Soil specific surface area (SSA) is an important property of soil. Depending on the measurement techniques, determination of the SSA is costly and time consuming. Hence, a limited number of studies have been conducted to predict the SSA from the soil...
Memristors based on 2D layered materials could provide biorealistic ionic interactions and potentially enable construction of energy-efficient artificial neural networks capable of faithfully emulating neuronal interconnections in human brains. To bu...
Three-dimensional single particle tracking (3D SPT) is a powerful tool in various chemical and biological studies. In 3D SPT, z sensitive point spread functions (PSFs) are frequently used to generate different patterns, from which the axial position ...
