When your winter jacket slows heat escaping your body or the cardboard sleeve on your coffee keeps heat from reaching your ...

A new study investigated the source of a leak in a ‘miracle measurement’ from 2010 – and engineers found a potential solution ...

Delivering a lecture in 1959, theoretical physicist, Richard Feynman, wondered out loud: “What would the properties of materials be if we could really arrange the atoms the way we want them?” The ...

Abstract: We propose a coupling structure that combines both grating couplers and spot-size converters for characterization of silicon photonic integrated circuits. The structure is expected to reduce ...

Article Views are the COUNTER-compliant sum of full text article downloads since November 2008 (both PDF and HTML) across all institutions and individuals. These metrics are regularly updated to ...

Introduction: Silicon nanoparticles (SiNPs) effectively mitigate drought stress in crops, yet their physiological mechanisms in maize remain unclear. Methods: This study conducted field experiments in ...

Abstract: Conduction Atomic Force Microscopy (CAFM) is used to locally stress a 3.5 nm thick SiO2 film to induce soft dielectric breakdown (SBD). The tip-to-surface adhesion and current-voltage (I-V) ...
