E-beam litho is...uh...not cheap. The system in the shared fab I use (WNF) costs around $450/hr with various discounts applied. Also, you're not going to get much done in just an hour. Now, maskless laser lithography is reasonably

Does anyone else here melt their own glass formulations? I've written a little software package that implements all of the common math for calculating recipes and estimating properties. I'd love another developer on it, because ri

Presumably, an ensemble of nuclear theorists, particularly those dedicating their lives to making big LQCD calculations, would avoid inverting large ill-conditioned matrices, if that was a clever thing to do. I know a few QFT types - they t

What do you mean, not much intuition for Fourier transforms? Sure, sometimes you get weird results and need to work with fairly generalized versions of functions, and a bit of background in functional analysis is helpful, but a strong intui

Unfortunately, the lack of documentation thing strikes again... It was pretty simple electronically - an ATTiny25, a coin cell, and an LED wired across two IO pins, for light sensing using LED's junction capacitance as a photocurrent i

I tried to do this exact thing years ago too! Except I only used one RGB led, and thus could never sense the red channel, because the bandgap of green and blue LED dies is too big to really get any signal from red light. Isn't it annoy

None of the standard vendors we use actually ship the MSDS, but most do supply it online. I'm not in that business, but I do deal with various safety concerns quite a bit. When faced with basic tools, the average person tends to have a

For decently capable(1) desktop manufacturing,"desktop" is a bit of a misnomer at this point. I've found that you need at least three desks, not to mention another desk for all of the test gear, and another for mechanical pro

I think the name "HHO" itself hints that some amount of bullshit is taking place - the electrolysis units are obviously burning a 2:1 mixture of H2 and O2, not some weird mixture of atomic hydrogen and oxygen or impossible isomer
