From Firearms to Fighter Jets: Inside this Month's VT&C
https://t.co/3UxQgg0Ch6
Featured: Defense systems increasingly fail at the surface, not in the bulk. This article shows how DLC and HiPIMS-deposited nitrides give firearms, precision weapons, and aircraft the wear, heat, and adhesion performance the coating name alone can't guarantee.

Inside the May Issue: Beyond Moore's Law, Non-Destructive Profiling, and Better Bio-Coatings

https://t.co/bFERhRJ7hF

Characterization Feature: Traditional XPS probes just 5–10 nm into a surface, and destructive depth profiling damages the sample. This article describes a new three-color X-ray source approach — combining Al Kα, and higher-energy HAXPES sources — that allows parallel, non-destructive depth profiling at multiple information depths simultaneously, without touching the sample.
