A team of researchers from ANSTO and University of Technology Sydney have set a record by conducting thin film experiments at 1,100 degrees Celsius, using the Spatz reflectometer equipped with a ...

Neutron reflectometry is a powerful analytical technique used to study the structure and composition of thin films, multilayers, and interfaces at the nanoscale. It involves directing a beam of ...

Graphene is a monolayer of graphite that is of significant interest because of its wide variety of applications in the semiconductor, healthcare, and aerospace fields. The unique properties of ...

A New Zealand-led scientific effort aims to help deliver more accurate, near real-time insights into soil moisture for ...

R. A. L. Jones and R. W. Richards, in “Polymers at Surfaces and Interfaces,” Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1999. A. Karim and S. Kumar, in “Polymer ...

Distributed optical fiber sensing (DOFS) is currently a mature technology that allows 'transforming' a conventional fiber optic into a continuous array of individual sensors, which are distributed ...

The unique properties of neutrons make them unmatched probes for materials science. Although they are particles, they have a wave-like nature, with wavelengths in the same range as X-ray wavelengths, ...

The characterization of semiconductor spin qubits with radiofrequency (RF) reflectometry offers the advantage of speed over low-frequency conductance measurements. This article discusses the ...

Originally developed for navigation and timing applications, signals from global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) are now commonly used for geophysical remote sensing applications, including ...

The tide gauge measurements from global navigation satellite system reflectometry (GNSS-R) observables are considered to be a promising alternative to the traditional tide gauges in the present days.

Optical methods are among the most common approaches to biosensing for plants and animals. For example, remote sensing equipment from satellites routinely use reflectance quality to determine the ...

The most general approach to evaluating the time domain response of any electromagnetic system is to solve Maxwell’s equations in the time domain. Such a procedure would take into account all the ...
