Nanostructures that exhibit high quality factors, strongly enhanced and tightly confined electromagnetic fields down to subwavelength scales, and accessible hotspots are of paramount importance for photonic devices. Plasmonic ...

Strontium iodide doped with europium (SrI2:Eu2+) is a new scintillator being developed for use in high-energy astrophysical detectors with excellent energy resolution. Nonproportionality is the primary limiting factor to ...

Due to the long free-space wavelengths associated with radiation in the infrared (IR), the realization of flat and sub-diffractional optical components promises advances in imaging, communications, sensing, and thermal ...

Heterotrimeric G proteins act as molecular switches in signaling pathways by coupling the activation of heptahelical receptors at the cell surface to intracellular responses. These receptors bind to and activate G proteins ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD), defined by low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), contributes to global morbidity and mortality. Here we conduct a transethnic Genome-Wide Association Study of eGFR in 280,722 ...

Many species of mosquitoes, including the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae, utilize olfactory and temperature cues in host-seeking behaviors that underlie their vectorial capacity. By using a combination of molecular ...

In this paper, we provide an overview of the most significant empirical research that has been conducted in recent years on the public and private enforcement of the federal securities laws. The existing studies of the ...
