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.

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. Saying goodbye to trusted and long-time colleagues is never easy, in any walk of life. My mind drifts back to the title of the riveting final episode in 1983 of “M A S H” – “Goodbye, Farewell and Amen.” As a young adult, I was among those who believed the show about life during the Korean War had lost some of its luster by its later seasons. Yet that unforgettable last episode reminded me and all of us how strong the bonds had been among the characters and between the viewers and the characters. Its uniquely crafted narrative brought the best of all those earlier episodes back into view, enabling us to cherish the remarkable memories and mourn in a meaningful way the show’s end. So it is with saying goodbye to these four colleagues: Marcia Greenwood , the New York News Publishers Association features-writing award winner in 2021 and a reporter who’s known what Rochesterians

How Long is “A Country Mile”?

What’s the origin of the phrase a country mile? Vida from Rochester, New York, says her husband often uses it, as in “go about a country mile and then make a left.” The expression goes back at least 300 years in the United Kingdom and has long meant “an approximate distance.” Bumpy, unpaved, curvy roads out in the countryside may make a real mile feel much longer. Variants include Irish mile, Welsh mile, Scots mile, and Kentish mile. The idiom often turns up in baseball, where announcers exaggerate the distance by saying a ball was hit a country mile or a pitch missed by a country mile. The word mile itself comes from Latin for “one thousand,” suggesting the measure of “a thousand paces.” This is part of a complete episode.
