The space sector is transitioning towards Hybrid Satellite Networks (HSN), an aggregation of independently owned and operated terminals, antennas, satellites, payloads, or other components that comprise a satellite system. The elements of an HSN may have

Raman Spectroscopy of Phonon States in NbTe4 and TaTe4 Quasi-1D van der Waals Crystals

February 23, 2024
Author(s)
Zahra Ebrahim Nataj, Fariborz Kargar, Sergiy Krylyuk, Topojit Debnath, Maedeh Taheri, Subhajit Ghosh, Huairuo Zhang, Albert Davydov, Roger Lake, Alexander Balandin
We report the results of polarization-dependent Raman spectroscopy of phonon states in single-crystalline quasi-one-dimensional NbTe4 and TaTe4 van der Waals materials. The measurements were conducted in the wide temperature range from 80 K to 560 K. Our

Ligify: Automated genome mining for ligand-inducible transcription factors

February 21, 2024
Author(s)
Simon d'Oelsnitz, Andrew Ellington, David J. Ross
Prokaryotic transcription factors can be repurposed into biosensors for the ligand-inducible control of gene expression, but the landscape of chemical ligands for which biosensors exist is extremely limited. To expand this landscape, we developed Ligify, a

Zeeman-resolved Autler-Townes splitting in Rydberg atoms with a tunable RF resonance and a single transition dipole moment

February 21, 2024
Author(s)
Noah Schlossberger, Drew Rotunno, Aly Artusio-Glimpse, Nik Prajapati, Samuel Berweger, Dangka Shylla, Matt Simons, Christopher L. Holloway
Applying a magnetic field as a method for tuning the frequency of Autler-Townes splitting for Rydberg electrometry has recently been demonstrated. In this Letter, we provide a theoretical understanding of Rydberg electromechanically-induced-transparency

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC): An important tool for polymer identification and characterization of plastic marine debris

February 19, 2024
Author(s)
Jennifer Lynch, Raquel Corniuk, Kayla C. Brignac, Melissa Jung, Joelle Marchiani, Wanda Weatherford
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), a routine thermoanalytical method in material science, is gaining utility in plastic pollution research to improve polymer identification. We optimized a DSC method, experimentally testing pan types, temperature

Entropy Driven Incommensurate Structures in the Frustrated Kagome Staircase Co3V2O8

February 18, 2024
Author(s)
Joel Helton, Nyrissa Rogado, Robert Cava, Jeffrey Lynn
Co3V2O8 features spin-3/2 moments arrayed on a kagome staircase lattice. A spin density wave with a continuously evolving propagation vector of ⃗k = (0, δ, 0), showing both incommensurate states and multiple commensurate lock-ins, is observed at

A Common Data Dictionary and Common Data Model for Additive Manufacturing

February 16, 2024
Author(s)
Alexander Kuan, Kareem Aggour, Shengyen Li, Yan Lu, Luke Mohr, Alex Kitt, Hunter Macdonald
Additive manufacturing (AM) leverages emerging technologies and well-adopted processes to produce near-net-shape products. The advancement of AM technology requires data management tools to collect, store and share information through the product

Evaluating Common-View Time Transfer Using a Low-Cost Dual-Frequency GNSS Receiver

February 15, 2024
Author(s)
Aidan Montare, Andrew Novick, Jeffrey Sherman
Common-view time transfer can be performed using either single (L1) or dual (L1/L2) frequency global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signals. Using dual-frequency receivers for common-view has advantages but has historically been of significantly higher

Optical frequency division & pulse synchronization using a photonic-crystal microcomb injected chip-scale mode-locked laser
