Re: "Neat" Pictures

 

Carrier flight decks are coated with a special paint called "non-skid". "Non-skid" does what it says: Keeps people and equipment from skidding or sliding. It has a consistancy like a very low grit sandpaper. I wouldn't want to slide on it.

 

Oh, that's what it's SUPPOSED to do, all right. I don't know what it was like on your ship, but they stuff they had on the Carl Vinson would get worn down from people walking on it until the tops of the high spots were worn smooth, and with a little water and/or JP5 on it, wow, it was slippery. Looked like it still would have taken your skin off to the bone, though.

Somewhere a Google Analytics Team is staring at that and wondering if perhaps the internet should be turned down a notch or three.

 

I expect that there have been google searches I Really Do Not Want To Know About, in any way, shape, or form. And I am not looking forward to those becoming suggested search phrases, either.

Not sure if this was posted, but I find it neat.

 

That is very cool. The only problem is that most of the pictures (even the ones that are images of the actual element) are meaningless or so similar that you can't tell them apart.

This is a really tiny Enterprise. This image won the prize for Best Ion MicroGraph in the 47th International Conference on Electron, Ion and Photon Beam Technology and Nanofabrication Bizarre/Beautiful Micrograph Contest. It was created and recorded by Takayuki Hoshino and Shinji Matsui of the Himeji Institute of Technology.

 

The space ship Enterprise NCC-1701D of Star Trek was fabricated in one-billionth scale by 30 kV Ga+ focused-ion- beam CVD using phenanthrene gas. Length 8.8 µm.
