  • It's mindblowing how ridiculously easy it was to scribble on the surface of a snowflake on a spontaneous whim.

  • Man, that year where it snowed everywhere in the UK, apart from where I live. Gutted.

  • @ArtypNk They do something similar, it's called chemotherapy.

    You basically kill a tumor by sending high energy particles (radiation) in the path of the tumor. Unfortunately, this has the side effect of also killing cells that benefit your body, like white blood cells that help your immune system. This is where the risks of chemo come from.

  • @physicsbugga

    you wont ruin the vacuum in the chamber because the ice is on a cryo stage, the stage is sitting at -130 degrees which is below the point of sublimation so water does not leave the surface of the stage. Along with this there is an anti-contaminator which is at -192 Degrees close to the pole piece of the SEM to attract any water molecules that may be in the vacuum thus meaning that the stage in the system is not the coldest point and will not frost up.
