Miroslav Barabash, William Gibby, Dmitry Luchinsky, Binquan Luan, Alexander Smolyanitsky, Peter McClintock
Most analytic theories describing electrostatically driven ion transport through water-filled nanopores assume that the corresponding permeation barriers are bias-independent. While this assumption may hold for sufficiently wide pores under infinitely

June 11, 2021
Author(s)
Debra Audus, Samim Ali, Artem Rumyantsev, Yuanchi Ma, Juan J. de Pablo, Vivek Prabhu
The interfacial tension of coacervates, the liquidlike phase composed of oppositely charged polymers that coexists at equilibrium with a supernatant, forms the basis for multiple technologies. Here we present a comprehensive set of experiments and

Amanda Bayless, Steven Christopher, Jennifer Ness, Charles Barber, Russell D. Day, Cheryl M. Woodley, C. Anna Toline
Chronic biological impairments of reef organisms have been documented at two national parks in St. Croix, USVI. Although several water quality parameters have been out of compliance with USVI water quality criteria, whether these parameters or other

Entanglement Blocking in DLCZ-based Networks

Chin-Sheng Pang, Ruiping Zhou, Xiangkai Liu, Peng Wu, Terry Y. Hung, Shiqi Guo, Mona E. Zaghloul, Sergiy Krylyuk, Albert Davydov, Joerg Appenzeller, Zhihong Chen
Schottky barrier (SB) transistors operate distinctly different from conventional metal-oxide semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs), in a unique way that the gate impacts the carrier injection from the metal source/drain contacts into the channel

An Open Combinatorial Diffraction Dataset Including Consensus Human and Machine Learning Labels with Quantified Uncertainty for Training New Machine Learning Models

Jason Hattrick-Simpers, Brian DeCost, Aaron Gilad Kusne, Howard Joress, Winnie Wong-Ng, Debra Kaiser, Andriy Zakutayev, Caleb Phillips, Tonio Buonassisi, Shijing Sun, Janak Thapa
Modern machine learning and autonomous experimentation schemes in materials science rely on accurate analysis of the data ingested by these models. Unfortunately, accurate analysis of the underlying data can be difficult, even for domain experts

Speed-of-Sound Measurements and a Fundamental Equation of State for Propylene Glycol

June 9, 2021
Author(s)
Eisenbach Tim, Christian Scholz, Roland Span, Diego Cristancho, Monika Thol, Eric W. Lemmon
A fundamental equation of state was developed for propylene glycol. It is written in terms of the Helmholtz energy with the independent variables temperature and density. Due to its fundamental nature, it can be used to calculate all thermodynamic state
