We explored direct synthesis of carbon-rich hafnia, which is known to form as a compact interlayer in the oxide scales of oxidized hafnium  carbide.

We explain the nature of the analyses, highlight the essential material properties that are required and why they are important, and describe the impact of property accuracy and uncertainty on…

We describe the test environments generated by two types of these ground test facilities – subsonic inductively coupled plasma tunnels and supersonic arc-jet tunnels – and discuss the important roles…

We are facilitating the deployment of portable active neutron interrogation systems for field detection applications by developing a new atomic deuterium ion source for compact, accelerator-driven neutron generators.

The surface-catalytic recombination of oxygen and nitrogen atoms to form nitric oxide was confirmed by the direct detection of product NO molecules, using single-photon laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy.

A near-ultraviolet (NUV) spectrograph (320–460 nm) was flown on the EXL98 aircraft sprite observation campaign during July 1998.

Here we use the Keldysh non-equilibrium Green’s function and establish a microscopic description of how spin dynamics, including resonance and relaxation, can manifest itself in the device conductance.

In the work reported here, testing devices were designed and constructed to measure loads in stents undergoing tensile, bending, and torsional deformations.

Technologies that have been developed for microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) have been applied to the fabrication of field desorption arrays.

A new SRI International deposition technology based on fluidized bed reactor-chemical vapor deposition takes advantage of the high heat and mass transfer in a FBR, and combines it with subhalide…

Here, a practical desorption process for supported amine adsorbents, steam-stripping, is demonstrated for the first time.

These issues are addressed by the researchers who conducted the original work discussed in the Krivit and Marwan (K&M) review paper.
