Esta imagem,obtida através de um microscópio de corrente de tunelamento mostra de forma clara os átomos na composição de uma superfície de ouro (100). A reconstrução da superfície leva a que os átomos superficiais se desviem do padrão da estrutura cristalina e se disponham em colunas com vários átomos de largura e com sulcos entre si.
English: Image of surface reconstruction on a clean Gold (Au(100)) surface, as visualized using scanning tunneling microscopy. The individual atoms composing the material are visible. Surface reconstruction causes the surface atoms to deviate from the bulk crystal structure, and arrange in columns several atoms wide with regularly spaced pits between them. Technical details: Atomically resolved STM image of clean Au(100). This image is made with an Omicron Low Temperature STM and RHK Technology electronics by Erwin Rossen, Eindhoven University of Technology, 2006. Parameters: p<1e-11 mbar, T is 77 K, I_setpoint is 6 nA, V_bias is 1 mV, Au(100) surface is Ar sputtered (1,5 kV, 2uA, 30 minutes) and annealed (500°C, 30 minutes).

All EU member states have signed the European Convention, and the treaties require the EU to join.[113] However, the EU's Court of Justice has delayed formal accession.[114]

Versione arcade di The Typing of the Dead, un particolare videogioco in stile survival horror, in cui, a differenza dello sparatutto The House of the Dead 2 (SEGA), dallo sviluppo e dalla storia praticamente uguale, il giocatore dovrà, invece di sparare ai nemici, scrivere frasi nel minor tempo possibile con la corrispettiva tastiera.
Arcades throughout Tokyo had actual typing games with full-on keyboards, this one and a Lupin III-themed game. I didn't try Typing of the Dead because I already played it at home, but I have to say I rocked at the Lupin one -- I was doing great until it got to the point where you have to know the Japanese names for the characters on the show.

Red Team vs. Blue Team at Rod Laver Arena, during a quickly organized "Hit for Haiti" charity event held just prior to the 2010 Australian Open. Thought up by Roger Federer, the players were organized into two four-person teams (named for the colors in the Haitian flag), allowed substitutions, and wore microphones during play. Proceeds from the event were to go towards helping with the relief effort of the 2010 Haiti earthquake. The Red Team (far court) was made up of Federer, Serena Williams, Lleyton Hewitt, and Samantha Stosur. The Blue Team (near court) was Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Andy Roddick, and Kim Clijsters. All except Hewitt and Roddick are playing in this photo.
