| B0101 | hi azonenberg | 02:04 |
|---|---|---|
| azonenberg | hi | 02:04 |
| azonenberg | Did you end up ordering any of that quartz? | 02:05 |
| B0101 | yup... but it has not arrived | 02:05 |
| B0101 | yet | 02:05 |
| azonenberg | Lol | 02:05 |
| azonenberg | Shipping... the bane of every experimenter | 02:06 |
| B0101 | my preferred shipping option: portals | 02:06 |
| azonenberg | Lol | 02:06 |
| azonenberg | i wish | 02:06 |
| B0101 | well, it it exists, it would be the fastest way to buy stuff | 02:08 |
| azonenberg | Indeed | 02:08 |
| azonenberg | *want* | 02:08 |
| B0101 | if it ever exists... we will have a few issues... | 02:14 |
| azonenberg | lol | 02:14 |
| azonenberg | Probably | 02:14 |
| B0101 | if thieves get their hands on one... shoot portal in to victims house | 02:15 |
| azonenberg | You'd have to have an open window | 02:16 |
| B0101 | yup | 02:16 |
| azonenberg | otherwise the portal just appears on a window | 02:16 |
| B0101 | but still... there may be one way to prevent this... | 02:16 |
| B0101 | how aperture does it: make it as expensive as hell that no one can afford it | 02:16 |
| azonenberg | lol | 02:16 |
| B0101 | another way: use big sized portal generators on both the sender and the receiver's end | 02:20 |
| B0101 | and then lock the system with a password | 02:20 |
| B0101 | with very strong encryption | 02:21 |
| B0101 | as for the quartz glass... it can wait. we all need to have a bit of patience sometimes. (though it will be hard) | 02:22 |
| B0101 | azonenberg: have you ever though about making your own photoresist? | 02:25 |
| B0101 | *thought | 02:25 |
| azonenberg | No, i dont have the o-chem background to try synthesizing DNQ | 02:26 |
| B0101 | well, i might be on to something... | 02:29 |
| azonenberg | ooh | 02:29 |
| azonenberg | do tell | 02:29 |
| azonenberg | DNQ or another photoactive compound? | 02:29 |
| B0101 | i have been doing experiments on AgCl... It seems like i might be able to make a developer that removes Ag remains after the exposure of a certain area of light without touching the AgCl | 02:32 |
| azonenberg | interesting | 02:32 |
| azonenberg | The problem is that its metal based | 02:32 |
| azonenberg | not sure if it'd be CMOS compatible | 02:32 |
| azonenberg | you could probably use it for MEMS though | 02:32 |
| B0101 | ouch... i forgot | 02:34 |
| B0101 | exposure might need to be done in a hood | 02:34 |
| B0101 | AgCl when exposed to light breaks into Ag and Cl | 02:35 |
| azonenberg | Oh joy | 02:35 |
| azonenberg | worse yet | 02:35 |
| azonenberg | it'll corrode your exposure system | 02:35 |
| azonenberg | i'm sticking with DNQ-novolac | 02:35 |
| B0101 | ok... maybe i'll have to try something else... | 02:37 |
| B0101 | hi azonenberg | 12:59 |
| azonenberg | hi | 13:00 |
| azonenberg | Any luck on the homebrew resist? | 13:00 |
| B0101 | nope... | 13:01 |
| B0101 | i wasn't able to get a proper image (some parts of the resist do not work) | 13:01 |
| azonenberg | i see | 13:01 |
| azonenberg | Why are you trying this - do you not have a source for regular resist? | 13:01 |
| B0101 | i know where to get regular resist, but i am trying this for people who may not have such access to these chemicals | 13:02 |
| azonenberg | I see | 13:03 |
| azonenberg | Do you think you could synthesize a DNQ-novolac resist? | 13:03 |
| azonenberg | i dont know anything about the chemistry behind that | 13:03 |
| B0101 | i will be doing research on them tomorrow. | 13:05 |
| B0101 | now god knows how long i've been here in the lab | 13:06 |
| B0101 | well, i think i might have some old patents for DNQ-novolac photoresists. I will try to find them | 13:07 |
| Action: B0101 goes to get a cup of coffee | 13:08 | |
| B0101 | back | 13:11 |
| B0101 | azonenberg: fact: AgCl is able to cure mercury poisoning | 13:24 |
| azonenberg | Lol, you do that | 13:25 |
| azonenberg | i'm writing FPGA code now | 13:25 |
| azonenberg | and wondering when i'll be able to find time to finish designing my rev2 spin coater | 13:26 |
| soul-d | from coffee to mercury poisoning mmm "this new silvery coffeemilk looks posh ? " | 13:28 |
| azonenberg | lol | 13:30 |
| Action: B0101 does know what to do except laugh at previous comment | 13:34 | |
| soul-d | finally nice weather arriving here | 13:52 |
| soul-d | wich means hibernation is over and should be able to spend some energy again | 13:54 |
| Action: azonenberg didnt know geeks hibernated | 13:58 | |
| azonenberg | i thought they just crawled deep into their caves | 13:58 |
| soul-d | nah lost to much weight again so winters are terrible anything below 10C for that matter | 14:03 |
