We describe a 40-channel x 9.953 Gb/s DWDM transmitter based on spectrum-slicing of supercontinuum (SC) light generated with an electroabsorption-modulated laser.

Glasses are disordered materials that lack the periodicity of crystals but behave mechanically like solids.

Many liquids have heat capacities that substantially exceed those of the corresponding crystal, and this discrepancy magnifies in the supercooled regime.

We report on the observation of novel features in the minor hysteresis loops in a clean crystal of 2H-NbSe2, which displays a peak effect.

Crack free dry gels provide a possibly advantageous route to glasses for example, optical fibers.

Noise and reverberation can seriously degrade both the microphone reception and the loudspeaker transmission of speech signals in hands-free telecommunication.

The fractional quantum Hall effect is a remarkable macroscopic quantum phenomenon occurring in the two-dimensional electron gas (inversion layer) at high magnetic fields and low temperatures.

We propose the innovative architecture of Superfluidity, a Horizon 2020 project, co-funded by the European Union.

An account is given of the development and design of a superheterodyne receiver for wave-lengths of 17 cm., the receiver incorporating a stabilised intermediate frequency amplifier.

Electrically-tunable membranes with controllable permeability have been proposed and experimentally demonstrated by combining nano- and micro-structured superhydrophobic surfaces with the phenomeno
