Kelsey M. Morgan, Daniel T. Becker, Douglas A. Bennett, Johnathon D. Gard, Jozsef Imrek, John A. Mates, Christine G. Pappas, Carl D. Reintsema, Daniel R. Schmidt, Joel N. Ullom, Joel C. Weber, Abigail L. Wessels, Daniel S. Swetz
Microwave SQUID multiplexing has become a key technology for reading out large arrays of X-ray and gamma-ray microcalorimeters with mux factors of 100 or more. The desire for fast X-ray pulses that accommodate photon counting rates of hundreds or thousands

Prey-size plastics are invading larval fish nurseries

November 11, 2019
Author(s)
Jamison Gove, Jonathan Whitney, Margaret McManus, Joey Lecky, Felipe Carvalho, Jennifer Lynch, Jiwei Li, Philipp Neubauer, Jana Phipps, Donald Kobayashi, Karla Balagso, Emily Contreras, Mark Manuel, Mark Merrifield, Jeffrey Polovina, Gregory Asner, Jeffrey Maynard, Gareth Williams
Life for many of the world's marine fish begins at the ocean surface. Ocean conditions dictate food availability and govern survivorship, yet little is known about the habitat preferences of larval fish during this highly vulnerable life-history stage

Rethinking Authentication

November 11, 2019
Author(s)
Kim B. Schaffer
In today's environment, there is little doubt that companies, organizations, and governments must make significant investments in developing, implementing, and supporting authentication for their digital systems. Perhaps because of this, an organization's

Understanding the characteristics of sequence-based single-source DNA profiles

November 9, 2019
Author(s)
Sarah Riman, Hariharan K. Iyer, Lisa A. Borsuk, Peter M. Vallone
The sequencing of STR markers provides additional information present in the underlying sequence variation that is typically masked by traditional fragment-based genotyping. However, the interpretation of STR profiles generated by targeted sequencing

Correlating Decoherence in Transmon Qubits: Low Frequency Noise by Single Fluctuators

November 8, 2019
Author(s)
Steffen Schlor, Jurgen Lisenfeld, Clemens Muller, Alexander Bilmes, Andre Schneider, David P. Pappas, Alexey V. Ustinov, Martin Weides
We report on long-term measurements of a highly coherent, nontunable superconducting transmon qubit, revealing low-frequency burst noise in coherence times and qubit transition frequency. We achieve this through a simultaneous measurement of the qubit's

Harmonizing Across Environmental Nanomaterial Testing Media for Increased Comparability of Nanomaterial Datasets

November 8, 2019

Nicholas Geitner, Christine O. Hendren, Geert Cornelis, Ralf Kaegi, Jamie Lead, Gregory Lowry, Iseult Lynch, Bernd Nowack, Elijah Petersen, Emily Bernhardt, Scott Brown, Warren Chan, Camille de Garidel-Thoron, Jaydee Hanson, Stacey Harper, Kim Jones, Frank von der Kammer, Alan Kennedy, Justin Kidd, Cole Matson, Christopher Metcalf, Joel Pedersen, Willie Peijnenburg, Joris Quik, Sonia Rodriguez, Jerome Rose, Phil Sayre, Marie Simonin, Claus Svendsen, Robert Tanguay, Nathalie Tukenji, Tom van Teunenbroek, Gregory Thies, Yuan Tian, Jacelyn Rice, Jie Liu, Jason Unrine, Marina Vance, Jason White, Mark Wiesner
The chemical composition and properties of environmental media play defining roles in determining nanomaterial (NM) transport, fate, biouptake, and even organism response. To compare and interpret experimental data, it is essential that sufficient context

Optimal Series Resistors for On-Wafer Calibrations

November 8, 2019
Author(s)
Jasper A. Drisko, Richard A. Chamberlin, James C. Booth, Nathan D. Orloff, Christian J. Long
The series resistor is a common on-wafer device typically used in the series-resistor calibration and for estimating the capacitance per unit length of coplanar waveguide transmission lines. While much work has been done using series resistors, this paper

A SDN-based Network Layer for Edge Computing

November 7, 2019
Author(s)
An Wang, Zili Zha, Yang Guo, Songqing Chen
The advanced big data analytical technologies and ever-expanding Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices and applications drive the new computing paradigm, Edge Computing. It significantly improves network performance by collecting and processing data locally or

ENTHALPY OF FORMATION OF AQUEOUS HYDROFLUORIC ACID: REVISION NEEDED?

November 7, 2019
Author(s)
Yauheni Paulechka, Andrei F. Kazakov
Accurate enthalpies of formation of hydrofluoric acid in the gas and liquid states as well as in aqueous solutions are critical for reduction and interpretation of combustion calorimetry data for fluorinated compounds. Analysis of current recommendations

Metabolomics Test Materials for Quality Control: A Study of a Urine Materials Suite

Anomaly in the Virial Expansion of IAPWS-95 at Low Temperatures

November 6, 2019
Author(s)
Allan H. Harvey
In the standard reference equation of state for the thermodynamic properties of water, known as IAPWS-95, the fourth virial coefficient D(T) becomes abnormally large in magnitude at temperatures below approximately 300 K. At conditions where a virial
