Today we are machining some metal inside the scanning electron microscope! By creating a custom fixture, we can manually advance a carbide cutter and cut metal inside the vacuum chamber of my SEM.

Electrons are tiny and constantly in motion. How they behave in a crystal lattice determines key material properties: electrical conductivity, magnetism, or novel quantum effects. Anyone aiming to ...

Researchers have revealed how bacteria precisely control the genes that trigger cell division. The study shows that the MraZ protein, which normally forms a donut-shaped structure, must bend and ...

Mendocino County Public Health officials on Thursday issued a health alert to residents and health care providers about increased measles activity in California and urged people to check their ...
