Soft‐X‐Ray Microscopes

Malcolm Howells, Janos Kirz, David Sayre, and Günter Schmahl
OpenURL
Show Topic
Major developments in sources, optics and detectors for soft x rays promise to help biologists realize the longstanding goal of high‐resolution imaging of biological materials in their natural, even living, state.

Acoustic Microscopy

Calvin F. Quate
OpenURL
Show Topic
Electroacoustical transducers and acoustic lenses work at megahertz frequencies as “miniature sonar systems,” forming high‐resolution images that show properties not seen in optical micrographs.

Natural Engines

John Wheatley and Arthur Cox
OpenURL
Show Topic
‘Taconis oscillations,’ the oscillations of some variable stars, and a novel form of engine are all based on cycles that involve an intrinsically irreversible process and a broken thermodynamic symmetry.
