Temporal evolutions and quasi-periodic variations present in the sunspot number and group sunspot area data measured at Kodaikanal Observatory for solar cycles 14 to 24 [PDF]
The Kodaikanal Observatory has made synoptic observations of the Sun in white light since 1904, and these images are sketched on the Stonyhurst grids called sun charts. These continuous hand-drawn data sets are used for long-term studies of the Sun. This article investigates temporal and periodic variations of the monthly hemispheric sunspot number and

The Mendeleev-Meyer force project [PDF]
Here we present the Mendeleev–Meyer Force Project which aims at tabulating all materials and substances in a fashion similar to the periodic table. The goal is to group and tabulate substances using nanoscale force footprints rather than atomic number or

Zeeman slowing of a group-III atom
We realize a Zeeman slower of an atom in main group III of the Periodic Table, otherwise known as the “triel elements.” Despite the fact that our atom of choice (namely indium) does not have a ground state cycling transition suitable for laser cooling ...

Periodic table for Floquet topological insulators [PDF]
Periodically driven systems have recently been shown to host topological phases that are inherently dynamical in character, opening up a new arena in which to explore topological physics.

Gyrochronological dating of the stellar moving group Group X [PDF]
Gyrochronology is one of the methods currently used to estimate the age of stellar open clusters. Hundreds of new clusters, associations, and moving groups unveiled by Gaia and complemented by accurate rotation period measurements provided by recent space missions such as Kepler and TESS are allowing us to significantly improve the reliability of this ...

Energy of Substitution of Anions and Cations in Zinc and Cadmium Telluride
Energy substitution of cations and anions in ZnTe i CdTe by atoms from first and seventh group of the periodic table were calculated using the method of bonding orbitals. Based on the results conclusions about the most likely types of defects by doping.

The Mnemonic Correction Becomes Meaningful Through Focus Group Discussion in Chemistry Learning
One of the concerns in the learning process is the meaning of writing mnemonics to help students memorize chemistry concepts. The research aimed to correct mnemonics in learning presentation by prospective chemistry teachers' students to be meaningful ...
