Almost constant voltage plateaus on the V(I) curves of long quasi-one-dimensional superconducting aluminum wires placed in magnetic field at temperatures T slightly below the critical superconducting temperature Tc were found which were…
We address the question of whether or not the properties of all low-luminosity flat spectrum radio sources, not just the obvious BL Lac objects, are consistent with them being the relativistically beamed counterparts of the low radio…
This paper investigates the coupling properties between surface waves on parallel wires. Finite Element Method (FEM) based and analytical models are developed for both single wire Sommerfeld and Goubau lines. Starting with the Sommerfeld…
We investigate the effect of strong, nonmagnetic impurities on quasi-one-dimensional conventional and unconventional density waves (DW and UDW). The conventional case remains unaffected similarly to s-wave superconductors in the presence of…
A planar magneto-electric (ME) dipole antenna array is proposed and demonstrated by both full-wave analysis and experiments. The proposed structure leverages the infinite wavelength propagation characteristic of composite right/left-handed…
A small number of double-lobed radio galaxies (17 from our own census of the literature) show an additional pair of low surface brightness `wings', thus forming an overall `X'-shaped appearance. The origin of the wings in these radio…
We present some results from an archival VLA study of ultraluminous X-ray source s (ULXs). These unresolved non-nuclear X-ray sources have luminosities (L_X >= 1 0^39 ergs/sec) which may require somewhat exotic explanations, such as…
Alkali-metal atomic vapors are the foundation of an ever-growing range of applications, driven by a comprehensive understanding of their interaction with light. In particular, many models have been developed which characterize this…

Million degree plasmas are ubiquitous in the Universe, and examples include the atmospheres of white dwarfs; accretion phenomena in young stars, cataclysmic variables and active galactic nuclei; the coronae of stars; and the interstellar…
We show that two-dimensional arrays of thin metallic wires can guide transverse electromagnetic (TEM) waves and focus them to the spatial dimensions much smaller that the vacuum wavelength. This guiding property is retained for the tapered…
Diffusive Radiation is a new type of radiation predicted to occur in randomly inhomogeneous media due to the multiple scattering of pseudophotons. This theoretical effect is now observed experimentally. The radiation is generated by the…
Diffuse intensities in the electron diffraction patterns of concentrated face-centered cubic solid solutions have been widely attributed to chemical short-range order, although this connection has been recently questioned. This article…
The generation of very narrow linewidth light sources is of great importance in modern science. One such source is the superradiant laser, which relies on collectively interacting ultra long lived dipoles driven by incoherent light. Here we…
X-shaped radio galaxies are defined by their peculiar large-scale radio morphology. In addition to the classical double-lobed structure they have a pair of low-luminosity wings that straddles the nucleus at almost right angles to the active…

Manipulation of radiation is required for enabling a span of electromagnetic applications. Since properties of antennas and scatterers are very sensitive to a surrounding environment, macroscopic artificially created materials are good…

Recently, complex horizontal patterns of umbral oscillations have been reported, but their physical nature and origin are still not fully understood. Here we show that the two-dimensional patterns of umbral oscillations of slow waves are…
