Mobile sensor networks (MSN) are an excellent example of Cyber-Physical Systems where motion capability of the network nodes offers an opportunity to co-design the physical and cyber components of the system. As sensor nodes have limited energy resources

We report a strategy for realizing tunable electrical conductivity in MOFs in which the nanopores are infiltrated with redox-active, conjugated guest molecules. This approach is demonstrated using thin-film devices of the MOF Cu3(BTC)2 (also known as HKUST
A new data analysis procedure is presented for the evaluation of comparisons of reference materials individually prepared and value-assigned by different organizations to measurements made in a single laboratory under repeatability measurements. The

The effect of current density and Sn methane sulfonate concentration on hillock density, columnar grain size, crystallographic texture, and residual stress of bright Sn electrodeposits is measured. Correlation was found between hillock density and the

At NIST we are engaged in an experiment whose goal is to create superpositions of optical coherent states (such superpositions are sometimes called "Schroedinger cat" states). We use homodyne detection to measure the light, and we apply maximum likelihood

Carbon dioxide (CO2) based demand controlled ventilation (DCV) has been proposed and implemented for many years as a strategy for increasing energy efficiency by providing outdoor air ventilation rates based on actual occupancy rather than design occupancy

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Communications Technology Laboratory (CTL) developed the 6G Communications Roadmap (the roadmap) to prioritize future NIST investments in 6G Communications research that aligns with high-priority
Enterprise patch management is the process of identifying, prioritizing, acquiring, installing, and verifying the installation of patches, updates, and upgrades throughout an organization. Patching is more important than ever because of the increasing

A synthetic strategy yielded polyelectrolytes and polyampholytes with tunable net charge for complexation and protein binding. Organocatalytic ring-opening polymerizations yielded aliphatic polycarbonates that were functionalized with both carboxylate and
Transport coefficients, such as viscosity or diffusion coefficient, show significant dependence on density or temperature near the glass transition. Although several theories have been proposed for explaining this dynamical slowdown, the origin remains to

Engineering two-/three-dimensional (2D/3D) perovskite solar cells is nowadays a popular strategy for efficient and stable devices. However, the exact function of the 2D/3D interface in controlling the long-term device behavior is still obscure. Here, we
