Thin polymer films are widely used as functional and protective coatings. However, determining the composition and processing conditions that produce a desired function is a tedious process due to the large number of factors that must be…

The transition from automated data collection to fully autonomous discovery requires a shared vocabulary to benchmark progress. While the automotive industry relies on the SAE J3016 standard, current taxonomies for autonomous science…

The operation of instruments and detectors in laboratory or beamline environments presents a complex challenge, requiring stable operation of multiple concurrent devices, often controlled by separate hardware and software solutions. These…

We present a vector network analyzer (VNA) based broadband cryogenic ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectrometer, operating up to 20 GHz over a temperature range of 11 to 350 K. A cost effective architecture is implemented through the…

This study aims to improve the TauFinder reconstruction algorithm for the MAIA detector concept. Through this work, we seek to increase the reconstruction efficiency and identification of hadronically decaying tau leptons. Through our work,…

We report reproducible track-detector signals consistent with slow neutron capture events, recorded in D$_2$O electrolysis involving D-Pd deposited on Pt cathode. Sensitivity to slow neutrons was achieved using boron-coated CR-39 (BCR)…
