Superdielectric behavior was observed in pastes made of high surface area alumina filled to the level of incipient wetness with water containing dissolved sodium chloride (table salt). In some cases the dielectric constants were greater…

The crystalline structure of minerals due to the highly ordered assembly of its constituent atoms, ions or molecules confers a considerable hardness and brittleness to the materials. As a result, they are generally subject to fracture. Here…

Let $g$ be an affine Lie algebra with index set $I = \{0, 1, 2,..., n\}$ and $g^L$ be its Langlands dual. It is conjectured that for each $i \in I \setminus \{0\}$ the affine Lie algebra $g$ has a positive geometric crystal whose…

This white paper addresses the hypothesis of light sterile neutrinos based on recent anomalies observed in neutrino experiments and the latest astrophysical data.

Using density functional theory the atomic and electronic structure of sodium are predicted to depart substantially from those expected of simple metals for $r_s <$ 2.48 ($p > 130$ GPa). Newly-predicted phases include those with low…

Strange stars ought to exist in the universe according to the strange quark matter hypothesis, which states that matter made of roughly equal numbers of up, down, and strange quarks could be the true ground state of baryonic matter rather…

We present a simple argument to account for crystallization of hard spheres under the action of a gravitational field. The paper attempts to bridge the gap between two communities of scientists, one working on granular materials and the…

Glycolamide is a glycine isomer and also one of the simplest derivatives of acetamide (e.g., one hydrogen atom is replaced with a hydroxyl group), which is a known interstellar molecule. Using a battery of state of the art rotational…

Twenty four calcium isotopes have so far been observed; the discovery of these isotopes is discussed. For each isotope a brief summary of the first refereed publication, including the production and identification method, is presented.

Sometimes it appears, sometimes it does not. We present a theoretical study of circular dichroism in the second-harmonic signal of single dielectric nanostructures with different symmetries and noncentrosymmetric materials. We show that…

The nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko exhibits a broad spectral reflectance feature around 3.2 $\mu$m, which is omnipresent in all spectra of the surface, and whose attribution has remained elusive since its discovery. Based on…

This report concerns analytical solutions predicting the complex refractive indices of doped crystals, based on empirical values of the refractive indices of the dopant and the undoped crystal. An analytical approach in calculating the…

We study the crystal base of the negative part of a quantum group. Two explicit descriptions of the crystal $B(\infty)$ for types $G_2$ are given. The first is given in terms of extended Nakajima monomials and the second realization follows…

We shall realize certain affine geometric crystal of type $D_4^{(3)}$ associated with the fundamental representation $W(\pi_1)$ explicitly . By its explicit form, we see that it has a positive structure.

The detection of the amino acid glycine and its amine precursor methylamine on the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by the Rosetta mission provides strong evidence for a cosmic origin of prebiotics on Earth. How and when such complex organic…

The authors of the title paper report to have grown ammonium hydrogen L-tartrate (1) by use of L-glutamine and L-tartaric acid in 1:1 mole ratio. Many points of criticism pertaining to the characterization of 1 are described herein.

Barium stars are extrinsic Asymptotic Giant Branch (AGB) stars. They present the s-enhancement characteristic for AGB and post-AGB stars, but are in an earlier evolutionary stage (main sequence dwarfs, subgiants, red giants). They are…

In a recent publication [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 124}, 178902] \"Ohberg and Wright claim that in a chiral soliton model it is possible to realize a genuine time crystal which corresponds to a periodic evolution of an inhomogeneous probability…

In this work we provide a thorough examination of the nonlinear dielectric properties of a succinonitrile-glutaronitrile mixture, representing one of the rare example of a plastic crystal with fragile glassy dynamics. The detected…
