World's Most Advanced Microscope

Canadian center for Electron Microscopy has developed a new powerful microscope that is world's most powerful microscope till date. According to Gianluigi Botton, Director of Canadian center for Electron Microscopy, says that the power of this microscope can be thought as equivalent to "taking Hubble Telescope and aiming it at atomic level".
Titan 80-300 Cubed

This powerful microscope named Titan 80-300 Cubed was installed at the University early in the summer, and since then it has been put through its paces to achieve unprecedented resolution.
This microscope is so powerful that it can easily identify atoms, measure their chemical state and even probe the electrons that bind them together.
According to vice-president of Mc Master, Mr. Elbestawi this microscope will make McMaster a hub for a fast growing field.

Really Impressive Microscope

A group of international scientists who visited McMaster were really impressed by the amazing capabilities of this microscope. This microscope can help scientist to discover new things in biological and physical sciencesDean of Engineering David Wilkinson sees the microscope through another lens. Titan's ability can probe structure of solid materials to the atomic level and this will have an amazing impact on development and commercialization of new technologies from biomedical devices to water quality monitoring and improved energy storage systems.

The Cost of Microscope

This microscope has been build in Netherlands by FEI Company with a cost of about $15 million. This microscope can help to examine everyday products with its Nano details that can improve the efficiency of these products.

What This Microscope Can Do?

This microscope can be used to produce more efficient lighting and better solar cells, to study proteins and drug-delivery materials to target cancers. It will assess atmospheric particulates, and help create lighter and stronger automotive materials, more effective cosmetics, and higher density memory storage for faster electronic and telecommunication devices.

Funding the microscope

Funding for the microscope instrumentation was provided by the Canada Foundation for Innovation, the Ontario Innovation Trust, the Ministry of Research and Innovation of Ontario and the Ontario Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, through a partnership with FEI and McMaster University.

The Proof of Life at Titan

In a recent invention it has been found that there is some electrical activity at TITAN, the largest moon of Saturn. After that research, it is a hot matter of discussion in scientific community, whether there is life on Saturn or not.

Previous Beliefs and researches

According to all previous beliefs. It is almost impossible for Life to sustain on Saturn due to its extremely low temperature that is -350 degrees Celsius.

Huygens Mission of NASA

In 2005 Huygens spacecraft was send to study the clouds on Titan. It was the first spacecraft to go there. As soon as Huygens entered in the environment of Titan, force of fast winds turned it to 30 degrees. After this accident, it was not possible for Huygens to find the electrical resonance on Saturn.

Study by Juan Antonio Morente

Prof Juan Antonio Morente of University of Granada, Spain studied data collected by Huygens and found that there are clues that there may be Natural Electrical Field on the surface of Titan. This energy is same as, which started chemical energy on Earth that ultimately lead to the starting of life.

Supported Reasons for this research It has been found out that the processes that started life on earth are possible at many places in Universe out of which Saturn is one. It has been confirmed that there is a big lake of hydrocarbons on Saturn. So after earth Saturn is the second place with so much liquid present openly. In these situation if lighting occurs at Saturn, then it may lead to the birth of Atoms, which are known as the starting phase of life.
