The aim of this paper is to introduce a new image analysis program "Nanoannotator" particularly developed for analyzing individual nanoparticles in transmission electron microscopy images. This paper describes the usefulness and efficiency of the program when analyzing nanoparticles, and at the same time, we compare it to more conventional nanoparticle analysis techniques. The techniques which ...

GRB 990123 is the most luminous event detected so far, and in an important paper, Hjorth et al. (1999) reported an upper limit on the degree of linear polarization of the optical afterglow for this burst (P < 2.3%). One of the interprtations for this small value of P was that the emission was probably due a relativistic jet with ordered magnetic field, and the viewing angle in the lab frame θ <...

— We present a design for a hard X-ray all-sky monitor which consists of a spherical structure whose surface is partially covered by circular units which serve the dual purpose of detector and mask elements, forming a coded aperture telescope with full 4π steradian coverage. We demonstrate that a simple practical implementation of this geometry results in an instrument which is capable of measu...

Resonant photon tunneling was investigated experimentally in multilayer structures containing a high-contrast (TiO(2)/SiO(2)) Bragg mirror capped with a semitransparent gold film. Transmission via a fundamental cavity resonance was compared with transmission via the Tamm plasmon polariton resonance that appears at the interface between a metal film and a one-dimensional photonic bandgap structu...
