Imaging thermal conductivity with nanoscale resolution using a scanning spin probe

Abdelghani Laraoui, Halley Aycock-Rizzo, Yang Gao +3

The ability to probe nanoscale heat flow in a material is often limited by lack of spatial resolution. Here, we use a diamond-nanocrystal-hosted nitrogen-vacancy centre attached to…

Classical Zero-Point Radiation and Relativity: The Problem of Blackbody Radiation Revisited

Timothy H. Boyer

The physicists of the early 20th century were unaware of two ideas which are vital to understanding some aspects of modern physics within classical theory. The two ideas are: 1) th…

Between primitive and -transitive: Synchronization and its friends

João Araújo, Peter J. Cameron, Benjamin Steinberg

An automaton is said to be synchronizing if there is a word in the transitions which sends all states of the automaton to a single state. Research on this topic has been driven by…
