Concentrating Hydrochloric Acid This cartoon turns 24 this year.....#chemsky 🧪
A cartoon of a bottle of hydrochloric acid.  It is doing a crossword.  It is concentrating very hard.  It is concentrating hydrochloric acid. Pen on paper cartoon drawn in 2001.

The LA fires are a human tragedy. But Republican lawmakers don't seem to care about human beings, so let's re-frame it. The GDP of the County of Los Angeles is larger than the GDP of all but ~20 countries. It has a larger GDP than Sweden or Taiwan. Helping it recover is incredibly important.

Reading comments👇🏾 and 🙈! I am a scientist who came from nothing. No $ can buy grit, faith, resilience etc. grad school stipend was priceless- it was more than enough. Sorry but I believe character development and discipline will make more scientists than more resources. My apologies if I offend.

Does Africa need a light source? At ~US$ 1 billion initial cost and US$100 million annual maintenance, can the continent do it or should there be other priorities? #chemsky www.africanlightsource.org

Using liquid metal, scientists have devised a new way to make electronics that assemble themselves, with prototypes including transistors and diodes. By @cqchoi.bsky.social for @ieeespectrum.bsky.social spectrum.ieee.org/self-assembly

This is nothing like the liquid metal Terminator, thankfully, but self-assembling electronics could radically transform how we make computer chips. It could also be much cheaper than today's billion-dollar chip fabs with their expensive lithography machines. 🧪 www.newscientist.com/article/2459...

Liquid metal particles can self-assemble into electronics
A cheap method for forming the tiny components of chips, such as transistors and diodes, harnesses simple fluid physics to make the electronics self-assembling

onwards to the NSF ICORP nationals, will this the be the biggest challenge yet? Thanks @shiplives.bsky.social, @cqchoi.bsky.social and @jeremyhsu.bsky.social for fantastic highlights of this work! spectrum.ieee.org/self-assembly
