Yan Jin, Erwan Lucas, Jizhao Zang, Travis Briles, Ivan Dickson, David Carlson, Scott Papp
Control of nonlinear interactions in microresonators enhances access to classical and quantum field states across nearly limitless bandwidth. A recent innovation has been to leverage coherent scattering of the intraresonator pump as a control of group

Infographic on Post-Earthquake Functional Recovery Performance

February 10, 2025
Author(s)
Katherine Johnson, Siamak Sattar, Dustin Cook
In the U.S., building codes and standards have been developed to reduce the likelihood of building collapse but do not address the loss of building functions or recovery times due to earthquakes. When scaled to the community level, negative consequences

NIST Neutron Source Pre-Conceptual Design

Symmetry-breaking induced surface magnetization in non-magnetic RuO2

February 6, 2025
Author(s)
Garnett Bryant, Quoc Dai Ho, Quang To, Ruiqi Hu, Anderson Janotti
Altermagnetism is a newly identified phase of magnetism distinct from ferromagnetism and antiferromagnetism. RuO2 has been considered a prototypical metallic altermagnet with a critical temperature higher than room temperature. Previous interpretations of

The Burning Characteristics of 3 m to 6 m Dry Douglas-Fir Trees

Chelsea Shover, Morgan Godvin, Meghan Appley, Elise Pyfrom, Fernando Montero Castrillo, Karli Hochstatter, Neil Garg, Adam Koncsol, Joseph Friedman, Caitlin Molina, Ruby Romero, Brendan Harshberger, Jordan Spoliansky, Candace Winstead, Edward Sisco
Bis(2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-4-piperidyl) sebacate (BTMPS) belongs to a class of molecules called hindered amine light stabilizers that are used in plastics manufacturing and as adhesives or sealants.1 BTMPS has not been studied in humans or approved for human

A Collection of Dwellings to Represent the U.S. Housing Stock

February 4, 2025
Author(s)
Nathan Lima, Andrew K. Persily, Steven Emmerich
This report presents a comprehensive update to the collection of dwellings used to represent the U.S. housing stock, reflecting changes and trends up to the year 2024. This update aims to ensure the collection remains relevant and accurately mirrors the

The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 (Greek translation)

February 4, 2025
Author(s)
Cherilyn Pascoe, Stephen Quinn, Karen Scarfone
The NIST Cybersecurity Framework (CSF) 2.0 provides guidance to industry, government agencies, and other organizations to manage cybersecurity risks. It offers a taxonomy of high-level cybersecurity outcomes that can be used by any organization —

A bilateral comparison of 227Th activity standards between NPL and NIST

February 3, 2025
Author(s)
Andrew Fenwick, Denis Bergeron, Brittany Broder, Emma Bendall, Jeffrey Cessna, Sean Collins, Leticia Pibida, Natasha Ramirez, Elisa Napoli
The National Physical Laboratory (United Kingdom) and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (United States) each determined the massic activity and effective separation time of a common solution of 227Th. Measurements at both laboratories were

Resilience-Runtime Tradeoff Relations for Quantum Algorithms

February 3, 2025
Author(s)
Luis Pedro Garcia-Pintos, Tom O'Leary, Tanmoy Biswas, Jacob Bringewatt, Lukasz Cincio, Lucas Brady, Yi-Kai Liu
A leading approach to algorithm design aims to minimize the number of operations in an algorithm's compilation. One intuitively expects that reducing the number of operations may decrease the chance of errors. This paradigm is particularly prevalent in

Insights on grain refinement of Al-Mn-Fe-Si alloy via in situ reaction during laser direct energy deposition

February 2, 2025
Author(s)
Qingyu Pan, Fan Zhang, Deepak Vikraman Pillai, Zilong Zhang, Yufeng Zheng, Lang Yuan, Monica Kapoor, John Carsley, Xiaoyuan Lou
In the present work, we studied the grain refinement by adding in situ reactants, pure titanium (Ti) or a combination of Ti and boron (B), and investigated the governing mechanism in Al-Mn-Fe-Si 3104 alloy made by laser direct energy deposition (DED)
