Hair Under the Microscope

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

This Article is all about hair, we will learn useful facts about hair that we never know before. Take for example that male hair can grow faster than the female hair and our hair can show the diet we follow and it can tell our genetic make up. Our hair simply shows a lot of […]

Discovery could bring widespread uses for ‘nanocrystals’

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Scientists have made an unusual discovery that could open up various uses for the metal known as nanocrystals.  With the use of the high power microscope, the nanocrystals or   tiny crystals that are frequently harder, stronger and more wear resistant than the same materials in bulk form were discovered.
What the research engineers have found out […]

New Targets May Hit Bull’s-Eye for Chip Makers

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Scientists have discovered the bull’s-eye answer to the semiconductor industry’s search for more precise way to measure the relative positions of smaller tools squeezed by the millions onto silicon chips. They are likewise not expensive.
The industry  still continue to depend  on the use of the high-throughput optical equipment   to align level after level of complicated […]

New Insight into Origin of Superconductivity in Magnesium Diboride

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

New research has provided new insight into the superconductivity of magnesium diboride (MgB2).  Using the high power microscope, magnesium diboride was discovered to be an unusual superconductor.
It is important to better understand the origin of superconductivity.  Superconductivity is the ability of some materials to conduct electricity without losing energy.  Superconductivity will help scientists in improving […]

Electronic Properties of Materials Revealed by New Microscope

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

Scientists have invented a new design of a new thumb-sized microscope that operates something like a CD-player, using microwaves instead of visible light.  This minute but high power microscope is referred to as a Scanning Evanescent Microwave Probe or SEMP.  This high power microscope is a unique new apparatus that can be utilized to simultaneously […]
