  • Call for Papers | 2022 MRS Spring Meeting
    Symposium CH01: Frontiers of In Situ Materials Characterization—From New Instrumentation and Method to Imaging Aided Materials Design Advancement in synchrotron X-ray techniques, microscopy and spectroscopy has extended the characterization capability to study the structure, phonon, spin, and electromagnetic field of materials with improved temporal and spatial resolution. This symposium will cover recent advances of in situ imaging techniques and highlight progress in materials design, synthesis, and engineering in catalysts and devices aided by insights gained from the state-of-the-art real-time materials characterization. This program will bring together works with an emphasis on developing and applying new methods in X-ray or electron diffraction, scanning probe microscopy, and other techniques to in situ studies of the dynamics in materials, such as the structural and chemical evolution of energy materials and catalysts, and the electronic structure of semiconductor and functional oxides. Additionally, this symposium will focus on works in designing, synthesizing new materials and optimizing materials properties by utilizing the insights on mechanisms of materials processes at different length or time scales revealed by in situ techniques. Emerging big data analysis approaches and method development presenting opportunities to aid materials design are welcomed. Discussion on experimental strategies, data analysis, and conceptual works showcasing how new in situ tools can probe exotic and critical processes in materials, such as charge and heat transfer, bonding, transport of molecule and ions, are encouraged. The symposium will identify new directions of in situ research, facilitate the application of new techniques to in situ liquid and gas phase microscopy and spectroscopy, and bridge mechanistic study with practical synthesis and engineering for materials with a broad range of applications.

  • Volcano House Register Volume 2
    Haw VolcanoesNa al Park National Service Park The Volcano House Register, Volume 2 1873-1885 In this volume, on almost every page, there are entries in which a writer merely gives his name, date, times of arrival and departure, and destination. In the other volumes, whenever this occurs, I mention that I omitted such an entry, and give the page number. But because there are so many such entries in this particular volume, it would become tedious both for the transcriber to record and the reader to read every case of such omission; so I am doing it once only, here at the beginning of the document. On the page facing page 1, there is a rough table of contents, listing the page numbers of various maps and signatures of Kalakaua, Louis Pasteur, etc. In addition, there is a poem: Index Some good Some mediocre And much rotten For the Lord's sake Don't write unless You have somethingHawai'i Volcanoes Park To say & can say it. National Park Ser no signature and no date Between 11 and 12 last night Mokuaweoweo started action again. The wind has been from the southward, and the whole day a dense body of smoke has been passing over Kilauea and across Puna, off to sea. Evidently a much greater portion of the crater is in action than in the eruption of August last. Had a heavy thunder shower about dusk with hail and this evening there is considerable lightning. Weather hazy and top of mountain seldom visible. Kilauea quite active but no lava flowing.

  • Professor Sir Colin Humphreys CBE Freng FRS
    Monash Centre for Electron Microscopy 10th Anniversary Lecture Professor Sir Colin Humphreys CBE FREng FRS Chair: Dr Alan Finkel AO FAA FTSE Thursday 22 November 2018 Lecture Theatre G81 Learning and Teaching Building 5.30pm 19 Ancora Imparo Way Clayton Campus How electron microscopy can help to save energy, save lives, create jobs and improve our health Electron microscopes can not only image single atoms, they can identify what the atom is and even determine how it is bonded to other atoms. This talk will give some case studies from Colin Humphreys’ research group going from basic science through to commercial applications, featuring two of the most important new materials: gallium nitride and graphene. Electron microscopy has played a key role in the rapid advance of gallium nitride (GaN) LED lighting. LED lighting will soon become the dominant form of lighting worldwide, when it will save 10-15% of all electricity and up to 15% of carbon emissions from power stations. Electron microscopy has enabled us to understand the complex basic science of GaN LEDs, improve their efficiency and reduce their cost. The Humphreys’ group has been very involved in this. LEDs based on their patented research are being manufactured in the UK, creating 150 jobs. Next generation GaN LEDs will have major health benefits and future UV LEDs could save millions of lives through purifying water. Graphene has been hailed as the “wonder material”, stronger than steel, more conductive than copper, transparent and flexible. However, so far no graphene electronic devices have been manufactured because of the lack of good-quality large-area graphene.

  • Graphene's 3D Nature
    Graphene's 3D Nature Contrary to what is believed, monolayer graphene (a sheet of carbon just one atomic layer thick) has 3D mechanical properties and they can now be properly measured and meaningfully described thanks to high-pressure Raman spectra measurements on the material. [47] The team has turned graphene oxide (GO) into a soft, moldable and kneadable play dough that can be shaped and reshaped into free-standing, three-dimensional structures. [46] A team of researchers based at The University of Manchester have found a low cost method for producing graphene printed electronics, which significantly speeds up and reduces the cost of conductive graphene inks. [45] Graphene-based computer components that can deal in terahertz “could be used, not in a normal Macintosh or PC, but perhaps in very advanced computers with high processing rates,” Ozaki says. This 2-D material could also be used to make extremely high-speed nanodevices, he adds. [44] Printed electronics use standard printing techniques to manufacture electronic devices on different substrates like glass, plastic films, and paper. [43] A tiny laser comprising an array of nanoscale semiconductor cylinders (see image) has been made by an all-A*STAR team. [42] A new instrument lets researchers use multiple laser beams and a microscope to trap and move cells and then analyze them in real-time with a sensitive analysis technique known as Raman spectroscopy. [41] All systems are go for launch in November of NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) mission, which will use high-resolution laser ranging to study Earth's forests and topography from the International Space Station (ISS).

  • Skins and the Impossibility of Youth Television
    Skins and the impossibility of youth television David Buckingham This essay is part of a larger project, Growing Up Modern: Childhood, Youth and Popular Culture Since 1945. More information about the project, and illustrated versions of all the essays, can be found at: https://davidbuckingham.net/growing-up-modern/. In 2007, the UK media regulator Ofcom published an extensive report entitled The Future of Children’s Television Programming. The report was partly a response to growing concerns about the threats to specialized children’s programming posed by the advent of a more commercialized and globalised media environment. However, it argued that the impact of these developments was crucially dependent upon the age group. Programming for pre-schoolers and younger children was found to be faring fairly well, although there were concerns about the range and diversity of programming, and the fate of UK domestic production in particular. Nevertheless, the impact was more significant for older children, and particularly for teenagers. The report was not optimistic about the future provision of specialist programming for these age groups, particularly in the case of factual programmes and UK- produced original drama. The problems here were partly a consequence of the changing economy of the television industry, and partly of the changing behaviour of young people themselves. As the report suggested, there has always been less specialized television provided for younger teenagers, who tend to watch what it called ‘aspirational’ programming aimed at adults. Particularly in a globalised media market, there may be little money to be made in targeting this age group specifically.

    FEATURES Science and the Miracles of Exodus Colin Humphreys, Department of Materials Science & Metallurgy, University of Cambridge- Cambridge, UK id Moses and the Israelites really cross the Red Sea? If so, can physics explain how? Is it physically possible to obtain water Dfrom a rock? Is there a scientific mechanism underlying the crossing of the River Jordan? How can a mountain like Mount Sinai emit a sound like a trumpet? At first sight, these miracles in the biblical story of the Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt over 3000 years ago seem incredible. Because they appear to violate the normal running of the natural world, many scientists are scep­ tical that they could have happened. However, is it true that the well-known miracles mentioned above violate the normal run­ ning of the natural world? In this article I will take a closer look at some of the Exodus miracles through the eyes of a scientist. Water from a rock The miracle of obtaining water from a rock is described in just two verses in the Old Testament book of Exodus: “The Lord said to Moses ‘Take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. I will stand there before you by the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it for the people to drink.’ So Moses did this in the sign of the elders of Israel” (Exodus 17:5-6). What a curious incident! Obtaining water from a rock would seem to be like obtaining blood from a stone: impossible.
