Toward an International Standardisation Roadmap for Nanomedicine

June 12, 2024
Author(s)
Bryant C. Nelson, Gerrit Borchard, Luigi Calzolai, Fanny Caputo, Georges Favres, Fisicaro Fisicaro, Emeric Frejafon, Nazende Gunday-Tureli, Denis Koltsov, Caterina Minelli, Francois-Xavier Ouf, Jeremie Parot, Adriele Prina Mello, Shan Zou
The French National Measurement Institute (LNE) has initiated a series of events to identify priorities for test methods and their harmonisation that directly address regulatory needs in Nanomedicine. The workshop entitled "The International

Three-dimensional characterization of particle size, shape, and internal porosity for Apollo 11 and Apollo 14 lunar regolith and JSC-1A lunar regolith soil simulant

June 8, 2024
Author(s)
Jay Goguen, Andrew Sharits, Ann Chiaramonti Debay, Thomas V. Lafarge, Edward Garboczi
Samples of soils collected by the Apollo 11 mission (10084) and the Apollo 14 mission (14163) were obtained from the NASA CAPTEM program. The particle size, shape, and internal porosity were characterized in three dimensions (3D) using a combination of X

Laser Offset Stabilization with Chip-Scale Atomic Diffractive Elements

June 7, 2024
Author(s)
Heleni Krelman, Ori Nefesh, Kfir Levi, Douglas Bopp, Songbai Kang, Liron Stern, John Kitching
Achieving precise and adjustable control over laser frequency is an essential requirement in numerous applications such as precision spectroscopy, quantum control, and sensing. In many of such applications it is desired to stabilize a laser with a variable

Quantifying Mechanical Abrasion of AgNP Nanocomposites used in 3D Printing: Influence of AgNP content on abrasion products and rate of microplastic production

June 7, 2024
Author(s)
Joana Sipe, William Berger, Nathan Bossa, Melissa Chernick, Keana C. K. Scott, Alan Kennedy, Treye Thomas, Christine Ogilvie, Mark Wiesner
Nanomaterials are used in polymer composites to enhance plastic products' properties. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are added to composites for their antimicrobial and fungicidal properties. Polyethylene terephthalate glycol polymer (PETG) AgNP composite

Quantum metrology algorithms for dark matter searches with clocks

June 7, 2024
Author(s)
Muhammad Zaheer, Naleli Matjelo, David Hume, Marianna Safronova, David Leibrandt
Quantum metrology involves improving the sensitivity of a quantum sensor to a signal while circumventing sensitivity to noise using algorithms from quantum information science. Atomic clocks are among the most sensitive quantum sensors, with recent

Exploring Nonlinear Flame Speed Inhibition Effects in Mixtures of R1234yf and R32

June 6, 2024
Author(s)
Raik Hesse, Roman Glaznev, Raymond Langer, Christian Felix Schwenzer, Valeri Babushok, Gregory Linteris, Heinz Pitsch, Joachim Beeckmann
This study investigates the flame speed inhibition effects in R1234yf and R32 mixtures, two hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants with low global warming potential but mild flammability. The laminar flame speed (S0L,u) is a crucial parameter for assessing

On the Semidirect Discrete Logarithm Problem in Finite Groups

June 6, 2024
Author(s)
Christopher Battarbee, Giacomo Borin, Julian Brough, Ryann Cartor, Tobias Hemmert, Nadia Heninger, David Jao, Delaram Kahrobaei, Laura Maddison, Edoardo Persichetti, Angela Robinson, Daniel Smith-Tone, Rainer Steinwandt
We present an efficient quantum algorithm for solving the semidirect discrete logarithm problem (SDLP) in any finite group. The believed hardness of the semidirect discrete logarithm problem underlies more than a decade of works constructing candidate post

Measuring the Influence of CO2 and Water Vapor on the Dynamics in Polyethylenimine To Understand the Direct Air Capture of CO2 from the Environment

June 5, 2024
Author(s)
Avery Baumann, Takeshi Yamada, Kanae Ito, Chad R. Snyder, John Hoffman, Craig Brown, Christopher Stafford, Christopher Soles
Aminopolymer sorbents are leading candidates for extracting CO2 directly from the atmosphere under ambient conditions. For effective carbon capture, this requires not only that the CO2 actively binds with amine groups of the polymer under low gas

NIST Greenhouse Gas Measurements Program: A Decade of Critical Accomplishments

June 5, 2024
Author(s)
James Whetstone, Tamae Wong, Hratch Semerjian
At COP 21 (Paris), there was general agreement that programs to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate atmospheric warming will require an understanding of existing emissions as well as programs to monitor, report, and verify emissions from a broad

Research on Fixture-Level Peak Probability of Water Use in Commercial Buildings

June 5, 2024
Author(s)
Tao Li, Steven Buchberger, Toritseju Omaghomi, Gary Klein, William M. Healy
novel wireless sensor network is developed and demonstrated for monitoring indoor fixture level water use in buildings. The new technology consists of a low-cost, battery-powered, miniature wireless sensor module for non-invasive detection of flow through

Comprehensive Overview of Bottom-Up Proteomics using Mass Spectrometry

June 4, 2024
Author(s)
Yuming Jiang, Devasahayam Rex, Dina Schuster, Ben Neely, German Rosano, Norbert Volkmar, Amanda Momenzadeh, Trenton Peters-Clarke, Susan Egbert, Simion Kreimer, Emma Doud, Oliver Cook, Amit Yadav, Muralidharan Vanuopadath, Martin Mayta, Anna Duboff, Nicholas Riley, Robert Moritz, Jesse Meyer
Proteomics is the large scale study of protein structure and function from biological systems through protein identification and quantification. "Shotgun proteomics" or "bottom-up proteomics" is the prevailing strategy, in which proteins are hydrolyzed

Standards and Performance Metrics for On-Road Automated Vehicles

June 4, 2024
Author(s)
Craig I. Schlenoff, Zeid Kootbally, Prem Rachakonda, Suzanne Lightman, Apostol Vassilev, David A. Wollman, Edward Griffor
On September 5–8, 2023, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) held the second Standards and Performance Metrics for On‐Road Automated Vehicles Workshop. This four‐day virtual event provided updates on NIST's recent work in automated

A proposal to change the leap-second adjustments to UTC

June 3, 2024
Author(s)
Judah Levine, Patrizia TAVELLA
The definition of UTC in 1972 balanced the needs of the time and frequency community for a universal time scale that was traceable to the definition of frequency in the SI system of units with the needs of the astronomical community for a time scale that

Dynamical Formation of Prethermal BEC in Floquet Engineered Lattice

June 3, 2024
Author(s)
James Maslek, Carlos Alberto Bracamontes Palma, James Porto
We experimentally realise an effective Hamiltonian with a continuously adjustable staggered gauge field for weakly interacting bosons in an optical lattice. Periodic driving realises a staggered $\Phi$-flux model, where $\Phi$ can be continuously tuned
