April 1, 2025
Author(s)
Jessica Reiner, Bruce Benner, Jennifer Lynch, Jacolin Murray, Alix Rodowa, Meredith Evans Seeley, Katherine Shaw, Benjamin Place
Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) are homogeneous, well-characterized materials that are used to validate measurements and improve the quality of analytical data. NIST, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, has a wide variety of SRMs useful

Laser Beam Metrology for AM-Bench 2022: Approaches, Results, and Lessons Learned

April 1, 2025
Author(s)
David Deisenroth, Jordan Weaver, Sergey Mekhontsev, Steven Grantham, Shawn P. Moylan
One of key parameters of additive manufacturing by laser powder bed fusion of metal parts (PBF-LB/M) is the power density distribution (PDD) of the process laser beam. This paper describes the methods used to measure the beam PDD, discussing well

MaRDA FAIR Materials Microscopy and LIMS Data Working Groups' Community Recommendations

April 1, 2025
Author(s)
Joshua Taillon, Edward Barnard, Laura Bartolo, Maria K. Y. Chan, Eric Stach, Mitra Taheri, Lynda Brinson, Peter Voorhees
The management, processing, and sharing of research data and experimental context produced on modern scientific instrumentation presents a myriad of challenges to nearly all within the materials research community. To help address these issues, MaRDA

Signal size and resolution of scanning thermal microscopy in air and vacuum

April 1, 2025
Author(s)
Jabez McClelland, Evgheni Strelcov, Ami Chand
We present measurements comparing scanning thermal microscopy in air and vacuum. Signal levels are compared and resolution is probed by scanning over the edge of a nanofabricated Ag square embedded in SiO2. Signals measured in air were seen to be 2.5 to 40

Impact-Ionization-Based High-Endurance One-Transistor Bulk CMOS Cryogenic Memory

March 31, 2025
Author(s)
Pragya Shrestha, Alexander Zaslavsky, Valery Ortiz Jimenez, Jason Campbell, Curt Richter
This paper presents a high-endurance capacitorless one-transistor (1T) cryogenic memory, fabricated in a 180 nm bulk CMOS technology, with a high memory window of (107 I1/I0 sense current ratio) and prolonged retention. The memory is enabled by the

Refrigerant Properties Development R&D: Final Report to U.S. Department of Energy on Interagency Agreements 892434-19-S-EE000031 and 892434-23-S-EE000120

Mark McLinden, Katrina Avery, Ala Bazyleva, Ian Bell, Tara Fortin, Marcia Huber, Andrei Kazakov, Eric Lemmon, Stephanie Outcalt, Richard Perkins, Elizabeth Rasmussen, Demian Riccardi, Aaron Rowane
The HVAC&R industry is facing the challenge of phasing down the use of the HFC (hydrofluoro-carbon) refrigerants. New energy-efficient refrigerants are required, and accurate property data for them are needed to design and operate new HVAC equipment using

The Character of Burning Residential and Office Items

March 31, 2025
Author(s)
Anthony Hamins, Giovanni Di Cristina Torres, Matthew Bundy, Anthony Chakalis, Marco Fernandez, Ickchan Kim, Selvarajah Ramesh, Mauro Zammarano
A series of experiments are reported on the burning behavior of single items and assemblies commonly found in offices and residences, including chairs, sofas, mattresses with pillows and bedclothes, and some miscellaneous items such as laptops, bookshelves

Thoughts on the Kibble-Robinson Theory

March 31, 2025
Author(s)
Lorenz Keck, Kumar Arumugam, Leon Chao, Zane Comden, Frank Seifert, David Newell, Darine El Haddad, Stephan Schlamminger
We revisit the Kibble-Robinson Theory (KRT), first proposed in 2014 by Kibble and Robinson, which significantly simplifies the construction and operation of Kibble balances. We conducted a theoretical investigation of the theory's assumptions, using a

Marine debris impacts on Hawaiian green sea turtles (Chelonia mydas): High prevalence of hook-and-line fishing gear in strandings

March 29, 2025
Author(s)
Marthe Hoiberg, Jan Borgelt, Philip Mostert, Shawn Murakawa, Summer Martin, Jon Gelman, Jennifer Lynch, Francesca Verones
Stranding data are critical for monitoring threats to sea turtles. By analyzing four decades of green turtle (Chelonia mydas) strandings from the Main Hawaiian Islands, we elucidate temporal and spatial trends. In Hawai'i, fibropapillomatosis (FP) has been
