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

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
