Mar 3, 2011 - you wont ruin the vacuum in the chamber because the ice is on a cryo stage, the stage is sitting at -130 degrees which is below the point of sublimation so water does not leave the surface of the stage. Along with this there is an anti-contaminator which is at -192 Degrees close to the pole piece of the SEM to attract any water molecules that may be in the vacuum thus meaning that the stage in the system is not the coldest point and will not frost up.

Feb 14, 2012 - They do something similar, it's called chemotherapy.You basically kill a tumor by sending high energy particles (radiation) in the path of the tumor. Unfortunately, this has the side effect of also killing cells that benefit your body, like white blood cells that help your immune system. This is where the risks of chemo come from.

Feb 23, 2012 - It's mindblowing how ridiculously easy it was to scribble on the surface of a snowflake on a spontaneous whim.

Mar 12, 2012 - You guys are cooling snow with liquid nitrogen? XD

Mar 18, 2012 - Waw. That was pretty neat! I had no idea it was so easy to shape something in such a small scale.

Apr 5, 2012 - This is radiotherapy. Chemotherapy uses strong chemical drugs that, like radiations, kill cells that reproduce rapidly. Chemotherapy affect the whole body, while radiotherapy is able to be focussed, but will still do damage to everything in it's path.The treat with ions too. Radio-therapy use X-rays, whereas ion/protons therapy use protons beam and is more effective than x-rays. Now they want to use anti-protons as well.

nawedy Says:

May 8, 2012 - Good point! But once you've got it, it's pretty fast.

May 23, 2012 - how come you can see a human hair but you cant see the tiny structure of indicidual snow crystals?
