A farewell and amen to 4 remarkable journalists

Dear D&C Subscribers -- The Democrat and Chronicle said farewell this autumn to four fabulous journalists, three of whom have retired from the business and one of whom has left for a job in which she will very much be partnering with the D&C.

A tiny poke gives molybdenum a new structure

Researchers at the University of Rochester and Technion–Israel Institute of Technology accidentally discovered a new way to rearrange the internal structure of molybdenum—an extremely heat-resistant metal—at room temperature. Molybdenum is typically used to reinforce nuclear reactors, jet engine turbine blades, and rocket nozzles because it doesn’t melt until it is heated to more than 2,600 degrees Celsius. Controlling its atomic structure at room temperature could open the door to more applications, including next-generation semiconductors.
