For a lot of reasons, home etching of PCBs is somewhat of a dying art. The main reason is the rise of quick-turn PCB fabrication services, of course; when you …read more Continue reading Copper Be Gone: The Chemistry Behind PCB Etching
Quantum computers can handle calculations that are well out of the reach of traditional computers, and now scientists in Australia have used the tech to observe something usually too fast for the eye to see. The team managed to slow down a molecular in… Continue reading Quantum computer reveals chemical reaction in 100-billionth-speed slow-mo
Though Hackaday scribes have been known to imbibe a few glasses in their time, it’s fair to say that we are not a wine critic site. When a news piece …read more Continue reading The Briny Depths Give Wine An Edge, But How?
It is a classic rite of passage for nerdy kids to write secret messages using lemon juice. If you somehow missed that, you can’t see the writing until you heat …read more Continue reading Kitchen Steganography with Turmeric
There’s some nifty research from the University of Bayreuth, together with partners in China and the U.S., on creating supremely tough aluminosilicate glass that boasts an unusual structure. The image …read more Continue reading Supremely-tough Glass Performs Under Pressure
[Sebastian] probably didn’t think he was wading into controversial waters when he posted on his experimental method for etching PCBs (in German). It’s not like etching with hydrochloric acid and …read more Continue reading Different Etching Strokes for Different PCBs, Folks
Scientists at the University of Chicago have detected the first evidence of a phenomenon called “quantum superchemistry.” Long predicted but never confirmed, this effect could speed up chemical reactions, give scientists more control over them, and inf… Continue reading “Quantum superchemistry” observed in lab experiments for first time
While most photographers have moved on to digital cameras with their numerous benefits, there are a few artists out there still taking pictures with film. While film is among the …read more Continue reading Old Film Camera Modified for Different Chemistry
For hundreds of years, Icelanders have relied on the ocean for survival. This is perhaps not surprising as it’s an isolated island surrounded by ocean near the Arctic circle. But …read more Continue reading No Fish Left Behind
Since being green-lit in 2019, high-powered, low-frequency ultrasound has become one of the most promising technological developments in winemaking. Its ability to effectively ‘age’ wine in minutes stands to revolutionize traditional production, which … Continue reading Ultrasound the surprise ingredient for better rosé wine, faster
