Most laser sources produce Gaussian beams that diverge as they propagate. This natural spreading limits their effectiveness in applications that require light to remain concentrated over long ...

Plastic, once ingenious for its durability and versatility, has become a global environmental issue that is affecting every ...

During femtosecond laser fabrication, photons are mainly absorbed by electrons, and the subsequent energy transfer from electrons to ions is of picosecond order. Hence, lattice motion is negligible ...

Rice University scientists and collaborators have created a new type of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductor that comes closer ...

What if chronic diseases, which are difficult to treat with medicine alone, could be managed with electricity? As ...

Abstract: Cyclic simplex codes are usually deemed as impractical because of their extremely low rate and large codeword length for practical values of the code dimension. To address these limitations, ...

Abstract: To address the computational demands in different regions of the multiscale problem, a hybrid method is developed based on the switched Huygens subgridding and the precise-integration ...
