We have searched for large deviations from Newtonian gravity by means of a finite-frequency microcantilever-based experiment. Our data eliminate consideration mechanisms deviation that posit strengths approximately 10(4) times at length scales 20 microm. This measurement is 3 orders magnitude more sensitive than others provide constraints similar scales.
Several recent theories suggest that light moduli or particles in ``large'' extra dimensions could mediate macroscopic forces exceeding gravitational strength at length scales below a millimeter. Such new can be parameterized as Yukawa-type correction to the Newtonian potential of $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ relative gravity and range $\ensuremath{\lambda}$. To extend search for such physics we have improved our apparatus utilizing cryogenic micro-cantilevers capable measuring attonewton forces,...

In order to test these theories, we a built an apparatus that can measure attonewton-scale forces between gold masses separated by distances on $25\text{ }\text{ }\ensuremath{\mu}\mathrm{m}$. A micromachined silicon cantilever was used as force sensor, and its displacement measured with fiber interferometer. We our measurements set bounds magnitude $\ensuremath{\alpha}$...
We present an experimental and theoretical study of a scalar atomic magnetometer using oscillating field-driven Zeeman resonance in high-density optically-pumped potassium vapor. describe implementation gradiometer with noise level below 10 fT/Hz^{1/2}, fractional field sensitivity 10^{-9}/Hz^{1/2}, active measurement volume about 1.5 cm^3. show that the fundamental is determined by rate alkali-metal spin-exchange collisions even though linewidth can be made much smaller than pumping most...
Ferrite materials provide magnetic shielding performance similar to commonly used high permeability metals but have lower intrinsic noise generated by thermal Johnson currents due their electrical resistivity. Measurements inside a ferrite shield with spin-exchange relaxation-free atomic magnetometer reveal level of 0.75fTHz−1∕2, 25 times than what would be expected in comparable μ-metal shield. The authors identify 1∕f component the magnetization fluctuations and derive general...

Though data augmentation has become a standard component of deep neural network training, the underlying mechanism behind effectiveness these techniques remains poorly understood. In practice, policies are often chosen using heuristics either distribution shift or diversity. Inspired by these, we seek to quantify how improves model generalization. To this end, introduce interpretable and easy-to-compute measures: Affinity Diversity. We find that performance is predicted not alone but jointly...

Abstract Fe anodes are emerging as cost‐effective components in long duration storage applications, with a benefit being the high natural abundance of Fe. Additive and electrode design have advanced performance electrodes, but more precise understanding formation process failure mechanisms is important for continued optimization. These interfacial electrochemical processes, which involve short‐lived intermediate species, require analysis spatial temporal resolution to provide full picture....
