Is it conceivable that some organic solvent could be synthesized that is, simultaneously harmless to water-based biological life, and capable of etching Silicon oxides?
ok, could it be:
Crystal Oscillator Design and Temperature Compensation :Marvin E. Frerking (1978).
or perhaps
Introduction to Quartz Crystal Unit Design : Virgil E. Bottom (1982)?
The premise behind this vibe-coded website is excellent. It would have been great if a bit more effort had been invested in the visualization side and, if instead of using "AI-rendered" images, you'd have fetched scientifically accurate representations from papers and open repositories.
Those really were the good old days. My BBS ran out of my parents’ attic, with two phone lines and Renegade on the server (on a beefed-up PS/1). It was pure magic.
Science magazine used to run a genuinely thought-provoking “Breakthrough of the Year.” Lately, it feels like it has narrowed to AI+AI+agents, and more AI.
I’m looking for an outlet that consistently highlights truly unexpected, high-impact scientific breakthroughs across fields.
