Utter nonsense. And everybody got paid for doing this.
An industrial grade picosecond laser is $150k. It has so little throughput that it must be used only for very high value products.
In fairness, did anyone notice a finding in this paper that might lead to a cost-effective process by a different technology?
Was this the April 1 issue?
- findalex 4y agoThis is how general research works. For better or worse.
- amelius 4y agoAlso, they didn't scientifically evaluate the taste of the coffee using a test-panel? Disappointed.
- xbar 4y agoUtter nonsense is an exaggeration. Is this good, important, or foundational science? I do not think so, but there may actually be practical applications for rapid production of high-caffeine cold brew coffee. Do you find the method fraudulent or were the outcomes poorly selected or measured?
- ajot 4y agoMaybe not even coffee. Maybe this can extrapolate to other liquid extraction methods from ground solids, if it can help reduce heating, or time for processes that are nowadays done at room temperature. Think minerals, beer, soy-sauce; economies of scale could afford this type of technology.
- aj7 4y agoI think you are right that I was immoderate.
- bbatha 4y agoThe paper proposes this as an industrial process to reduce waste and brew time.
