MESSENGER Investigations of the Plasma Environment at Mercury.
(2013)
We report on the first observations of plasma ions at Mercury, from the Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS). These observations were made by the MESSENGER spacecraft during two flybys of Mercury and while in orbit ...
Optofluidic Fabry--P[e-acute]rot cavity biosensor with integrated flow-through micro-/nanochannels
(The American Institute of Physics, 2011-01-24)
Quantum Corrections to Gravity: Polishing the Window into the Black Hole Microstates.
(2016)
A thorough understanding of quantum gravity is one of the greatest challenges of modern theoretical physics, given the incompatibility of general relativity and quantum mechanics. In order to address this challenge many ...
Discovery of New, Dust-poor B[e] Supergiants in the Small Magellanic Cloud
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
We present the discovery of three new B[e] supergiants (sgB[e] stars) in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC). All three stars (R15, R38, and R48) were identified in the course of our Runaways and Isolated O Type Star Spectroscopic ...
Highly-efficient single-cell capture in microfluidic array chips using differential hydrodynamic guiding structures
(The American Institute of Physics, 2011-03-21)
Energy Transport in Organic Photovoltaics.
(2015)
Organic photovoltaics (OPV) have the potential to be a flexible and low-cost form of carbon-neutral energy production. However, many of the underlying physical mechanisms that dictate the behavior of OPVs remain frustratingly ...
Ion energy distributions in inductively coupled plasmas having a biased boundary electrode
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
In many plasma materials processing applications requiring energetic ion bombardment such as plasma etching, control of the time-averaged ion energy distributions (IEDs) to surfaces is becoming increasingly important to ...
Towards Designer Microparticles: Simultaneous Control of Anisotropy, Shape, and Size
(WILEY-VCH Verlag, 2010-02-05)
Biodegradable, compositionally anisotropic microparticles with two distinct compartments that exhibit controlled shapes and sizes are fabricated. These multifunctional particles are prepared by electrohydrodynamic co-jetting ...
Suzaku Observation of the Black Hole Candidate Maxi J1836-194 in a Hard/Intermediate Spectral State
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
We report on a Suzaku observation of the newly discovered X-ray binary MAXI J1836-194. The source is found to be in the hard/intermediate spectral state and displays a clear and strong relativistically broadened iron ...
A Parameterized Galaxy Catalog Simulator for Testing Cluster Finding, Mass Estimation, and Photometric Redshift Estimation in Optical and Near-infrared Surveys
(IOP Publishing, 2012)
We present a galaxy catalog simulator that converts N -body simulations with halo and subhalo catalogs into mock, multiband photometric catalogs. The simulator assigns galaxy properties to each subhalo in a way that ...
