Abstract Solid sampling at the sub-milligram and milligram scale remains a major bottleneck for high-throughput chemistry or material sciences, as existing approaches rely on manual handling or slow deterministic microsampling that do not readily scale. Here we present STORMS, an automated STOchastic Robotic MicroSampling system that enables fast, reliable and parallel sampling of solid materials at sub-milligram and milligram masses.

Thomas Vanek played a horrible part in the San Jose Sharks game winning goal on Thursday night, but he definitely was not the only guilty party on the ice for the Minnesota Wild. As the Minnesota Wild have learned this season, having defenseman jump into the rush is a great way to create offense. Not only does the defenseman usually add a numbers advantage to the rush, but often times it creates confusion for players trying to identify their man in defensive coverage.
