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) ...

Many live vicariously through their favorite film and television characters. They aspire to be the fifth friend to hang out ...

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 ...
