Author(s)
D M. Saylor, B S. El-Dasher, Y Pang, H M. Miller, P Wynblatt, Anthony D. Rollett, G S. Rohrer
Three-dimensional interfacial networks in polycrystalline solids are topologically and crystallographically complex. With a few notable exceptions, most of what we know about the distribution of three-dimensional grain shapes has been derived from foams or

STANDARDS SUPPORTING SIMULATIONS OF SMART MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS

The goal of the recently announced materials innovation initiatives such as the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI) and the Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) approach is to substantially reduce the time and cost of materials design and

NIST Weather Station for Photovoltaic and Building System Research

March 29, 2016
Author(s)
Matthew Boyd
A weather station has been constructed on the Gaithersburg, Maryland campus of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) as part of a research effort to assess performance of photovoltaic and building systems. This weather station includes

A strong loophole-free test of local realism

December 16, 2015
Author(s)
Lynden K. Shalm, Evan Meyer-Scott, B. G. Christensen, Peter L. Bierhorst, Michael A. Wayne, Deny Hamel, Martin J. Stevens, Thomas Gerrits, Scott C. Glancy, Michael S. Allman, Kevin J. Coakley, Shellee D. Dyer, Adriana E. Lita, Varun B. Verma, Joshua C. Bienfang, Alan L. Migdall, Yanbao Zhang, William Farr, Francesco Marsili, Matthew D. Shaw, Jeffrey Stern, Carlos Abellan, Waldimar Amaya, Valerio Pruneri, Thomas Jennewein, Morgan Mitchell, P. G. Kwiat, Richard P. Mirin, Emanuel H. Knill, Sae Woo Nam
We present a loophole-free violation of local realism using entangled photon pairs. We ensure that all relevant events in our Bell test are spacelike separated by placing the parties far enough apart and by using fast random number generators and high

Software-defined Radio Based Measurement Platform for Wireless Networks

October 15, 2015
Author(s)
I-Chun Chao, Kang B. Lee, Rick Candell, Frederick M. Proctor, Chien-Chung Shen
There has been a dramatic push to adopting wireless networking technologies and protocols (such as 802.11, ZigBee, WirelessHART, Bluetooth, ISA100.11a, etc.) into time-critical networks. End-to-end latency is critical to many distributed applications and

Understanding Small-Molecule Interactions in Metal-Organic Frameworks: Coupling Experiment with Theory

October 14, 2015
Author(s)
Jason S. Lee, Bess Vlaisavljevich, David K. Britt, Craig Brown, Maciej Haranczyk, Jeffrey B. Neaton, Berend Smit, Jeffrey R. Long, W. L. Queen
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) have gained much attention as next generation porous media for various applications, especially gas separations/storage and catalysis. New MOFs are regularly reported; however, to develop better materials in a timely manner

Universal scaling law for the flow of non-Newtonian colloidal suspension

October 1, 2014
Author(s)
Nicos Martys, William L. George, Maxime Liard, Pascal Hebraud, Didier Lootens
It has been observed that flow curves (viscosity vs shear-rate) of spherical non-colloidal particles suspended in a non-Newtonian fluid matrix can be rescaled so as to collapse onto the flow curve of the matrix fluid. This result is surprising given the

High-speed, high-purity separation of gold nanoparticle-DNA origami constructs using centrifugation

July 23, 2014
Author(s)
Seung H. Ko, Luis F. Vargas Lara, Paul Patrone, Samuel Stavis, Francis W. Starr, Jack F. Douglas, James Alexander Liddle
DNA origami is a powerful platform for assembling gold nanoparticle constructs, an important class of nanostructure with numerous applications. Such constructs are assembled by the association of complementary DNA oligomers. These association reactions

The Effect of Sampling Strategy on Inferred Measures

July 6, 2014
Author(s)
Ellen M. Voorhees
Using the inferred measures framework is a popular choice for constructing test collections when the target document set is too large for pooling to be a viable option. Within the framework, different amounts of assessing effort is placed on different

Quasiparticle scattering from topological crystalline insulator SnTe (001) surface states
