The Evactron Decontaminator from XEI Scientific Cleans Carbon Contamination with Hydrogen
XEI Scientific Inc, maker of the popular EVACTRON® Plasma Cleaning System for electron microscopes and other vacuum chambers, reported the use hydrogen for cleaning carbon decontamination. Using the tool with hydrogen gas has produced atomic hydrogen and has been successful in removing hydrocarbon contamination from EUV mirrors. Cleaning rates were seen in the nanometers-per-minute range at distances of up to 30 cm from the remote plasma source.

Asylum Research Cypher™ Atomic Force Microscope Achieves Point Defect Atomic Resolution in Liquids
Asylum Research announced that its Cypher AFM is routinely achieving resolution of atomic-scale point defects in liquid. Although scanning tunneling
microscopes have routinely demonstrated point defect resolution since their invention, this gold standard of true atomic resolution has been more elusive in AFM. Te Cypher AFM’s high signal-to-noise and support for ultra-small probes have enabled this breakthrough in atomic-scale imaging.
