Electron microscopy enters the picometer scale
Jülich scientists have succeeded in precisely measuring atomic spacings down to a few picometres using new methods in ultrahigh-resolution electron microscopy.
With the aid of new methods in electron optics, researchers were able to microscopically measure atomic displacements precisely to a few picometres. A picometre corresponds to a billionth of a millimetre (a trillionth of a metre) a distance that is one hundred times smaller than the diameter of an atom.
Knut Urban explains:
"This is the beginning of a new physics of materials which enables researchers to determine physical parameters and properties in the nano range through highly precise measurements of the atomic spacings. This will also provide clues on how these properties may be manipulated in order to gain new functions and better functional performance."

Art, Porn or Censorship ??
This is the cover of Art Monthly Australia magazine.
(Note: the use of a 'black box' to cover the child)
http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23973484-2,00.html
This is what has been cut from the original cover of Art Monthly Australia.
Note: the child is now much more prominent in the image, much of the painting has been cut away and the title of the magazine (which includes the word 'Art') has been removed.
This image was shown in some parts of the mainstream media.

Random Man wonders if Kevin Rudd even saw the full image before he judged it ??
