TL;DR: The nanoindentation technique was used to characterize the variation in the elastic modulus and hardness of human lumbar vertebral cortical and trabecular bone, and it was difficult to differentiate by morphology cortical from trabECular bone in the human lumbsar vertebrae.

TL;DR: In this paper, the stopping power for a given element or compound of interest can easily be performed and used in the CASINO program and the resulting effect of using these stopping powers in Monte Carlo simulations is generally to increase the backscattering coefficient.

TL;DR: In this article, the bundling and interdigitation of thiolate molecules adsorbed on Ag nanocrystals are observed using the chemical imaging technique in energy-filtered transmission electron microscopy (EF-TEM) at a resolution of ∼2 nm.

TL;DR: In this paper, phase transformations in a creep-rupture tested specimen of nickel-base superalloy 740 were characterized by electron microscopy, showing that during creep at 816 °C, specimens developed chromium carbides and a complex silicide, the fcc G-phase along grain boundaries, and an hcp eta phase, having a Widmanstatten pattern of laths, across grains and grain boundaries.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the viability of Fe-rich austenitic stainless alloys strengthened by intermetallic phases and found that the addition of Si helped to refine and stabilize the size of particles, resulting in finer and denser Fe{sub 2}Nb dispersion than that in the base alloy.
