Even if this is sometimes true, when you adopt this viewpoint your work turns to crap. Hire good people, and if you can't hire good people, do something more interesting.

It happens to have a good level of stickiness. People also use blue nitto tape, and tape used for fixturing on dicing saws. I think basically anything could work, it's just that people use what's lying around.

There’s a few reasons for this. There’s a few ways to make graphene. You can use CVD or you can use mechanical exfoliation. Mechanical exfoliation requires scotch tape and scales to maybe a flake per hour per grad student. CVD is quite scal

These novel new superconductors are generally considered to be "bad superconductors." They have really low critical fields.

They're two materials that 2D materials people commonly stock. BN is thought to be a pretty innocuous insulator. Might as well be the lettuce of the sandwich. However, it's now showing that it has effects on the nearby layers, so

No, but you also shouldn't romanticize Bell Labs _too_ much. It was not exactly a fun place to work. You got a 2 year postdoc and then you were out, and those two years were absolutely brutal. Its existence was effectively an accountin

Thoroughly unhelpful response. There’s a number of analogies available.

I only weld at the edge of my garage, with the door open, with a fan running, and while wearing a respirator. Thanks for looking out for me and others.

I just bought a gas lens set for my welder and it included cups called the BBW and the FUPA. When I was taking MIG classes, they had a jar of anti-spatter gel called cooter snot tip dip. Can’t imagine why women are so rare in the profession

You can’t judge backlash by how the robot repeats the exact same set of movements over and over. That removes hysteresis from the problem definitionally.

I’m not totally sure what makes this result so novel but also that’s probably due to my ignorance. Hyperfine qubits are pretty common using neutral atoms, and you can do imaging on the hyperfine states. Is the novelty here that the electron

I don’t understand the argument here if there even is one. He didn’t like the way it was judged and he didn’t understand why raygun was there, so the whole thing should be thrown out? Also — he says the judging is too conservative for such
