...Times decided to place the artifacts in a structure resembling a giant fortune cookie. For preservation purposes, the artifacts will be suspended in thermal-gel insulation and the container will be filled with argon gas. Custody will be given to the Museum of Natural History...
Since neither argon gas nor thermal-gel is available for our use, I asked some students how they proposed to insure that the Class of 3000 would receive our gift...
Laser technology is changing so fast that even veterans of the field can hardly keep up. When he developed the first argon lasers back in the 1970s, says cosmetic-laser pioneer Dr. Richard Fitzpatrick, "we had one laser for everything. Now I have 25 lasers." Soon, he predicts, lasers will reach beneath the skin without causing any surface wound at all, to rejuvenate the skin's structure and reverse sun damage. In five years we may even have home lasers for facials. Fitzpatrick's partner, cosmetic-laser surgeon Mitch Goldman, predicts that in 10 years, you'll be able...
...been pulled away--red taffeta, sewn by Princess Clotilde of Savoy in 1868--the fragile, scarred length of ancient linen will be smoothed into place in a metal-and-glass display case built precisely to its dimensions. The case's air will be drawn out and replaced with argon, an inert gas. Then the case will be hung horizontally at the intersection of the Turin Cathedral's nave and transept, near the center of the cathedral's built-in cross. And thus six days after Easter, spectators will be allowed to view an image that has grown fainter with each...
...involved in atom lithography through standing wave quenching, working with metastable argon. This process involves selectively removing the internal energy of the atoms necessary to pattern the resist layer on top of the silicon prior to etching. It requires much less laser power and allows more flexibility than former experiments...
