We present a Python-based framework for the complete operation of a robotic telescope observatory. It provides out-of-the-box support for many popular camera types while other hardware like telescopes ...

Topological defects are marvels of nature. Understanding their structures is important for their applications in, for example, directed self-assembly, sensing, and photonic devices. There is recent ...

Solution Builder is a tool for building LabVIEW project build specifications in the correct order and, when some of those build specifications generate Packed Project Libraries (PPL, which have a ...

Applications ranging from consumer electronics to high-power energy-conversion systems leverage the benefits of dc-dc power converters in their designs. Among these, flyback converters are popular for ...

Mechanical systems can display topological characteristics similar to that of topological insulators. Here we report a large class of topological mechanical systems related to the BDI symmetry class.

Al Qaeda and ISIS - also known as ISIL, Daesh, or the Islamic State - differ in their leadership structure and how they manage daily operations. The two rival jihadist groups share the goal of forming ...
