Diffusion-limited reactions in nanoscale electronics

September 22, 2020
Author(s)
Ryan Evans, Arvind Balijepalli, Anthony J. Kearsley
To quantify interactions between drug molecules and target receptors, a novel nanoscale electronics instrument is under development. The instrument consists of two regions: a biological region, and an electronics region. The biological region consists of a

Elucidating the Structure of the Metal-Organic Framework Ru-HKUST-1

September 22, 2020
Author(s)
Gregory R. Lorzing, Krista P. Balto, Alexandra M. Antonio, Benjamin Trump, Craig Brown, Eric D. Bloch
Ru-HKUST-1 (Ru 3(btc) 2X 1.5; btc 3– = 1,3,5-benzentricarboxylate; X –^ = chloride, acetate, trimesate) has received considerable attention as a result of its structure type, tunability, and the redox-active nature of its constituent metal paddlewheel

Quantum Randomness from Probability Estimation with Classical Side Information

September 22, 2020
Author(s)
Emanuel Knill, Yanbao Zhang, Peter L. Bierhorst
We develop a framework for certifying randomness from Bell-test trials based on directly estimating the probability of the measurement outcomes with adaptive test supermartingales. The number of trials need not be predetermined, and one can stop performing

Development of a transition-edge sensor bilayer process providing new modalities for critical temperature control

September 21, 2020
Author(s)
Joel Weber, Kelsey Morgan, Daikang Yan, Christine Pappas, Abigail Wessels, Galen O'Neil, Douglas Bennett, Gene C. Hilton, Daniel Swetz, Joel Ullom, Dan Schmidt
Transition-edge sensors (TESs) are thermal detectors in which a superconducting film that is electrically biased in the superconducting-to-normal transition is used as a thermometer. In most TESs, the film is a superconductor-normal metal bilayer where the

Scaling Relationships for the Elastic Moduli and Viscosity of Mixed Lipid Membranes

September 21, 2020
Author(s)
Elizabeth Kelley, Paul Butler, Rana Ashkar, Robert Bradbury, Michihiro Nagao
The elastic and viscous properties of biological membranes play a vital role in controlling cell functions that require local reorganization of the membrane components as well as dramatic shape changes such as endocytosis, vesicular trafficking, and cell

Time-Resolving Quantum Measurement Enables Energy-Efficient, Large-Alphabet Communication

September 21, 2020
Author(s)
Ivan Burenkov, Jabir Marakkarakath Vadakkepurayil, Abdella Battou, Sergey Polyakov
Information exchange requires a measurement of physical states. Because quantum measurements enable accuracy beyond the classical shot-noise limit, they are successfully used to develop measurement tools and applications. In particular, quantum-measurement

Vulnerability trends in web servers and browsers

September 21, 2020
Author(s)
M S Raunak, D. Richard Kuhn, Richard Kogut, Raghu N. Kacker
In previous work we have looked at trends in vulnerabilities due to ordinary programming errors [2, 3]. This analysis focuses on two of the most widely used types of software in today's internet, web browsers and web servers. In addition to reports of

Probing Pluripotency Gene Regulatory Networks with Live Cell Imaging

September 20, 2020
Author(s)
Anne Plant, Michael Halter, Jeffrey R. Stinson
Live cell imaging uniquely enables the measurement of dynamic events in single cells, but it has not been used often in the study of gene regulatory networks. Network components can be examined in relation to one another by quantitative live cell imaging

Reliable, High-Performance Wireless Systems for Factory Automation

September 17, 2020
Author(s)
Kang B. Lee, Rick Candell, Hans-Peter Bernhard, Dave Cavalcanti, Zhibo Pang, Inaki Val
Wireless has emerged as an enabling technology to improve operational flexibility and efficiency for factory automation. The latest wireless technology, standardization activities, and research issues were explored and discussed through the examination of

Broadband Microwave Signal Dissipation in Nanostructured Copper Oxide at Air/Film Interface

September 17, 2020
Author(s)
Yaw S. Obeng, Papa K. Amoah, Christopher E. Sunday, Jesus Perez, Uros Cvelbar, Martin Kosicek
Contactless broadband microwave spectroscopic technique (a.k.a., broadband dielectric spectroscopy (BDS)) enables the accurate operando analysis of the electrical and magnetic properties applying without compromising the kinetic conditions of the

Enhanced transport of spin-orbit coupled Bose gases in disordered potentials

September 17, 2020
Author(s)
Yuchen Yue, Ian Spielman, Carlos S? de Melo
Anderson localization is single particle localization phenomena in disordered media that is accompanied by an absence of diffusion. Spin-orbit coupling (SOC) describes an interaction between a particle's spin and its momentum that directly affects its

Internet of Things (IoT) Component Capability Model for Research Testbed

September 17, 2020
Author(s)
Eric D. Simmon
Internet of Things (IoT) is the product of the worlds of information technology (IT) and operational technology (OT)converging. IoT combines the ability to observe the physical world with distributed computing systems that can combine and analyze the

Towards Usable Updates for Smart Home Devices

September 17, 2020
Author(s)
Julie M. Haney, Susanne M. Furman
Smart home device updates are important tools for users to remediate security vulnerabilities and protect devices from future attacks. However, no prior research has been conducted to understand smart home users' perceptions of and experiences with updates

Cryptanalysis of LEDAcrypt

September 16, 2020
Author(s)
Daniel C. Apon, Ray A. Perlner, Angela Y. Robinson, Paulo Santini
We report on the concrete cryptanalysis of LEDAcrypt, a 2nd Round candidate in NIST's Post- Quantum Cryptography standardization process and one of 17 encryption schemes that remain as candidates for near-term standardization. LEDAcrypt consists of a

Expanding NIST’s Calibration of Fluorescent Microspheres for Flow Cytometry to More Fluorescence Channels and Smaller Particles

Paul C. DeRose, Linhua Tian, Elzafir B. Elsheikh, Aaron A. Urbas, Yu-Zhong Zhang, Lili Wang
NIST, NIH and other industry stakeholders have been working together to enable fluorescence intensities of flow cytometer calibration beads to be assigned quantitative “ERF” values with high accuracy and precision. The ultimate goal of this effort is to

Microwaves and Microscopy (Guest Editorial)

September 16, 2020
