Jonathan G. Fiscus, Haiying Guan, Andrew Delgado, Timothee N. Kheyrkhah, Yooyoung Lee, Daniel F. Zhou, Amy Yates
Media forensics is the science and practice of determining the authenticity and establishing the integrity of audio and visual media. DARPA's Media Forensics (MediFor) program brings together world-class researchers to develop technologies for the

Photodynamics of [FeFe]-Hydrogenase Model Compounds with Bidentate Heterocyclic Ligands

July 23, 2019
Author(s)
Wyatt Thornley, Sarah Wirick, Maximilian Riedel-Topper, Nathan J. DeYonker, Thomas E. Bitterwolf, Christopher J. Stromberg, Edwin J. Heilweil
Two asymmetrically structured model compounds for the hydrogen-generating [Fe-Fe]-hydrogenase active site were investigated to determine the ultrafast photodynamics, structural intermediates, and photoproducts compared to more common symmetric di-iron

Quantized Pulse Propagation in Josephson Junction Arrays

July 23, 2019
Author(s)
Christine A. Donnelly, Justus Brevik, Nathan Flowers-Jacobs, Anna Fox, Paul Dresselhaus, Peter F. Hopkins, Samuel Benz
We present time-domain electrical measurements and simulations of the quantized voltage pulses that are generated from series-connected Josephson junction (JJ) arrays. The transmission delay of the JJ array can lead to a broadening of the net output pulse

Wenrui Wang, Tao Wang, Vivek P. Amin, Yang Wang, Anil Radhakrishna, Angie Davidson, Shane Allen, Thomas J. Silva, Hendrik Ohldag, Davor Balzar, Barry L. Zink, Paul M. Haney, John Xiao, D.G. Cahill, Virginia O. Lorenz, Xin Fan
Spin-orbit interaction (SOI) couples charge and spin transport, enabling electrical control of magnetization, the foundation of next-generation spintronic devices. A quint essential example of SOI-induced transport is the anomalous Hall effect (AHE), first

Developing Next-generation Brain Sensing Technologies - A Review

July 22, 2019
Author(s)
Jacob T. Robinson, Eric Pohlmeyer, Malte C. Gather, Caleb Kemere, John Kitching, George G. Malliaras, Adam Marblestone, Kenneth L. Shepard, Thomas Stieglitz, Chong Xie
Advances in sensing technology raise the possibility of creating neural interfaces that can more effectively restore or repair neural function and reveal fundamental properties of neural information processing. To realize the potential of these

Materials Science in the AI age: high-throughput library generation, machine learning and a pathway from correlations to the underpinning physics

July 22, 2019
Author(s)
Kamal Choudhary, Aaron G. Kusne, Francesca M. Tavazza, Jason R. Hattrick-Simpers, Rama K. Vasudevan, Apurva Mehta, Ryan Smith, Lukas Vlcek, Sergei V. Kalinin, Maxim Ziatdinov
The use of advanced data analytics, statistical and machine learning approaches (‘AI’) to materials science has experienced a renaissance, driven by advances in computer sciences, availability and access of software and hardware, and a growing realization

Precision, Tunable Deuterated Polyethylene via Polyhomologation

July 22, 2019
Author(s)
Wesley Farrell, Sara Orski, Anthony Kotula, Kathryn Beers, Daniel Baugh
Polyhomologation (also known as "C1 polymerization") of a deuterated ylide has been performed, which yields linear polyethylene of high deuterium content. Copolymerization with the protonated analog allows for the preparation of sta-tistical copolymers, in

Quantum-enhanced sensing of a mechanical oscillator

July 22, 2019
Author(s)
Katherine C. McCormick, Jonas Keller, Shaun C. Burd, David J. Wineland, Andrew C. Wilson, Dietrich Leibfried
The use of special quantum states in interferometry with bosons to achieve sensitivities below the limits established by classical-like coherent dates back decades and has enjoyed immense success since its inception. Squeezed states, number states, and cat

PROBABILITY OF DETECTION OF X-RAY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY OF ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS

Felix H. Kim, Adam L. Pintar, Jason C. Fox, Jared B. Tarr, M A. Donmez, Anne-Fran?oise Obaton
A methodology to determine probability of detection (POD) of X-ray Computed Tomography (XCT) was developed using Additive Manufacturing defects. A signal response POD analysis (a^ vs a) was used, where both signal response (a^) and true defect size (a)

Quantum interference enables constant-time quantum information processing

Thomas Gerrits, Sae Woo Nam, Adriana E. Lita, M. Stobinska, A. Buraczewski, M. Moore, W.R. Clements, J.J. Renema, W.S. Kolthammer, A. Eckstein, I.A. Walmsley
It is an open question how fast information processing can be performed and whether quantum effects can speed up the best existing solutions. Signal extraction, analysis, and compression in diagnostics, astronomy, chemistry, and broadcasting build on the

Sensing Fabrication Errors in Diffraction Gratings using High Dynamic Range Imaging

Sofia C. Corzo Garcia, Johannes A. Soons, Ulf Griesmann
We describe the design of a simple instrument for the identification and characterization of fabrication errors in diffraction gratings. The instrument uses an uncooled charge-coupled device (CCD) camera and a high dynamic range imaging process to detect

Integrating four-dimensional ontology and systems requirements modelling

July 18, 2019
Author(s)
Conrad E. Bock, Charles Galey
Ontology has many applications to engineering but is not easily taken up by engineers. For example, specifying products in space and time together (four dimensions) enables more reliable modelling and analysis, but this work is primarily ontological and

Practical Cryptanalysis of k-ary C*
