Fabrication of 3D Printed Hydroxyapatite Composite Scaffolds for Bone Regeneration

May 19, 2021
Author(s)
Yoontae Kim, Eun-Jin Lee, Albert Davydov, Stanislav Frakhtbeyen, Jonathan Seppala, Laurence Chow, Tagaki Shozo, Stella Alimperti
Additive biomanufacturing has been adapted in a wide variety of biomedical and tissue engineering applications, including orthopedics. The ability to print biocompatible, patient-specific geometries with controlled porosity, mechanical strength has made

Microplastic Spectral Classification Needs an Open Source Community: Open Specy to the Rescue!

May 19, 2021
Author(s)
Win Cowger, Gray Andrew, Chelsea Rochman, Sebastian Primpke, Jennifer Lynch, Hannah Hapich, Hannah De Frond, Keenan Munno
Microplastic pollution research has suffered from inadequate data and tools for spectral (Raman and infrared) classification. Spectral matching tools often are not accurate for microplastics identification and are cost-prohibitive. Lack of accuracy stems

On the Effect of Projection on Rank Attacks in Multivariate Cryptography

May 19, 2021
Author(s)
Morten Oygarden, Daniel Smith-Tone, Javier Verbel
The multivariate scheme HFEv- used to be considered a promising candidate for a post-quantum signature system. First suggested in the early 2000s, a version of the scheme made it to the third round of the ongoing NIST post-quantum standardization process

Pristine Quantum Criticality in a Kondo Semimetal

May 19, 2021
Author(s)
Wesley T. Fuhrman, Andrey Sidorenko, Jonathan Hanel, Hannes Winkler, Andrey Prokofiev, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, Yiming Qiu, Peter Blaha, Qimiao Si, Collin L. Broholm, Silke Paschen
The observation of quantum criticality in diverse classes of strongly correlated electron systems has been instrumental in establishing ordering principles, discovering new phases, and identifying the relevant degrees of freedom and interactions. At focus

A Model for Excess Johnson Noise in Superconducting Transition-edge Sensors

May 18, 2021
Author(s)
Abigail Wessels, Kelsey Morgan, Dan Becker, Johnathon Gard, Gene C. Hilton, John Mates, Carl D. Reintsema, Dan Schmidt, Daniel Swetz, Joel Ullom, Leila R. Vale, Douglas Bennett
Transition-Edge Sensors (TESs) are two-dimensional superconducting films used to detect energy or power. These detectors are voltage biased in the superconducting transition where the film resistance is both finite and a strong function of temperature

One in seven pathogenic variants can be challenging to detect by NGS: an analysis of 450,000 patients with implications for clinical sensitivity and genetic test implementation

May 18, 2021
Author(s)
Stephen Lincoln, Tina Hambuch, Justin Zook, Sara Bristow, Kathryn Hatchell, Rebecca Truty, Michael Kennemer, Brian Shirts, Andrew Fellowes, Shimul Chowdhury, Eric Klee, Shazia Mahamdallie, Megan Cleveland, Peter Vallone, Yan Ding, Sheila Seal, Wasanthi DeSilva, Farol Tomson, Catherine Huang Huang, Russell Garlick, Nazneen Rahman, Marc L. Salit, Stephen Kingsmore, Matthew Ferber, Swaroop Aradhya, Robert Nussbaum
Next-generation sequencing (NGS) is widely used and cost-effective. However, depending on the specific methods used, NGS can have limitations with certain technically challenging variant types. These types are poorly represented in some validation studies

Environmental Protection Agency Blind Audit 2018

May 17, 2021
Author(s)
Christina Cecelski, Cassie Goodman, Jennifer Carney
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) conducted a blind audit of EPA protocol calibration gas mixtures produced by specialty gas manufactures. The objective was to determine the amount-of-substance fraction (concentration) of the analytes in the

Graded Magnetic Materials

May 17, 2021
Author(s)
Lorenzo Fallarino, Brian Kirby, Eric E. Fullerton
Graded magnetic materials represent a promising new avenue in modern material science from both fundamental and application points of view. Over the course of the last few years, remarkable results have been obtained in (epitaxial) heterostructures based

High-throughput bend-strengths of ultra-small polysilicon MEMS components

May 17, 2021
Author(s)
Robert Cook, Brad Boyce, Lawrence Henry Friedman, Frank DelRio
The strength distribution of polysilicon bend specimens, approximately 10 um in size, is measured using a high-throughput microelectromechanical system fabrication and testing method. The distribution is predicted from reference tests on tensile specimens

SoK: How (not) to Design and Implement Post-Quantum Cryptography

May 17, 2021
Author(s)
James Howe, Thomas Prest, Daniel Apon
Post-quantum cryptography has known a Cambrian Explosion in the last decade. What started as a very theoretical and mathematical area has now evolved into a sprawling research field, complete with side-channel resistant embedded implementations, large

Vitamin D Standardization Program (VDSP) intralaboratory study for the assessment of 25-hydroxyvitamin D assay variability and bias

May 17, 2021
Author(s)
Johanna Camara, Stephen Wise, Christopher T. Sempos, Pierre Lukas, Caroline LeGoff, Stephanie Peeters, Carolyn Burdette, Federica Nalin, Grace Hahm, Ramon Durazo-Arvizu, Adam J. Kuszak, Joyce M. Merkel, E. Cavalier
An intralaborabory comparison study to assess the performance of assays for the determination of serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] was conducted in 2017 as part of the Vitamin D Standardization Program (VDSP). The intralaboratory study consisted of

Edge channels of broken-symmetry quantum Hall states in graphene visualized by atomic force microscopy

May 14, 2021

Joseph A. Stroscio, Sungmin Kim, Johannes Schwenk, Daniel T. Walkup, Yihang Zeng, Fereshte Ghahari, Son T. Le, Marlou R. Slot, Julian Berwanger, Steven R. Blankenship, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Franz Giessibl, Nikolai Zhitenev, Cory Dean
The quantum Hall (QH) effect, a topologically non-trivial quantum phase, expanded and brought into focus the concept of topological order in physics. The topologically protected quantum Hall edge states are of crucial importance to the QH effect but have

Magnetic Ordering in the Ising Antiferromagnetic Pyrochlore Nd 2 ScNbO 7

May 14, 2021

C. Mauws, N. Hiebert, M. Rutherford, H. D. Zhou, Q. Huang, M. B. Stone, Nicholas Butch, Y. Su, E. S. Choi, Z. Yamani, C. R. Wiebe
The question of structural disorder and its effects on magnetism is relevant to a number of spin liquid candidate materials. Although commonly thought of as a route to spin glass behavior, here we describe a system in which the structural disorder destroys
