TL;DR: The information technology foundation and principles for Smarter Cities™ are described, which enables the adaptation of city services to the behavior of the inhabitants, which permits the optimal use of the available physical infrastructure and resources.
Abstract: This paper describes the information technology (IT) foundation and principles for Smarter Cities™. Smarter Cities are urban areas that exploit operational data, such as that arising from traffic congestion, power consumption statistics, and public safety events, to optimize the operation of city services. The foundational concepts are instrumented, interconnected, and intelligent. Instrumented refers to sources of near-real-time real-world data from both physical and virtual sensors. Interconnected means the integration of those data into an enterprise computing platform and the communication of such information among the various city services. Intelligent refers to the inclusion of complex analytics, modeling, optimization, and visualization in the operational business processes to make better operational decisions. This approach enables the adaptation of city services to the behavior of the inhabitants, which permits the optimal use of the available physical infrastructure and resources, for example, in sensing and controlling consumption of energy and water, managing waste processing and transportation systems, and applying optimization to achieve new efficiencies among these resources. Additional roles exist in intelligent interaction between the city and its inhabitants and further contribute to operational efficiency while maintaining or enhancing quality of life.

TL;DR: Recent developments in scanning tunneling microscopy have made atom and molecular manipulation a reality; single atoms can be placed at selected positions and structures can be built to a particular design atom-by-atom.
Abstract: The prospect of manipulating matter on the atomic scale has fascinated scientists for decades. This fascination may be motivated by scientific and technological opportunities, or from a curiosity about the consequences of being able to place atoms in a particular location. Advances in scanning tunneling microscopy have made this prospect a reality; single atoms can be placed at selected positions and structures can be built to a particular design atom-by-atom. Atoms and molecules may be manipulated in a variety of ways by using the interactions present in the tunnel junction of a scanning tunneling microscope. Some of these recent developments and some of the possible uses of atomic and molecular manipulation as a tool for science are discussed.

TL;DR: In this paper, the basic properties of graphene plasmons are reviewed, including energy dispersion, localization and propagation, plasmon-phonon hybridization, lifetimes and damping pathways.
Abstract: In recent years, we have seen a rapid progress in the field of graphene plasmonics, motivated by graphene’s unique electrical and optical properties, tunability, long-lived collective excitation and its extreme light confinement. Here, we review the basic properties of graphene plasmons: their energy dispersion, localization and propagation, plasmon–phonon hybridization, lifetimes and damping pathways. The application space of graphene plasmonics lies in the technologically significant, but relatively unexploited terahertz to mid-infrared regime. We discuss emerging and potential applications, such as modulators, notch filters, polarizers, mid-infrared photodetectors, and mid-infrared vibrational spectroscopy, among many others.

TL;DR: In this paper, standing-wave patterns in the local density of states of the Cu(lll) surface using the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM) at low temperature were observed.
Abstract: ELECTRONS occupying surface states on the close-packed surfaces of noble metals form a two-dimensional nearly free electron gas1–3. These states can be probed using the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM), providing a unique opportunity to study the local properties of electrons in low-dimensional systems4. Here we report the direct observation of standing-wave patterns in the local density of states of the Cu(lll) surface using the STM at low temperature. These spatial oscillations are quantum-mechanical interference patterns caused by scattering of the two-dimensional electron gas off step edges and point defects. Analysis of the spatial oscillations gives an independent measure of the surface state dispersion, as well as insight into the interaction between surface-state electrons and scattering sites on the surface.
