nicholas Pike, Joshua Hendrickson, Rahul Rao, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov, Deep Jariwala, Ruth Patcher, Michael Snure, Nicholas Glavin
Heterostructures between 2D and 3D electron systems remain critically important in developing novel and efficient optoelectronic and electronic devices. In this study, a vertical heterojunction between monolayer MoS2 and bulk InSe was developed. This

Requirements for Cryptographic Accordions

April 11, 2025
Author(s)
Yu Long Chen, Michael Davidson, Morris Dworkin, John Kelsey, Yu Sasaki, Meltem Sonmez Turan, Alyssa Thompson, Nicky Mouha, Donghoon Chang
This report introduces the cryptographic accordion as a tweakable, variable-input-length strong pseudorandom permutation (VIL-SPRP) that is constructed from an underlying block cipher. An accordion facilitates the cryptographic processing of messages of

Topology and Kinetic Pathways of Colloidosome Assembly and Disassembly

April 11, 2025
Author(s)
Raymond Adkins, Joanna Robaszewski, Seungwoo Shin, Fridtjof Brauns, Leroy Jia, Ayantika Khanra, Prerna Sharma, Robert Pelcovits, Thomas Powers, Zvonimir Dogic
Liquid shells, such as lipid vesicles, emulsions, and soap bubbles, are ubiquitous throughout biology, engineered matter, and everyday life. Their creation or disintegration is defined by a singularity separating topologically distinct one-boundary

Application of Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillators to DC Voltage Reference Validation

April 8, 2025
Author(s)
Matthew Spidell, Malcolm White, Alan Jaffe, John Lehman, Gaylon Partain
DC voltage references are typically based on calibrated Zener Diodes which are subject to drift and therefore require periodic recalibration against a Primary Standard. Since it is preferable to maintain constant power to such references, the shipping and

Manipulation of meniscus rise for in situ multiphase nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy

April 8, 2025
Author(s)
Veruska Malave, Newell Moser, Edward Garboczi, Mark McLinden, Jason Widegren, Christopher Suiter
Our earlier work demonstrated that nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a viable technique for in situ analysis of vapor–liquid equilibria (VLE) of fluid mixtures and that inserting a capillary into the NMR sample tube allows the simultaneous

Gauging error of pose acquired by vision systems in bin picking applications

April 7, 2025
Author(s)
Marek Franaszek, Prem Rachakonda, Kamel Saidi
Picking a part from an unorganized pile of parts requires an accurate vision system integrated with a robotic arm. A proper metric for gauging pose error is therefore indispensable. Pose error is a combination of an error in the position vector and an
