Thermophysical and thermochemical property data are needed for process design, assuring industrial safety, and many other applications. However, finding and accessing them may be challenging and dependent on the object type: commodity and specialty
We provide an overview of Ukrainian thermophysical research, its historical part and current state. The overview is supplemented by a database indexing thermophysical properties for molecular systems and alloys, as well as lists of scientific journals and
Isobaric specific heat capacities were measured for nine separate aviation turbine fuel samples. The nine samples span the range of fuel types available, including four conventional petroleum-derived fuels, three synthetic fuels derived from the Fischer

Doping of Si using the scanning probe technique of hydrogen depassivation lithography has been shown to enable placing and positioning small numbers of P atoms with nanometer accuracy. Several groups have now used this capability to build devices that

We develop an empirical model for measured frequency-dependent insertion loss (|S21|). The model parameters are determined with a stochastic optimization implementation of the Leven-berg-Marquard method. We compare measured |S21| on TSV-interconnects from

We have leveraged chemical-induced changes to microwave signal propagation characteristics (i.e., S-parameters) to characterize the detection of aliphatic alcohol (methanol, ethanol, and 2-propanol) vapors using TCNQ-doped HKUST-1 metal-organic-framework

Large-area nanopore drilling is a major bottleneck in state-of-the-art nanoporous 2D membrane fabrication protocols. In addition, high-quality structural and statistical descriptions of as-fabricated porous membranes are key to predicting the corresponding

From 1984 to 2017, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Micronutrients Measurement Quality Assurance Program (MMQAP) coordinated 79 "Round Robin" (RR) interlaboratory studies designed to improve measurement comparability among
Standard Reference Material (SRM) 915c Calcium Carbonate is certified as a chemical substance of known purity. It is intended for use in the calibration and standardization of procedures for calcium (Ca) determinations employed in clinical analysis and for

We present a mass-spectral library-based method for analyzing site-specific N-linked protein glycosylation. Its operation and utility are illustrated by applying it to both newly measured and available proteomics data of human milk glycoproteins. It
The review covers wide-ranging electron ionization (EI) dissociation reactions for various acyclic compounds and their derivatives such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, carboxylic acids, amines, halides, thiols, thiones, esters, thioesters, amides and more
Variational autoencoders (VAEs) are rapidly gaining popularity within molecular simulation for discovering low- dimensional, or latent, representations, which are critical for both analyzing and accelerating simulations. However, it remains unclear how the
The state of scientific publications, problems, possible solutions, and underutilized opportunities are discussed on the basis of author's experience as an author, reader, reviewer, and editor.

There is wide industrial interest in developing robust models of long-term (>100years) glass durability. Archeological glass analogs, glasses of similar composition, and alteration conditions to those being tested for durability can be used to evaluate and
Electron-excited X-ray microanalysis with energy-dispersive spectrometry (EDS) proceeds through the application of the software that extracts characteristic X-ray intensities and performs corrections for the physics of electron and X-ray interactions with
Nearly all sectors of analytical chemistry are finding applications for ambient ionization mass spectrometry (AI-MS) due to its ease of use, speed of analysis and sensitivity. While emphasis has been placed on developing new hardware to help analyze unique

It is shown that the residual entropy (entropy minus that of the ideal gas at the same temperature and density) is mostly synonymous with the independent variable of density scaling, identifying a direct link between these two approaches. The residual

Modern design of common adhesives, composites and polymeric parts makes use of polymer glasses that are stiff enough to maintain their shape under a high stress while still maintaining a ductile behavior after the yield point. Typically, material
