Atomic-force microscopy is similar to scanning-tunneling microscopy (STM) in that it can image surfaces at atomic-scale resolution. The difference between AFM and STM is that AFM does not require that the sample be an electrically conducting material. Like STM, it uses an atomically-sharp tip that is brought very close to the surface. The tip will feel a chemical attraction or repulsion and will move up or down on its supporting cantilever. This movement is monitored by an optical laser beam as the tip is moved laterally across the surface. As in STM, rastering the tip across the surface produces a topographic map of the surface. 3, record 1, English, - atomic%20force%20microscopy

La microscopie à force atomique(AFM :«atomic force microscopy») a été introduite en 1986 par G. Binnig, C. F. Quate et C. Gerber, comme une application du concept de microscope à effet tunnel(STM :«scanning tunneling microscope») [...] permettant l'étude de surfaces de matériaux isolants à l'échelle atomique. En combinant les principes du microscope à effet tunnel et du stylet profilométrique, les auteurs démontraient la possibilité d’imager, à l'air libre, la surface d’échantillons conducteurs ou non, avec une résolution latérale de 30 Å [angström] et une résolution verticale inférieure à 1 Å. La technique a, depuis lors, été adaptée à différents environnements tels que le vide, le milieu liquide, les basses températures, les champs magnétiques et aussi pour des applications en chimie ou en biologie. L'AFM est basée sur la mesure des forces entre un fin stylet et la surface étudiée. Le capteur de force est un ressort-lame(stylet) encastré à une extrémité et muni d’une pointe à l'autre extrémité; il est encore appelé «cantilever». Les forces d’interaction modifient la déflection ou la torsion statique ou oscillante du stylet. La mesure des déformations du «cantilever» dans les microscopes de force actuels s’effectue, le plus souvent, grâce à la déviation d’un faisceau lumineux(«diode laser») réfléchi par l'extrémité du stylet, méthode proposée dès 1988 par G. Meyer et N. Amer [...] La majorité des utilisateurs cherche à obtenir des formes ou des tailles caractéristiques de la surface; en balayant l'échantillon sous le «cantilever», on obtient l'image AFM recherchée. Mais on s’est très vite aperçu qu'il était possible avec le même instrument de proposer des situations originales de «physique au nanomètre». 5, record 1, French, - microscopie%20%C3%A0%20force%20atomique

The Fairchild C-119 Flying Boxcar (Navy designation R4Q) was an American military transport aircraft developed from the World War II Fairchild C-82 Packet, designed to carry cargo, personnel, litter patients, and mechanized equipment, and to drop cargo and troops by parachute. The first C-119 made its initial flight in November 1947, and by the time production ceased in 1955, more than 1,100 C-119s had been built. Its cargo-hauling ability and unusual appearance earned it the nickname "Flying Boxcar." 2, record 5, English, - Flying%20Boxcar

Le Fairchild C-119 «Flying Boxcar» est un avion de transport militaire américain conçu par Fairchild juste après la Seconde Guerre mondiale. Il se caractérise par un empennage bipoutre qui facilite le chargement et le déchargement. Sa capacité de transport impressionnante pour l’époque lui a valu son surnom de wagon volant ou «Flying Boxcar». De 1947 à 1955, plus de 1 100 exemplaires ont été construits, et utilisés par une dizaine de pays différents. 4, record 5, French, - Flying%20Boxcar

La configuration inhabituelle de cet aéronef bipoutre à nacelle centrale était en grande partie responsable de sa grande polyvalence pour le transport du fret. Deux portes en coquille s’ouvraient à l’arrière du fuselage pour laisser monter les petits véhicules. Les plus gros véhicules pouvaient être chargés et déchargés directement à partir de la soute. En vol, l’appareil pouvait larguer de grosses charges par l’arrière du fuselage. L’appareil était doté de petites portes latérales pour les parachutistes. 5, record 5, French, - Flying%20Boxcar

Density gradient centrifugation that is performed in an analytical ultracentrifuge and that permits the separation of macromolecules which differ only slightly in their densities. The technique involves centrifuging a concentrated salt solution that contains macromolecules, such as a cesium chloride solution, until the salt achieves its equilibrium distribution and thereby produces a density gradient in the cell; the macromolecules band in this density gradient at positions where their densities equal those of the gradient. 1, record 6, English, - density%20gradient%20sedimentation%20equilibrium

If in a gravitational field you support a rotating body in only a single point that is not the center of gravity (center of mass), there is a torque acting on it; if the rotation is fast enough to be associated with a substantial angular momentum and the change in angular momentum effected by that torque is comparatively small, you will observe precession.

Antivol à encre. L'étiquette antivol Colortag Midi est une nouvelle version de protection à encre, conçue pour empêcher les vols de vêtements et de chaussures dans le commerce de détail. [...] elle ne pèse que 10 g. [...] L'étiquette s’ouvre sur le devant, ce qui permet de la retirer plus rapidement et plus simplement à la caisse au moyen d’un dispositif spécial [...] La seule pièce placée à l'intérieur de Colortag Midi est la tête plate en nylon dont l'aiguille [...] verrouille la capsule d’encre sur le vêtement. Si l'on essaie de détacher de force l'étiquette, l'ampoule éclate et provoque une tache peu esthétique, le marquant de manière indélébile. [...] Ce dispositif de marquage ne nécessite pas de système d’alarme électronique. 1, record 11, French, - antivol%20%C3%A0%20encre
