Using CO2 as a Ventilation Clue in Classrooms

June 13, 2022
Author(s)
Dustin Poppendieck
In the era of COVID19, we need to quickly find and fix classrooms that have inadequate ventilation to reduce long-range airborne transmission of diseases. Historically, the limited available data has shown classrooms in the United States to be under

Visualization Ecology Applications for Measurement Science: A Visualization Gap Approach

June 13, 2022
Author(s)
Simon Su, William Sherman, Steven G. Satterfield, Terence J. Griffin, William L. George, Sandy Ressler, Shaw C. Feng, Judith E. Terrill
Advanced visualization research have remained insufficiently included in science and engineering workflows due to the highly specialized task-specific requirements and lack of suitable applications. Although the field of visualization is maturing and

Revealing the Symmetry of Materials through Neutron Diffraction

June 12, 2022
Author(s)
William D. Ratcliff
Magnetic materials are used in many devices in everyday life. To control their properties, we must first understand how they are ordered. This can be accomplished through neutron diffraction measurements. However, in many cases, there are too many

New Constraints on Dark Photon Dark Matter with Superconducting Nanowire Detectors in an Optical Haloscope

Jeff Chiles, Ilya Charaev, Asimina Arvanitaki, Masha Baryakhtar, junwu huang, Robert Lasenby, Ken Van Tillburg, Alexana Roshko, George Burton, Marco Colangelo, Sae Woo Nam, Karl Berggren
Uncovering the nature of dark matter is one of the most important goals of particle physics. Light bosonic particles, such as the dark photon, are well-motivated candidates: they are generically long-lived, weakly-interacting, and naturally produced in the

Physics-assisted Generative Adversarial Network for X-Ray Tomography

June 10, 2022

Zhen Guo, Jungki Song, George Barbastathis, Michael Glinsky, Courtenay Vaughan, Kurt Larson, Bradley Alpert, Zachary H. Levine
X-ray tomography is capable of imaging the interior of objects in three dimensions non-invasively, with applications in biomedical imaging, materials study, electronic inspection, and other fields. The reconstruction process can be an ill-conditioned

Evidence that gecko setae are coated with an ordered nanometer-thin lipid film

June 9, 2022
Author(s)
Cherno Jaye, Daniel A. Fischer, Mette Rasmussen, Katinka Holler, Joe Baio, Stanislav Gorb, Tobias Weidner
Motivated by the fascination of gecko adhesion based on the fibrous setae at the tips of their toe pads and their potential for biomimetic applications, the adhesion mechanism has been studied in detail. While the mechanism has been shown to be based on

Photonic crystal resonators for inverse-designed multi-dimensional optical interconnects
