CRAFT Method Gives 3D Printed Thermoplastics Spatial Control over Crystallinity - 3D Printing Industry

Researchers from Sandia National Laboratories, The University of Texas at Austin, Oregon State University, Arizona State University, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, and Savannah River National Laboratory have reported a lithographic 3D printing method that controls crystallinity inside a single thermoplastic part. Published in Science, the work describes a light-based process that gives microscopic control over […]

Another photo from my training that I found, this time not from organic chemistry but from inorganic chemistry! Working with the scanning electron microscope.

A scanning electron microscope (SEM) uses a focused electron beam instead of light to image surfaces at the nanometer scale.

Three types:

SEM: The electron beam scans the surface while detectors capture topography and material contrast.

TEM: Electrons transmit through thin samples, revealing atomic scale details inside the material.

STEM: A combination of both, enabling imaging and chemical analysis at the atomic level.

Measurements include microstructure, phase composition, grain size, crack patterns, often combined with mechanical or magnetic properties.

The task was to create a compact table for five samples including microstructure (optical microscope + SEM), hardness, crack resistance parameter, magnetic saturation (Tm³/kg), and coercive field (kA/m), a pure data summary without comments.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy takes place in the year 3165. That's around 900 years after the events in the original Star Trek timeline.

I'm struggling to understand how they haven't resolved the Sparking/Exploding Console Problem, along with the Burning Debris After Attack Problem, having had over 1100 years from our current timeline to research materials that are inflammable when your starship comes under attack by aliens intent on destroying it.

You can roast marshmallows over these bridge fires.
