We have applied the frequency-domain technique to measurement of the optical properties of turbid media with strong absorption in the infinite medium limit.

Nuclear fusion, as conventionally understood, is a process whereby the nuclei of light elements fuse together to form heavier ones.

Here we describe an LRET binding assay used to monitor the interaction of E. coli σ70 and σ32 with core RNA polymerase along with the controls to verify the system.

We fabricated high-mobility field-effect transistors based on epitaxial graphene synthesized by vacuum graphitization of both the Si- and C-faces of SiC.

Graphene is formed on SiC(000-1) surfaces (the so-called C-face of the crystal) by annealing in vacuum, with the resulting films characterized by atomic force microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, scanning Auger…

Thermochemical analyses of gaseous equilibrium data involving the species TiCl, TiCl2, and TiCl3 were revised with the aid of more recent information on the low-lying electronic states, yielding more reliable…

We report the successful application of low-power (~30 mW) laser radiation as an optical heating source for high-speed real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of DNA in nanoliter droplets dispersed…

We report high-speed real-time PCR performed on an unmodified disposable polystyrene Petri dish. The reaction cycle relies solely on an infrared laser for heating; no conventional heater is required.

The ultimate extrapolation of this technology is the electrical heating of thin PdDx wires resulting in destructive high-speed melting - “exploding wires”. Exploding wire technology has been used for over…
