Advanced Tests of Fundamental Physics with State-of-the-Art Optical Clocks/Two-Way Time Links in Space

December 23, 2021
Author(s)
Chris Oates, Nathan R. Newbury, Laura Sinclair, Leo Hollberg, Andrei Derevianko, Marianna Safronova, Nan Yu, Kurt Gibble
Recent advances in optical atomic clocks and optical time transfer have enabled new possibilities in precision metrology for both tests of fundamental physics and timing applications. Space offers both the potential to vary significantly the gravitational

Author(s)
Andrei Derevianko, Kurt Gibble, Leo Hollberg, Nathan R. Newbury, Chris Oates, Laura Sinclair, Nan Yu
Recent advances in optical atomic clocks and optical time transfer have enabled new possibilities in precision metrology for both tests of fundamental physics and timing applications. Here we describe a space mission concept that would place a state-of-the

Non-fullerene acceptors with direct and indirect hexa-fluorination afford > 17% efficiency in polymer solar cells

December 22, 2021
Author(s)
Subhrangsu Mukherjee, Guoping Li, Liang-Wen Feng, Leighton Jones, Robert Jacobberger, Wei Huang, Ryan Young, Robert Pankow, Weigang Zhu, Norman Lu, Kevin Kohlstedt, Vinod Sangwan, Michael Wasielewski, Mark Hersam, George Schatz, Dean DeLongchamp, Antonio Facchetti, Tobin Marks
The rational molecular design of non-fullerene acceptors (NFAs) in organic solar cells (OSCs) can profoundly influence the photovoltaic (OPV) performance. To date, NFA fluorination has proven beneficial to cell performance. However, there is a lack of

Nu Tools: Exploring Practical Roles for Neutrinos in Nuclear Energy and Security

December 21, 2021
Author(s)
Hans Pieter Mumm, Tomi Akindele, Nathaniel Bowden, Rachel Carr, Andrew Conant, Milind Diwan, Anna Erickson, Michael Foxe, Bethany Goldblum, Patrick Huber, Igor Jovanovic, Jonathan Link, Bryce Littlejohn, Jason Newby
For decades, physicists have used neutrinos from nuclear reactors to advance basic science. These pursuits have inspired many ideas for application of neutrino detectors in nuclear energy and security. While developments in neutrino detectors are now

A Robust Algorithm for PAM4 Eye-Diagram Analysis

December 20, 2021
Author(s)
Jeffrey Jargon, Jerome Cheron
We propose a new approach for analyzing PAM4 (pulse amplitude modulation 4-level) eye diagrams that always provides a unique solution by making use of a K-Means algorithm in conjunction with a robust, shortest interval location estimator. Our motivation

Admission Control and Scheduling of Isochronous Traffic in IEEE 802.11ad MAC

December 20, 2021
Author(s)
Anirudha Sahoo, Weichao Gao, Tanguy Ropitault, Nada T. Golmie
An upsurge of bandwidth hungry applications such as virtual reality, augmented reality and availability of unlicensed spectrum in the mmWave band at 60 GHz have led to standardization of the next generation WiFi such as IEEE 802.11ad and 802.11ay. Due to

Excipient Innovation Through Precompetitive Research

December 20, 2021
Author(s)
Bruce Yu, Marc Taraban, Katharine Briggs, Robert Brinson, John Marino
The mRNA COVID-19 vaccines developed by Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna represent a triumph of vaccine development. The core mRNA component of these vaccines is now almost a household name. Unbeknownst to most people, however, is that each of the two mRNA

Instrumented Charpy Tests at 77 K on 316L Stainless Steel Welded Plates

December 20, 2021
Author(s)
Enrico Lucon, Jake Benzing
In the framework of a collaborative project between ASME, NASA, and NIST, instrumented Charpy tests have been performed at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K, or 196 °C) on specimens extracted from the center of four 316L welded stainless steel plates, each

Spin Dynamics in the Skyrmion-Host Lacunar Spinel GaV 4 S 8

December 20, 2021
Author(s)
G. Pokharel, H. Arachchige, S. Gao, S.-H. Do, R. Fishman, G. Ehlers, Yiming Qiu, Jose Rodriguez Rivera, M. B. Stone, H. Zhang, Stephen Wilson, D. Mandrus, A. Christianson
In the lacunar spinel GaV 4S 8, the interplay of spin, charge, and orbital degrees of freedom produces a rich phase diagram that includes an unusual Neel-type skyrmion phase composed of molecular spins. To provide ´ insight into the interactions underlying

Sub-picoliter Traceability of Microdroplet Gravimetry and Microscopy

December 20, 2021
Author(s)
Lindsay C. C. Elliott, Adam L. Pintar, Craig R. Copeland, Thomas Brian Renegar, Ronald G. Dixson, Robert Ilic, R. Michael Verkouteren, Samuel M. Stavis
Volumetric analysis of single microdroplets is difficult to perform by ensemble gravimetry, whereas optical microscopy is often inaccurate beyond the resolution limit. To address the latter issue, we advance and integrate these complementary methods

Spectroscopic analysis of M- and N-intrashell transitions in Co-like to Na-like Yb ions

December 19, 2021
Author(s)
Yuri Ralchenko, Dipti Goyal, Roshani Silwal, Endre Takacs, Joan Dreiling, Samuel Sanders, Amy Gall, Hemalatha Rudramadevi, John Gillaspy
The M-intrashell spectra from Co-like Yb$^43+}$ through Na-like Yb$^59+}$ ions produced in an electron beam ion trap (EBIT) at the National Institute of Standards and Technology have been studied in the extreme ultraviolet (EUV) range. A few N-intrashell

Inhibition by Tetrahydroquinoline Sulfonamide Derivatives of the Activity of Human 8-Oxoguanine DNA Glycosylase (OGG1) for Several Products of Oxidatively-induced DNA Base Lesions
