Optical Scanner for Immunoassays with Up-Converting Phosphorescent Labels
Our results suggest that a simple 2-D imaging system can speed assay development, reduce errors, and improve accuracy by characterizing the spatial distribution and uniformity of surface-captured optical labels as…

Field Desorption Ion Source Development for Neutron Generators
A new approach to deuterium ion sources for deuterium-tritium neutron generators is being developed. The source is based upon the field desorption of deuterium from the surfaces of metal tips.

High Electromechanical Performance of Electroelastomers Based on Interpenetrating Polymer Networks
The electromechanical performance of interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) in which one elastomer network is under high tension balanced by compression of the second network, were investigated.

Orthogonal Gas Sensor Arrays with Intelligent Algorithms for Early Warning of Electrical Fires
The feasibility of utilizing chemical sensor arrays and multivariable analyses as the basis for an early-warning combustion alarm for electrical fires was evaluated.

Role of Nucleation on the Growth of Nanocrystalline Diamond (NCD) Films: a Particular Study in the Fabrication of Micro-Cantilevers
It was observed that the films grown after pre-treating the substrates in pure nanodiamond slurry have not provided a complete coverage at the anchor regions of the cantilevers due to…

Moisture Induced Electron Traps and Hysteresis in Pentacene-Based Organic Thin-Film Transistors
Previous work revealed that electron traps in pentacene formed in air cause hysteresis in thin-film transistor characteristics. Here, we experimentally showed that water vapor, rather than oxygen, is responsible for these hysteresis-causing trap states.

Threshold Collision-Induced Dissociation of Hydrogen-Bonded Dimers of Carboxylic Acids
Energy-resolved competitive collision-induced dissociation is used to investigate the proton-bound heterodimer anions of a series of carboxylic acids (formic, acetic, and benzoic acid) and nitrous acid with their conjugate bases.
