Frequency Domain Thermoreflectance (FDTR) is a versatile and rapidly developing technique used to measure the thermal properties of thin films, multilayer stacks, and interfaces that govern the performance and thermal management in semiconductor

Federated learning (FL) enables the protection of data privacy through collaborative training of a machine learning (ML) model without sharing local data. However, several common problems arise when designing FL frameworks, as they rely on a central server
A method is described for determination of fluorine in reference materials by chopped beam cold neutron prompt gamma-ray activation analysis (CB-CNPGAA). The chopper cycle is set to 11 s on/off to match the t1/2 of 20F. To reduce systematic error, the F

Despite the variety in sequencing platforms, mappers, and variant callers, no single pipeline is optimal across the entire human genome. Therefore, developers, clinicians, and researchers need to make tradeoffs when designing pipelines for their
This report serves as a guide to the Smart Investment Tool and Smart Investment Tool Express (SITExpress). These tools aid a user in conducting an investment analysis with a focus on those in the manufacturing industry; however, the methods can be used for

We report the results of a combined grazing incidence wide-angle X-ray scattering (GIWAXS) and four-dimensional scanning transmission microscopy (4D-STEM) analysis of the effects of thermal processing on poly(3[2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy]-methylthiophene- 2

Rapid separation of linear crystals of trapped ions into different subsets is critical for realizing trapped ion quantum computing architectures where ions are rearranged in trap arrays to achieve all-to-all connectivity between qubits. We introduce a

We develop a surface for the electric dipole moment of three interacting helium atoms and use it, together with state-of-the-art potential and polarizability surfaces, to compute the third dielectric virial coefficient, Cε, for both 4He and 3He isotopes
We present a new wide-ranging correlation for the viscosity of nitrogen based on critically evaluated experimental data. The correlation is designed to be used with densities from an existing equation of state, which is valid from the triple point to 1000
Single-crystalline covalent organic frameworks (COFs) are highly desirable towards understanding their pore chemistry and functions. Herein, two 50100 μm single-crystalline three-dimensional (3D) COFs, TAM-TFPB-COF and TAPB-TFS-COF, were fabricated from

The long-sought pair density wave (PDW) is an exotic phase of matter in which charge density wave (CDW) order is intertwined with the amplitude or phase of coexisting, superconducting order. Originally predicted to exist in copper-oxides, circumstantial

We demonstrate a general-purpose approach to evaluate interference immunity at the transmitter (data payload source) of a 'closed-box' wireless communication system over different time-scales. Specifically, using a consumer off-the-shelf point-to-point
Gallium, Indium and Cobalt are critical materials that vital to ramping up the adoption of clean energy technologies such as solar photovoltaics (PVs), electric vehicles (EVs) and wind turbines (WTs). Like other critical materials, they too are prone to

Before the passage of the Agriculture Improvement Act of 2018 more commonly referred to as the 2018 Farm Bill, forensic laboratories were only required to perform qualitative measurements to confirm the identity of seized plant samples as Cannabis sativa

Interference between communication systems is a critical issue that can impact performance and operability of devices. A wide range of methods and testbeds have been developed to study susceptibility to interference, and each of these testbeds and their
Undesired coupling to the surrounding environment destroys long-range correlations on quantum processors and hinders the coherent evolution in the nominally available computational space. This noise is an outstanding challenge to leverage the computation
The mass spectral library of the Scientific Working Group for the Analysis of Seized Drugs (SWGDRUG) is the most comprehensive free reference database of its kind in the world. It provides reliable mass spectra for identification of seized drugs, their

NIST has tested a prototype portable quantum traceable pressure standard for the calibration of pressure gauges. The low-pressure limit of this device was extended by making some minor upgrades. The performance over the range of 0.01 Pa to 400000 Pa was

Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) are promising optomechanical elements due to their excellent photonic properties and sensitivity to local strain fields. Microwave-frequency modulation of photons scattered from these efficient quantum emitters has
An experimental cryptographic proof of quantumness — that is, a proof, based only on well-studied cryptographic assumptions, that a physical device is performing quantum computations — will be a vital milestone in the progress of quantum information

With the increasing need to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions, the voluntary carbon market (VCM) provides a platform to help organizations reach net-zero emission goals through the purchase of carbon offsets. Carbon offsets provide a means to compensate

Recent developments in diameter metrology at NIST have improved the dimensional characterization of piston–cylinder assemblies (PCAs) to unprecedented precision. For the newest generation of PCA, the standard uncertainty on measurement of outer diameter is

Autoradiography can be an important tool in preclinical investigations with alpha-emitting radionuclides. Precise biodistribution studies establish the effectiveness of chemical "targeting" strategies, assuring that the promise of targeted alpha therapy

Wi-Fi sensing has been used to detect and track movements in an environment, resulting in the emergence of several innovative applications. Wi-Fi sensing can detect movement and locate objects by analyzing variations in the Wi-Fi signal due to its
Knowing material behavior is crucial to successful design, especially given the growing number of next-generation energy, defense, and manufacturing systems operating in extreme environments. Specific applications for materials in extreme environments
