Bridging classical and quantum mechanics

September 28, 2016
Author(s)
Darine El Haddad, Frank C. Seifert, Leon S. Chao, Shisong Lee, David B. Newell, Jon R. Pratt, Carl J. Williams, Stephan Schlamminger
Using a watt balance and a frequency comb, a mass-energy equivalence is derived. The watt balance compares mechanical power measured in terms of the meter, the second, and the kilogram to electrical power measured in terms of the volt and the ohm. A direct

Evaluation of chemical purity using quantitative 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance

September 28, 2016
Author(s)
Blaza Toman, Michael A. Nelson, Katrice A. Lippa
Chemical purity assessment using quantitative 1H-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is a method based on ratio references of mass and signal intensity of the analyte species to that of chemical standards of known purity. As such, it is an example of a

Milligram mass metrology using an electrostatic force balance

September 28, 2016
Author(s)
Gordon A. Shaw, Julian Stirling, John A. Kramar, Alexander D. Moses, Patrick J. Abbott, Richard L. Steiner, Andrew D. Koffman, Jon R. Pratt, Zeina J. Kubarych
Although mass is typically defined within the International System of Units (SI) at the Kilogram level, the pending redefinition of the SI provides an opportunity to realize mass at any scale using electrical metrology. We propose the use of an

Preparation of entangled states through Hilbert space engineering

September 28, 2016
Author(s)
Yiheng Lin, John P. Gaebler, Florentin Reiter, Ting R. Tan, Ryan S. Bowler, Yong Wan, Adam C. Keith, Emanuel Knill, Kevin Coakley, Dietrich Leibfried, David J. Wineland, Scott Glancy
Entangled states are a crucial resource for quantum-based technologies such as quantum computers and quantum communication systems. Exploring new methods for entanglement generation is important for diversifying and eventually improving current approaches

Robust Upward Dispersion of the Neutron Spin Resonance in the Heavy Fermion Superconductor Ce 1-x Yb x CoIn 5

September 28, 2016
Author(s)
Yu Song, John Van Dyke, I. K. Lum, B. D. White, L. Shu, A. Schneidewind, Petr Cermak, Yiming Qiu, M. B. Maple, Dirk K. Morr, Pengcheng Dai
Understanding the origin of unconventional superconductivity in strongly correlated electron materials continues to be at the forefront of modern condensed matter physics [1-5]. In copper oxides [6-8], iron pnictides [9, 10], and heavy fermion [11, 12]

Ullmann-like reactions for the synthesis of complex two-dimensional materials

September 28, 2016
Author(s)
Rebecca C. Quardokus, Vinod K. Tewary, Frank W. DelRio
Engineering two-dimensional materials through surface-confined synthetic techniques is a promising avenue for designing new materials with tailored properties. Developing and understanding methods for surface-confined synthesis of two-dimensional materials

Monte Carlo Simulation Algorithm for B-DNA

September 27, 2016
Author(s)
Steven C Howell, Xiangyun Qiu, Joseph E. Curtis
The growing interest in determining structures of macromolecules containing deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) in solution and their structure-function relationship has encouraged experiments using methods such as solution small angle X-ray and neutron scattering

Theory and Experiment of Binary Diffusion Coefficient of n-Alkanes in Dilute Gases

September 27, 2016
Author(s)
Changran Liu, William S. McGivern, Jeffrey A. Manion, Hai Wang
Binary diffusion coefficients were measured for n-pentane, n-hexane and n-octane in helium and of n-pentane in nitrogen over the temperature range of (300 - 600) K, using reversed-flow gas chromatography. A generalized, analytical theory was proposed for

Ultrafast time-resolved hard x-ray emission spectroscopy on a table top

September 27, 2016
Author(s)
Luis Miaja Avila, Galen C. O'Neil, Young Il Joe, Bradley K. Alpert, Niels Damrauer, William B. Doriese, Steven Fatur, Joseph W. Fowler, Gene C. Hilton, Ralph Jimenez, Carl D. Reintsema, Daniel R. Schmidt, Kevin L. Silverman, Daniel S. Swetz, Hideyuki Tatsuno, Joel N. Ullom
Chemical reactions driven by light are fundamental to biology and a source of inspiration for engineering materials to perform tasks such as solar energy harvesting and data storage. Observing and understanding photodynamics requires experimental tools

CODATA Recommended Values of the Fundamental Physical Constants: 2014

September 26, 2016
Author(s)
Peter J. Mohr, David B. Newell, Barry N. Taylor
This paper gives the 2014 self-consistent set of values of the constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry recommended by the Committee on Data for Science and Technology (CODATA). These values are based on a least-squares adjustment that

Demystifying the Internet of Things

September 26, 2016
Author(s)
Jeffrey M. Voas, Larry Feldman, Gregory A. Witte
This bulletin summarizes the information presented in NIST SP 800-183, Networks of 'Things'. This publication offers an underlying and foundational science to IoT based on the realization that IoT involves sensing, computing, communication, and actuation.

Elevated urinary levels of 8-hydroxy-2-deoxyguanosine, (5R)- and (5S)-8,5-cyclo-2- deoxyadenosines, and 8-iso-prostaglandin F2? as potential biomarkers of oxidative stress in patients with prediabetes

September 26, 2016
Author(s)
M Miral Dizdar, Melis Kant, Merve Akis, Mehmet Calan, Tugba Arkan, Firat Bayraktar, Huray Islekel
Prediabetes is the preclinical stage of type 2 diabetes mellitus with intermediate state of hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia results in a state of oxidative stress and that reactive oxygen species contribute to the production of insulin resistance, β-cell
