Today we’re looking at an ion milling machine. This instrument accelerates argon particles to high velocities and then slam them into your sample, acting as an atomic sandblaster. The sample is slowly etched due to the transfer of kinetic energy from the argon gas molecules. It can etch literally any material, even diamond!

Don’t think it’ll replace using diamonds to cut diamonds- but besides that it’s pretty nifty
