Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated an elegantly simple technique for synthesizing a wide variety of complex "gradient compostion surfaces" ...

Studying and controlling reactions at surfaces is of great fundamental and applied interest in, among others, biology, electronics and catalysis. Because reaction kinetics is different at surfaces ...

Exploiting a novel technique called phase discontinuity, researchers have induced light rays to behave in a way that defies the centuries-old laws of reflection and refraction. The discovery has led ...

Lehigh Univeristy scientists, as reported in the Jan. 26, 2001, issue of Science, have succeeded in making droplets of water speed at rates of centimeters, even a meter or more, per second. Manoj ...

Optical Surfaces has supplied an ultra high precision off-axis parabolic mirror to the Central Laser Facility at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) in Didcot, UK. The ultra smooth mirror ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract A striking trend of the Indian Ocean interhemispheric gradient in sea surface temperatures (SSTs) developed during the recent global warming ...

The so-called equilibrium of rivers is not so well defined as to allow far reaching conclusions about the morphogenous effect of rivers considered to be in a state of equilibrium. The author thinks ...

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have demonstrated an elegantly simple technique for synthesizing a wide variety of complex surfaces that vary in a controlled ...

New mirror improves research potential of UK-based high energy laser. RAL's new ultra-high precision off-axis parabolic mirror. The Central Laser Facility at the STFC Rutherford Appleton Laboratory ...
