hannel resonator (SMR), which has achieved a resolution of approximately 1 femtogram, an improvement of six orders of magnitude over a high-end commercial quartz crystal microbalance. See: http://www.avssymposium.org/paper.asp?abstractID=113.

FAILURE ON THE MICRO-SCALE

Microelectromechanical systems (MEMS), those tiny technological wonders with components as small as one ten-thousandth of a centimeter, may fail because of high humidity; correlations between corrosion rates and relative humidity. Why? See: (http://www.avssymposium.org/paper.asp?abstractID=1366).

BIGGEST LIGHT DOWNUNDER

The 3-GeV synchrotron in Melbourne, Australia is the largest scientific and technological user facility in the southern hemisphere See: http://www.avssymposium.org/paper.asp?abstractID=200.

EXCITONICS AND FUTURE ELECTRONICS

Excitons, composite entities consisting of an electron and the vacancy it left behind in a solid, may have useful in electronic applications. See: http://www.avssymposium.org/paper.asp?abstractID=85.

PICOMETER-AFM

Atomic force microscopy with a spatial resolution of 77 picometers. See: http://www.avssymposium.org/paper.asp?abstractID=235.
