The New England Journal of Medicine (@NEJM) today published a peer-reviewed original paper with the results of a landmark clinical trial of our PRIMA brain-computer interface (BCI) retinal implant.

All working implants are alike, every failed implant has failed in it's own way.

The company that first isolated MSG and produces 20% of the global supply also happens to make the epoxy composite dielectric for high density interconnects in all modern CPUs/GPUs.

The ferries on the SF bay generate $12M in passenger fares and have $145M in expenses. Ride them while you can, they are amazingly fast, clean, and almost always empty.

Tree growth is essentially a room temp CVD process. Atmospheric co2 + h2o precursors are catalyzed by metal complexes and enzymes that yield a glucose product and o2 byproduct. For a 2 mm tree ring the dep rate comes out to ~200nm/hr, or comparable to ALD.

If you have hands-on thin film fabrication experience and are interested in working on neural implants, check out the full role details here:

We're looking for a microfabrication engineer to join our R&D team in California to help develop our thin film electrode and encapsulation technologies.

How it started: Oppenheimer brings the new physics to Berkeley. How it’s going:

I am the 3rd person in the world to receive the @Neuralink brain implant. 1st with ALS. 1st Nonverbal. I am typing this with my brain. It is my primary communication. Ask me anything! I will answer at least all verified users! Thank you @elonmusk!

Your skin is breathing – not in an active respiratory sense, but through continuous, two-way passive exchange with the surroundings. In a paper published today in @Nature, link below, titled “A Non-contact Wearable Device for Monitoring Epidermal Molecular Flux,” we introduce an

@theFoldster Bell Labs’ Murray Hill facility had wall panels every 6 feet with: - 3-phase 208V AC (3 hot, 1 common, 1 ground) - Standard 110V AC - 500 mmHg vacuum - 60 psi air - 10 psi nitrogen - 10 psi oxygen - 5 psi steam - Natural gas - Distilled water - Chilled water - Hot water - Drain

the real lesson of cassandra’s curse is that if you’re handed alpha by the gods you should act on it instead of trying to convince others

Activist vs. Blackrock intern

Even the graffiti in oakland is gentrified

this is not what I had in mind when we were promised neural dust

The valve metal oxidizes in salt water to form a self-healing passivating layer. So these can be mated even when wet. These use Nb but other valve metals that have low solubility in salt water should also work (eg Ta, Zr).

This is a clever approach for undersea electrical connectors: don't even try to keep the terminals dry, and instead exploit the oxidization of terminals coated with a valve metal.
