...unique as the fingerprints they highlight. These works build on Schneider’s previous experiences at the intersection of science and art, in which he produced extremely detailed portraits of parts of his own body, including a hair, his teeth and a sperm, using methods ranging from electron microscopy to molecular crystallography...
According to their promoters, ion-beam (also known as electron-beam) devices are fairly safe and relatively fast, killing anthrax spores in a matter of minutes. Independent experts question whether they can do the job that quickly. The gamma rays in the competing systems penetrate more deeply into packages and piles of envelopes, but they can take hours to destroy any spores that may be in them. Also, each gamma-ray machine uses a small quantity of radioactive cobalt 60 as its energy source, posing safety and disposal risks that could make an already nervous public even more...
Collaborating with researchers at Stanford University and the Weizmann Institute in Israel, Wagner, whose studio is in San Francisco, began using magnetic-resonance-imaging (MRI) machines and electron microscopes as cameras, magnifying or looking inside objects as prosaic as corncobs and as elusive as dividing cells. The resulting work, collected in the show "Cross Sections" (beginning Nov. 3 at the San Jose Museum of Art), takes the typical still life and turns it, sometimes literally, inside...
...fine structure constant is such a fundamental value that almost everything else is built on it, from the speed of light to the size of an electron. It?s supposed to be what makes the universe what...
Current top-down methods of chip production use electron beam lithography, an expensive process that involves etching silicon into smaller and smaller pieces. Such methods will eventually hit a limit at which further miniaturization would entail extreme expense...
