Background: Preterm birth, birth defects, and unintended pregnancy are major sources of
infant and maternal morbidity, mortality, and associated resource use in American health care. …

In order to record complex THz pulses at high repetition rate, a particularly efficient method
consists of combining electro-optic detection with the so-called photonic time-stretch method. …

The work reports the direct epitaxial growth of SrTiO 3 on Si (001) substrate by molecular
beam epitaxy. The impact of the growth temperature and the initial oxygen partial pressure on …

Microporous AlPO 4 -54, which exhibits the largest pores among zeolites and
aluminophosphates with a diameter of 12.7 Å, was investigated at high pressure by X-ray powder …

Three ensembles designed to investigate condensed matter in complex environments have
been developed recently on the AILES beamline at SOLEIL. They have been exploited for …

A groundbreaking discovery in nanofluidics was the observation of the tremendously
enhanced water permeability of carbon nanotubes, those iconic objects of nanosciences. The …

Water confined in nonionic fluorocarbon reverse micelles was investigated through mid-infrared
spectroscopy (OH stretching and bending modes), in combination with quasielastic light …

AlPO 4 -17, known as the oxide with the highest negative thermal expansion (NTE), was
studied under high pressure by angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction (XRD), mid- and far-infrared (…

Confined H2O molecules act as local probes for depressurization phenomena during the
pressure induced amorphisation of faujasite NaX at which the OH stretching frequency first …

The investigation of ultrafast dynamics, taking place on the few to sub-picosecond time scale,
is today a very active research area pursued in a variety of scientific domains. With the …
