Terbium glows green

Green Fluorescent Protein Glows Gold

The awarding of this year's Nobel Prize in Chemistry to Osamu Shimomura, Martin Chalfie, and Roger Tsien for their discovery and development of green fluorescent protein earns this humble jellyfish protein a place of honor in the biology research hall of fame.

GLOWS: A High Fidelity Worm Simulator

This work presents our GLOWS (Gateway Level Oregon Worm Simulator) simulator, designed to produce realistic worm traffic over a broad range of scenarios. GLOWS simulates the spread of a worm across the Internet and its propagation into a single domain with the goal of capturing the worm traffic that crosses the gateway point separating the monitored domain from the Internet.

In‐Flight Observation of Gamma Ray Glows by ILDAS

An Airbus A340 aircraft flew over Northern Australia with the In-Flight Lightning Damage Assessment System (ILDAS) installed onboard. A long-duration gamma ray emission was detected. The most intense emission was observed at 12 km altitude and lasted for 20 s. Its intensity was 20 times the background counts, and it was abruptly terminated by a distant lightning flash. In this work we reconstru...

Sodium terbium(III) polyphosphate

Single crystals of the title compound, NaTb(PO(3))(4), were obtained by solid-state reaction. This compound belongs to type II of long-chain polyphosphates with the general formula A(I)B(III)(PO(3))(4). It is isotypic with the NaNd(PO(3))(4) and NaEr(PO(3))(4) homologues. The crystal structure is built up of infinite crenelated chains of corner-sharing PO(4) tetra-hedra with a repeating unit of...
