Cool that they did it, and it's a nice first step, but I think the "cheap, abundant carbon!" angle of the story is misleading. Silicon is pretty damn abundant, and they're complaining about how expensive it is -- it's the processing that ma

why did he receive the "wanted to check in one more time" email? strange that he missed the initial email, but then received the second one.

this is awesome! simple and excellent idea, clean (and fast!) interface, and just well done overall. what are your plans for it?

super excited about this! we run a small organization that picks fruit growing on trees all over atlanta and donates it to local homeless shelters. we have many fruit picking events that are logistically tough to organize as the trees are a

it's not just capital intensive -- it's hugely time-intensive. i work for a nanotech company that has been trying to scale up its proprietary process in some form or another for 16 years. if i'm quick, i can run maybe a dozen experiments

hah, i'm not trying to take anything away from the rest of the city, cause it's a nice place, but i've made two separate road trips from atlanta (9 hrs each way) with 14 people just for the city museum.

totally OT, but you should visit st louis. it's home to the city museum ( http://www.citymuseum.org/site/ ), which is in fact the best place on earth.

Really? Sorry, not trying to be dense here, but from what I see in 506.b.2.ii: Nature of purchasers. Each purchaser who is not an accredited investor either alone or with his purchaser representative(s) has such knowledge and experience in

That's what I was wondering -- I've heard of the accredited investor barrier to entry, but it does seem like rule 506 would allow for investment from anyone.

How exactly is this bill different from just normal contract law? Is it not already super common for small businesses to solicit money from friends/family in exchange for a share of the new company?

oh man -- upvoted for the blog alone. that site is fascinating!

You're absolutely right -- there are some materials that would be very bad candidates here. I was pointing out only that this can be achieved with structure only (no additional hydrophobic/hydrophilic chemicals), and that it can be done wit

This effect could be achieved with a "standard" superhydrophobic coating (or superhydrophilic for oil-based condiments). Those can be easily done with something like a nanostructured silica film (without having to functionalize the coating

I think they also have a big Chicago warehouse. We get the same thing living in Atlanta, and it blew away a bunch of clients that were down here working on a project that we could just drive to McMaster and get something within an hour at w

A ton of them are recyclable in their pure state, but I get the impression that a lot of seemingly mundane plastic products these days are actually surprisingly complicated mixes/composite materials: I know something simple like a potato ch

Agreed. AlON is cool stuff, but sapphire / aluminum oxide is just as transparent. Maybe they can do a followup on transparent silicon next: this silicon dioxide stuff is super clear!

it is a complicated issue with such a wide variety of places that we pick from, and the uptake amount and destination within the plant varies by species and the pollutant in question. my understanding is that in general plants do not extens
