(2012)
We report transverse momentum (pT≤15  GeV/c) spectra of π±, K±, p, p¯, K0S, and ρ0 at midrapidity in p+p and Au+Au collisions at √sNN=200  GeV. Perturbative QCD calculations are consistent with π± spectra in p+p collisions ...
• #### Imaging molecular adsorption and desorption dynamics on graphene using terahertz emission spectroscopy ﻿

(2014-08-13)
Being an atomically thin material, graphene is known to be extremely susceptible to its environment, including defects and phonons in the substrate on which it is placed as well as gas molecules that surround it. Thus, any ...
• #### Imaging the evolution of an ultracold strontium Rydberg gas ﻿

(2013-01-07)
Clouds of ultracold strontium 5s48s1S0 or 5s47d1D2 Rydberg atoms are created by two-photon excitation of laser-cooled 5s21S0 atoms. The spontaneous evolution of the cloud of low orbital angular momentum (low-ℓ) Rydberg ...

(2012)
The limited specificity of nanoparticle (NP) uptake by target cells associated with a disease is one of the principal challenges of nanomedicine. Using the threshold mechanism of plasmonic nanobubble (PNB) generation and ...
• #### Improvements in short-term forecasting of geomagnetic activity ﻿

(2012)
We have improved our space weather forecasting algorithms to now predict Dst and AE in addition to Kp for up to 6 h of forecast times. These predictions can be accessed in real time at http://mms.rice. edu/realtime/for ...
• #### Impurity-Induced Plasmon Damping in Individual Cobalt-Doped Hollow Au Nanoshells ﻿

(2014)
The optical properties of plasmonic nanoparticles in the size range corresponding to the electrostatic, or dipole, limit have the potential to reveal effects otherwise masked by phase retardation. Here we examine the optical ...
• #### In Silico Discovery of High Deliverable Capacity Metal-Organic Frameworks ﻿

(2015)
Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are actively being explored as potential adsorbed natural gas storage materials for small vehicles. Experimental exploration of potential materials is limited by the throughput of synthetic ...
• #### In silico prediction of MOFs with high deliverable capacity or internal surface area ﻿

(2015)
Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) offer unprecedented atom-scale design and structural tunability, largely due to the vast number of possible organic linkers which can be utilized in their assembly. Exploration of this space ...

(2014)
Controlling electronic population through chemical doping is one way to tip the balance between competing phases in materials with strong electronic correlations. Vanadium dioxide exhibits a first-order phase transition ...
• #### Inclusive and differential measurements of the tt¯ charge asymmetry in proton–proton collisions at √s=7 TeV ﻿

(2012)
The tt¯ charge asymmetry is measured in events containing a charged lepton (electron or muon) and at least four jets, one of which is identified as originating from b-quark hadronization. The analyzed dataset corresponds ...
