Reimagining electron microscopy: Bringing high-end resolution to lower-cost microscopes

Researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign have shown for the first time that expensive aberration-corrected microscopes are no longer required to achieve record-breaking microscopic resolution. The field of microscopy is in the middle of a great revolution. Since the 1800s and the invention of the compound light microscope, there have only been a few major jumps in resolution to see different length scales: from bacteria and cells, to viruses and proteins, and even down to single atoms. Generally, as resolution has been making these incredible jumps, so has the price of the microscopes used to achieve that resolution. Such hefty price tags severely limit the accessibility of these instruments. The current jump in resolution comes from a new technique called electron ptychography—a method that uses computation to boost the resolution of electron microscopes—which has taken the field by storm in the last 5-6 years.

Nothing is everything: How hidden emptiness can define the usefulness of filtration materials

Voids, or empty spaces, exist within matter at all scales, from the astronomical to the microscopic. In a new study, researchers used high-powered microscopy and mathematical theory to unveil nanoscale voids in three dimensions. This advancement is poised to improve the performance of many materials used in the home and in the chemical, energy and medical industries—particularly in the area of filtration. Magnification of common filters used in the home shows that, while they look like a solid piece of material with uniform holes, they are actually composed of millions of randomly oriented tiny voids that allow small particles to pass through. In some industrial applications, like water and solvent filtration, paper-thin membranes make up the barriers that separate fluids and particles. "The materials science community has been aware of these randomly oriented nanoscale voids within filter membranes for a while," said Falon Kalutantirige, a University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign graduate student.

Felony hate crimes charges have been filed against a University of Illinois-Urbana Champaign (UIUC) student who confessed to throwing a rock at Jewish students during an anti-Israel protest outside the campus’ Hillel center in April, according to a report from The News Gazette.

“The State Attorney’s filing sends a clear message that violence against Jews, or any other minority for that matter, is unacceptable and unwelcome in Champaign-Urbana,” Illini Hillel Executive Director Erez Cohen told The Algemeiner Thursday morning.

If convicted, the student faces a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison, The News-Gazette reported.

Members of the university’s Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) chapter had stopped at the Illini Hillel Cohen Center during what the group advertised as an “emergency” protest through campus over clashes between Palestinian rioters and Israeli police at Jerusalem’s Al-Aqsa mosque.

One student told local CBS affiliate WCIA 3 that SJP UIUC chose the Jewish center because “they obviously have a very direct connection to Israel and that’s why we’re targeting that area in specific.”

Pinball Craze (1975)

Four clues give him away. He's the guy who asks for four quarters instead of a dollar bill, walks into Dooley's and doesn't head for the bar, and brags of his sensitive thumb and index finger. And when the quarter thunks and the pin is pulled back, the genuine pinball wizard goes into ecstasy.

Been reading A LOT about pinball recently. Found this on the Internet Archive from The Illio a student magazine from University of Illinois
