Assessment of the reason for the vitrification of a wall at a hillfort. The example of Broborg in Sweden

May 9, 2022
Author(s)
Rolf Sjoblom, Eva Hjarthner-Holdar, Carolyn Pearce, Jamie Weaver, Erik Ogenhall, John McCloy, Jose Marcial, Edward Vicenzi, Michael Schweiger, Albert Kruger
It was discovered around 250 years ago that some of the rock material in the walls of some hillforts had been subjected to such high temperature that it had vitrified. This prompted a debate as to the reason for it that is still going on today: did the

A self-validated detector for characterization of quantum network components

May 7, 2022
Author(s)
Anouar Rahmouni, Thomas Gerrits, Alan Migdall, Oliver T. Slattery, Ping-Shine Shaw, Joseph P. Rice
We are developing a nearly polarization-independent, low-cost optical trap detector between 1000 nm and 1550 nm for optical power measurements. A NIST-traceable optical power calibration of this trap detector showed a promising result.

Integrated High-throughput and Machine Learning Methods to Accelerate Discovery of Molten Salt Corrosion-resistant Alloys

May 7, 2022
Author(s)
Yafei Wang, Bonita Goh, Phalgun Nelaturu, Thien Duong, Najlaa Hassan, Raphaelle David, Michael Moorehead, Santanu Chaudhuri, Adam Abel Creuziger, Jason Hattrick-Simpers, Dan Thoma, Kumar Sridharan, Adrien Couet
Insufficient availability of molten salt corrosion-resistant alloys severely limits the fruition of a variety of promising molten salt technologies that could otherwise have significant societal impacts. To accelerate alloy development for molten salt

White Rabbit-assisted quantum network node synchronization with quantum channel coexistence

May 7, 2022
Author(s)
Thomas Gerrits, Ivan Burenkov, Ya-Shian Li-Baboud, Anouar Rahmouni, DJ Anand, FNU Hala, Oliver T. Slattery, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
We show that the Ethernet-based time transfer protocol 'White Rabbit' can synchronize two distant quantum-networked nodes to within 4 ps, enabling HOM interference at >90 % visibility using 17.6 ps FWHM single-photons coexisting with White Rabbit.

New Reference Equation of State for Carbon Dioxide

May 6, 2022
Author(s)
Allan Harvey, Eric Lemmon
For carbon dioxide, the current reference for thermodynamic properties is the equation of state (EOS) of Span and Wagner published in 1996. While the Span-Wagner EOS provides accurate properties at most conditions of industrial interest, some deficiencies

Overview of TREC 2021

May 6, 2022
Author(s)
Ian Soboroff
TREC 2021 is the thirtieth edition of the Text REtrieval Conference (TREC). The main goal of TREC is to create the evaluation infrastructure required for large-scale testing of retrieval technology. This includes research on best methods for evaluation as

Interlaboratory Studies using the NISTmAb to Advance Biopharmaceutical Structural Analytics

May 5, 2022
Author(s)
Katharina Yandrofski, Trina Mouchahoir, M. Lorna De Leoz, David L. Duewer, Jeffrey W. Hudgens, Kyle Anderson, Luke Arbogast, Frank Delaglio, Robert Brinson, John Marino, Karen W. Phinney, Michael J. Tarlov, John E. Schiel
Biopharmaceuticals such as monoclonal antibodies are required to be rigorously characterized using a wide range of analytical methods. Various material properties must be characterized and well controlled to assure that clinically relevant features and

Measurements of Absolute, SI-traceable Lunar Irradiance with the Airborne LUnar Spectral Irradiance (air-LUSI) Instrument

May 5, 2022
Author(s)
John T. Woodward IV, Kevin Turpie, Thomas Stone, S. Andrew Gadsden, Andrew Newton, Stephen Maxwell, Steven Grantham, Thomas Larason, Steven W. Brown
The Airborne LUnar Spectral Irradiance (Air-LUSI) instrument is designed to make low uncertainty, hyperspectral measurements of the lunar spectral irradiance from an ER-2 aircraft from altitudes above 95 % to 99 % of the atmosphere. Measurements cover the

Advancing Autonomous Robot Development and Adoption Through Standards

May 4, 2022
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff
Autonomy is the ability to perform tasks without help. In the case of autonomous robots, obstacles may arise internally like an electrical short or a broken part or externally such as encountering debris. These instances can cause mission interruption or
