We report the findings of an empirical study that investigated whether the source of data—firsthand or secondhand data gained from lab work experiments—has an influence on students’ learning outcomes. Results indicate that ...

Over the last decades, bilateral trade agreements (BTAs) have increased considerably in number and economic relevance. Notably, such agreements substantially affect global trade, since the reorganization of flows of goods ...

Improved multiphoton‐excited imaging and microspectroscopy require nanoprobes that can give different nonlinear optical signals. Here, composite nanostructures with a barium titanate core and a plasmonic moiety at their ...

We present a 100 kHz broadband vibrational sum-frequency generation (VSFG) spectrometer operating in the 5.7-10.5 µm (950-1750 cm−1) wavelength range. The mid-infrared beam of the system is obtained from a collinear, type-I ...

Overcoming the detrimental effects of sweet spots during crystallization is an important step to improve the quantitative abilities of matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. In this study, ...

A synthesis route to controlled and dynamic single polymer chain folding is reported. Sequence‐controlled macromolecules containing precisely located selenol moieties within a polymer chain are synthesized. Oxidation of ...

Nonlinear optical signals benefit greatly from the enhanced local optical fields in the vicinity of plasmonic nanostructures. Gold and silver nanovoid arrays of varying size and thickness, fabricated by electrochemical ...

Heterojunctions formed by ultrathin conductive polymer [poly(3,4‐ethylenedioxythiophene): poly(styrenesulfonate)—PEDOT:PSS] films and n‐type crystalline silicon are investigated by photoelectron spectroscopy. Large shifts ...

Recently, quantum contextuality has been proved to be the source of quantum computation’s power. That, together with multiple recent contextual experiments, prompts improving the methods of generation of contextual sets ...

In order to study the thermoelectric properties of individual nanowires, a thermoelectric nanowire characterization platform (TNCP) has been previously developed and used in our chair. Here, we report on a redesigned ...
