The skin has two types of adult stem cells: epidermal and hair follicle. Their jobs seem well-defined: maintaining the skin, ...

Recent literature has suggested that the McCumber relation relating laser emission and absorption cross-sections is not valid for erbium:glass. We present a theoretical and experimental defence of the ...

New research explains how scalp hair grows so long, and how its characteristics helped us thrive.

Experimental angled heavy-ion single-event cross sections for hardened and unhardened flip-flops for technology nodes ranging from 28-nm to 130-nm are compared. Results show that hardened flip-flop ...
