In 2006, a materials science professor received a phone call that would consume the next five years of his life. Someone told him the pyramids weren't carved stone. They were poured. Like concrete. He laughed. Said he'd disprove it in two hours with an electron microscope. 1,000 samples later, he stopped laughing. What he found inside the pyramid blocks: → Nanoscale silicon spheres that only form through chemical reactions → Calcium and magnesium ratios that don't exist in any Egyptian quarry →

Tomviz could do for nanoparticles what Photoshop did for photos. Anyone can access the software and datasets so scientists can develop and share their own algorithms to better understand nanoscale materials. Read more http://umicheng.in/2oVJ8fo | Michigan Engineering
