A family tree of the main characters of the Galactic Milieu series. The Galactic Milieu Series is a series of science fiction novels by Julian May.It is linked to her previously-published series, the Saga of Pliocene Exile; and through the fantastical device of time-travel, acts as both a prequel and a sequel to this earlier series.
Rubylith is used in many areas of graphic design, typically to produce masks for various printing techniques. For example it is often used to mask off areas of a design when using a photoresist to produce printing plates for offset lithography or gravure. It is also frequently used during screen-printing.
In crystallography, the diamond cubic crystal structure is a repeating pattern of 8 atoms that certain materials may adopt as they solidify. While the first known example was diamond , other elements in group 14 also adopt this structure, including α-tin , the semiconductors silicon and germanium , and silicon–germanium alloys in any proportion.
Diamond-like carbon (DLC) is a class of amorphous carbon material that displays some of the typical properties of diamond. DLC is usually applied as coatings to other materials that could benefit from such properties. [1] DLC exists in seven different forms. [2] All seven contain significant amounts of sp 3 hybridized carbon atoms.

Diamond is extremely strong owing to its crystal structure, known as diamond cubic, in which each carbon atom has four neighbors covalently bonded to it. Bulk cubic boron nitride (c-BN) is nearly as hard as diamond. Diamond reacts with some materials, such as steel, and c-BN wears less when cutting or abrading such material. [4]
The 23-year-old receiver was eventually put on a stretcher and taken off the field while wearing an oxygen mask. Here's the latest updates on DuBose. Grant DuBose injury updates.
It is one of the hardest known materials, along with various forms of diamond and other kinds of boron nitride. Borazon is a crystal created by heating equal quantities of boron and nitrogen at temperatures greater than 1800 °C (3300 °F) at 7 GPa (1 million lbf/in 2 ).
