We have discovered a droplet-string transition in concentrated polymer blends which occurs when the size of a dispersed droplet becomes comparable to the gap width between the shearing disks. The transition occurs over a shear rate interval of ~2% and
In the manufacturing domain, few new distributed systems are built ground-up; most contain wrapped legacy components. While the legacy components themselves are already well-tested, imperfect integration can introduce subtle faults that are outside the
Many problems entail the analysis of data that are independent and identically distributed random graphs. Useful inference requires flexible probability models for such random graphs; these models should have interpretable location and scale parameters
In quantum position verification, a prover certifies her location by performing a quantum computation and returning the results (at the speed of light) to a set of trusted verifiers. One of the very first protocols for quantum position verification was
Space operations are increasingly important to the national and economic security of the United States. Commercial space's contribution to the critical infrastructure is growing in both volume and diversity of services as illustrated by the increased use

In today's cloud data centers and edge computing, attack surfaces have shifted and, in some cases, significantly increased. At the same time, hacking has become industrialized, and most security control implementations are not coherent or consistent. The
In today's cloud data centers and edge computing, attack surfaces have significantly increased, cyber attacks are industrialized, and most security control implementations are not coherent or consistent. The foundation of any data center or edge computing

New linkages for covalent organic frameworks (COFs) have been continuously pursued by chemists as it serves as the structure and property foundation for the materials. Developing new reaction types or modifying known linkages have been the only two methods

Electrolysis offers an attractive route to upgrade greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) to valuable fuels and feedstocks; however, productivity is often limited by gas diffusion through a liquid electrolyte to the surface of the catalyst. Here, we

The synthesis and characterization of six novel pillared metal-organic polyhedra is reported. By utilizing dabco (1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2.]octane), a pillar with increased basicity as compared to typical pillars such as pyrazine, three new stable copper
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a photonic routing architecture that can efficiently utilize the space of multi-plane (3D) photonic integration. A wafer with three planes of amorphous silicon waveguides was fabricated and characterized

Introduction: In aerobic organisms, intracellular metabolism and exogenous sources such as ionizing radiation and carcinogenic compounds generate reactive species including free radicals derived from either oxygen or nitrogen. Oxidative stress thereby

We report on a technique to improve the continuous loading of atomic strontium into a magnetic trap from a Magneto-Optical Trap (MOT). This is achieved by adding a depumping laser tuned to the 3 P1 → 3 S 1 (688-nm) transition. The depumping laser increases
Sustainable manufacturing could be further be promoted by the effective use of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) applications. These applications can evaluate manufacturing operations in light of increasing legislation and awareness for environmental
