Survey of agricultural plastic waste in the American Midwest: usage and disposal

January 1, 2026
Author(s)
Julie Rieland, Christina Gore, Kalman Migler, Kathryn Beers
An estimated 4 % of global plastics are used for agricultural applications in forms such as films, jugs, fence posts, and hoses. However, there is limited data on actual use, and more importantly on its fate at end of life. We first present a comprehensive

Chemical Kinetics and Fire

December 31, 2025
Author(s)
Gregory Linteris, John Griffiths
The purpose of this chapter is to set out the principles of chemical kinetics as they apply to combustion in flames and fires. Chemical equilibrium, which was discussed in a previous chapter, deals with the final preferred state of a given set of reactants

Author(s)
Gregory Strouse, Claire Saundry, Timothy Wood, Philip Bennett, Mary Bedner, Jeremy Schultz
The U.S. science and research ecosystem retains its leadership by actively engaging with the global community through the conduct of mutually beneficial collaborative research and the welcoming of international scientists. Coupled with that, the national

Environmental Measurements: A Needs Assessment

November 19, 2025
Author(s)
Julia Marrs, David Allen, Gerald Fraser
A summary is provided of the presentations, discussion, and findings from a two-and-a-half-day workshop on environmental measurements focusing on needs for new measurement science and measurement standards to support the characterization of ecological

Compatibility of trapped ions and dielectrics at cryogenic temperatures

November 17, 2025
Author(s)
Margaret Bruff, Lindsay Sonderhouse, Kaitlyn David, Daniel Slichter, Dietrich Leibfried, Jules Stuart
We study the impact of an unshielded dielectric\textemdash here, a bare optical fiber\textemdash on a $^40}$Ca$^+}$ ion held several hundred $\mu$m away in a cryogenic surface electrode trap. We observe distance-dependent stray electric fields of up to a

AI and Flow Cytometry

November 10, 2025
Author(s)
Dawei Lin, Anupama Gururaj, Sheng Lin-Gibson, Lili Wang
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) are transforming biotechnology and playing a key role in bioeconomy. One of the most important measurement capabilities at the forefront of biotechnology innovations is flow cytometry (FCM), a high

Multi-timescale Frequency-Phase Matching for High-Yield Nonlinear Photonics

Mahmoud Jalali Mehrabad, Lida Xu, Gregory Moille, Christopher Flower, Supratik Sarkar, Apurva Padhye, Shao-Chien Ou, Daniel Suarez-Ferero, Mahdi Ghafariasl, Yanne K. Chembo, Kartik Srinivasan, Mohammad Hafezi
Integrated nonlinear photonics struggles to deliver wafer-scale functional device yields: Nanometer-level fabrication variations compromise the strict frequency-phase matching mandated by energy- and momentum-conserving nonlinear processes. We introduce

The structure and morphology of single-component oligomeric RNA delivery vectors derived from amphiphilic Charge-Altering Releasable Transporters

November 6, 2025
Author(s)
Paul Hurst, Yuan Jia, Summer Ramsay-Burrough, Rebecca McClellan, Joshua Arens, Samuel Khasnavis, Trevor del Castillo, Mahmoud AbdElwakil, Michael Lueckheide, Vivek Prabhu, Robert Waymouth
Recent advances in nucleic acid delivery have been inspired by efforts to mimic the function of natural viruses through the development of self-assemblies capable of transporting oligonucleotides across the cell and endosomal membranes. Lipid nanoparticles

AI-Powered ParaView for NIST: Enabling Accessible Scientific Visualization

November 3, 2025
Author(s)
Simon Su, William Sherman, Judith Terrill
This position paper outlines the research agenda for National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)'s AI-Powered ParaView effort and how the research directly addresses and supports multiple action items within the America's AI Action Plan. How this

Would Human-Robot Interaction Conferences Benefit From More Formal Reporting?

Author(s)
Patrick Holthaus, Alessandra Rossi, Snehesh Shrestha, Wing-Yue Louie, aysegul ucar, Daniel Hernandez Garcia, Frank Forster, Antonio Andriella, Shelly Bagchi
In an interdisciplinary and evolving research field like human-robot interaction, clear and precise results reporting is essential for study comparability and replicability. To address the lack of a standard for such reporting and, at the same time

Use Case Decomposition for multi-standard Management to Enable Flexible Supply Chain

October 27, 2025
Author(s)
Elena Jelisic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Salifou Sidi Mahaman Malick, Hakju Oh, Joshua Ki
Flexibility is identified as a mandatory characteristic of today's supply chains. There are a few aspects of supply chain flexibility identified in the literature, and one of them is flexible supply chain integration. The standard for exchanging supply

A formal Fe(III)/(V) redox couple in an intercalation electrode
