The South Pole Traverse crosses the polar plateau in December 2008. Using tractors and sleds to transport material and fuel overland has returned in full force, with the NSF purchasing an entire second train of vehicles and equipment with stimulus money.

Substructures in protoplanetary disks, such as (a) spiral arms and (b) gaps, can inform the location and mass of protoplanets that shape these substructures (marked with arrows here; e.g., Dong & Fung 2017; Bae et al. 2018). Note: the panels displayed here use simulated data provided by Dong et al. (2015) for (a) and Bi & Lin (2024) for (b). -- astro-ph.IM

(a) TEM image (mass thickness contrast) of a FIB-prepared cross section showing a deposited porous magnesium silicate layer on a silicon wafer. The layer has a variable thickness and a very high porosity. The thickness of the prepared TEM sample in beam direction is about 100 nm. The metal coating is protecting the surface during the FIB sample preparation. (b) and (c) Magnified view of the porous and foam-like structure of the film. Brighter areas represent less solid material in the beam direction. Areas with pore diameters over 100 nm are scarce, and most pores measure less than 20 nm. -- Heriot-Watt University
