Ductile‐Regime Machining of Germanium and Silicon
TL;DR: In this article, a critical-depth parameter was used to measure the transition from plastic flow to fracture along the tool nose, which can be used to provide physical insight into the effect of various machining parameters such as tool rake angle or tool clearnace angle.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on a technology development program designed to advance four metrics that measure the capability of an x-ray mirror technology: (1) angular resolution, (2) mass per unit photon collecting area, (3) volume per unit photometric collecting area and (4) production cost per unit photons collecting area.
