Since its development 100 years ago, quantum mechanics has revolutionized our understanding of nature, revealing a bizarre ...

We investigate theoretically and experimentally the forced response of flexural waves propagating in a 1D phononic crystal (PC) Euler-Bernoulli beam, composed by steel and polyethylene, and its band ...

Researchers have discovered a simple yet powerful way to protect atoms from losing information—a key challenge in developing ...

The pulsed electromagnetic (EM) plane-wave scattering by a thin, high-contrast metasurface with time-varying magneto-dielectric properties is analyzed analytically with the aid of the time-domain (TD) ...

President Donald Trump said Israeli jets had turned back from their planned strikes on Iran and that a ceasefire remains in effect. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said his air force ...

Very high plane-wave reflection coefficients can be obtained with practical semiconductor quarter-wave mirrors, but for beams of finite width, the reflection coefficient of a mirror with no lateral ...

Full configuration interaction (FCI) calculations have historically faced significant challenges in dealing with periodic systems. The plane-wave basis sets are valued for their efficiency and broad ...
