distribution. http://www.time.com/time/reports/v21/tech/index_food.html

none yet in the x-ray band. A compact & powerful source of coherent x rays

In a step toward that goal, a team has detected high frequency coherent
light generated by a new process. http://focus.aps.org/v5/st25.html

was such a good idea to send him into a rough neighborhood wearing
