Data for interpreting virus inactivation on N95 face filtering respirators (FFRs) by ultraviolet (UV) radiation are important in developing UV strategies for N95 FFR disinfection and reuse for any situation, whether it be everyday practices, contingency

The development of an international, precompetitive, collaborative, ultraviolet (UV) research consortium is discussed as an opportunity to lay the groundwork for a new UV commercial industry and the supply chain to support this industry. History has

Extensive research is currently focused on 2D and 3D magnetic topological insulators (MTIs), as their many novel properties make them excellent candidates for applications in spintronics and quantum computing. Practical MTIs requires a combination of

In the eld of light-matter interactions, it is often assumed that a classical light field that interacts with a quantum particle remains almost unchanged and thus contains nearly no information about the manipulated particles. To investigate the validity

Metallic transition metal dichalcogenides like tantalum diselenide (TaSe2) exhibit exciting behaviors at low temperatures including the emergence of charge density wave (CDW) states. In this work, density functional theory (DFT) is used to classify the
The Time and Frequency Bulletin provides information on performance of time scales and a variety of broadcasts (and related information) to users of the NIST services.

Scattering (S-) parameters are fundamental to numerous microwave quantities including antenna factors, microwave power, and phase. The uncertainty in S-parameter measurements is influenced by the test setup, including instrument noise, drift, position of
