New Microscope Shows Nano-Fibre Formation

Posted by Hemos on Monday February 9, 2004 @03:38AM from the from-the-ground-up dept.

Freshly Exhumed writes "An article, with mpeg and avi movies, in Chemical and Engineering News describes how researchers from Danish high-tech firm Haldor Topsoe and the Danish Technical University have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of nano-research. With the help of a specially designed microscope, researchers can now directly observe carbon nano-fibre formation. This is a prelude to actually controlling the growth of the fibres, which up until now has been very problematic. The new microscope's impact is expected to have tremendous significance for the development of future electronic components, energy extraction, and environmental technology."

The following five items have no place in a football game:

1) Helmets

3) Tackling off the ball
4) PICKING UP the ball
5) Americans
