3-D X-ray Images Of Nanoparticles

Article Date: 03 Dec 2006 - 8:00am (PST)
Subhash Risbud, professor of Chemical Engineering and Materials Science, John Miao from UCLA, and colleagues from Japan and Taiwan just published a paper in Physical Review Letters describing a new X-ray microscope that can look at nanomaterials in three dimensions. The device could be used for making better materials, for example for use in electronics, optics and biotechnology.

Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) has traditionally been used to study nanomaterials, but because electrons do not penetrate far into materials, the sample preparation procedure is usually complicated and destructive. Furthermore, TEM only gives two-dimensional images.

The new method shines a powerful X-ray source onto a nanoparticle and collects the X-rays scattered from the sample. Then computers construct a three-dimensional image from that data. The microscope can resolve details down to 17 nanometers, or a few atoms across.

Using the new microscope, Risbud and colleagues were able to take detailed three-dimensional pictures of a 'quantum dot' of gallium nitride, and also to study the structure inside it at a nanometer scale. Quantum dots are tiny particles that change their optical and electronic properties, depending on the particle size. Gallium nitride quantum dots could be used in blue-green lasers or flat-panel displays.

Article continues below and (thank you)

 
"The present work hence opens the door for comprehensive, nondestructive and quantitative 3D imaging of a wide range of samples including porous materials, semiconductors, quantum dots and wires, inorganic nanostructures, granular materials, biomaterials, and cellular structure," they wrote.

Tobacco Companies Admit Their Products Cause Cancer, But Not In Those Who Sue Them

Despite publicly admitting, to varying degrees, that cigarette smoking causes cancer, the industry has consistently dismissed these claims for people who have sued them, reveals an analysis of recent lawsuits, published in a supplement to Tobacco Control.

The authors looked at the opening and closing statements of the defence, witness statements, and depositions for 34 personal injury claims brought against major tobacco manufacturers between 1986 and 2003 in the US.

They used data archived in the Tobacco Deposition and Trial Testimony Archive (DATTA).

Each of the arguments put forward by the companies were categorised into seven different groups.

These included an absence of scientific proof that cigarette smoking causes cancer, denials that the plaintiff had lung cancer, or accepting that the plaintiff had lung cancer, but of a variety not caused by the particular product in question.

The defence also argued that the presence of other risk factors invalidated the claims that tobacco was solely responsible and that the plaintiff had exercised free will, despite knowing the risks to health of smoking.

The use of the 'no scientific proof to link cigarette smoking with cancer' defence declined as companies began to publicly admit that smoking causes disease, starting in the late 1990s.

But the defence of mitigating factors and the exercise of free will correspondingly increased over the same period.

The authors conclude: "The cigarette companies, through their public admissions and courtroom arguments, seem to be saying: 'Yes, smoking causes lung cancer, but not in the people who sue us.'"
