A Metal Version of Michelangelo’s David Made in Microscale by Additive Manufacturing

Probably one of the most famous art sculptures in the world recreated in an entirely new perspective: Thanks to significant advances in the development of the CERES additive micro-manufacturing system, Michelangelo’s David exists now in the size of a little ant.

Scientists Examine First-of-its-Kind “Living” Nanomaterial

A new kind of electron microscopy permits scientists to analyze nanoscale tubular materials when they are “alive” and forming liquids—a first-of-its-kind in the field. The new technique, known as variable temperature liquid-phase transmission electron microscopy (VT-LPTEM), was developed by multidisciplinary researchers at the University of Tennessee and Northwestern University, and allowed them to study these high-resolution dynamic, sensitive materials.
