Top metal has pretty significant damage because it spent over an hour in the acid to get all of the substrate off, then several fairly aggressive cleaning cycles to remove most of the polyimide (but there's still some golden residue scattered around, I'll try some more cleaning tomorrow to try and get all of it and re-image)
But this die is destined to be stripped to substrate so I can do floorplan analysis, so that's …

This is 1 of my bumper stickers. Yesterday, I looked in my rear view while sitting at a red light, & in the car behind me, the driver was holding up his hand, displaying metal horns & tracing the shape w/ the index finger of his other hand, while explaining the sticker to his passenger. I flashed my own metal horns hand for her. She laughed. He looked back over & laughed. I laughed. It was a fun little moment. Those are needed in these bleak times. 😉

Is There Enough Metal to Replace Oil? - CounterPunch.org

Is There Enough Metal to Replace Oil?
A key issue for the accomplishment of renewables is power storage because of the impact of wind and solar intermittency, both of which are highly intermittent. Most studies assume gas will be the buffer for intermittency. Other than using fossil fuel such as gas as a buffer, an adequate power storage system to handle intermittency will require 30 times more material than what electric vehicles require with current plans, meaning the scope is much larger than the current paradigm allows.

Short-Range Solvent-Solvent and Ion-Solvent Correlations at Metal-Electrolyte Interfaces: Parameterization and Benchmarking
Short-range correlations in electrolyte solutions lead to oscillatory profiles of water polarization and ionic concentration at electrode-electrolyte interfaces. The recently developed density-potential-polarization functional theory (DPPFT) provides a comprehensive framework to incorporate these short-range correlation effects. In the present work, the parameters describing short-range solvent-solvent and ion-solvent correlations in DPPFT are determined from the wavenumber-dependent dielectric…

The Origins of Neutron-capture Elements In Globular Cluster M22
The chemical abundances of metal-poor stars in globular clusters provide important constraints on their evolutionary scenarios. Using both main r-process and weak r-process patterns, we fit the abundances of s-poor stars in the globular cluster M22. The coefficients of the main and weak r-process components are nearly constant for the sample stars, including s-rich stars. By accounting for the contribution of the s-process from low-mass asymptotic giant branch stars, the abundances of s-rich st…

Composite metal foam could lead to safer hazmat transportation
A new study finds that composite metal foam (CMF) can withstand tremendous force—enough to punch a hole in a railroad tank car—at much lower weight than solid steel. The finding raises the possibility of creating a safer generation of tanker cars for transporting hazardous materials.

There were also 8 inch (used before 1980s mainly), and various not very successful 3 inch, 2½ inch and 2 inch formats.
Note that while the form factor might have been the same, a lot of diskettes aren't mutually software compatible between systems.

Origin of pressure-induced anomalies in the nodal-line ferrimagnet Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$
A pressure-induced insulator-to-metal transition (IMT) has recently been discovered in the nodal-line ferrimagnet Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$. The electronic phase transition is accompanied by anomalies in the magnetic ordering temperature and the anomalous Hall conductivity, which peak at or near the critical pressure of the IMT. We perform density functional theory (DFT) calculations as a function of pressure to reveal the driving factors behind the IMT and the magnetic anomalies in Mn$_3$Si$_2$Te$_6$…

Quantum simulation of carbon capture in periodic metal-organic frameworks
Carbon capture is vital for decarbonizing heavy industries such as steel and chemicals. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), with their high surface area and structural tunability, are promising materials for CO2 capture. This study focuses on Fe-MOF-74, a magnetic Mott insulator with exposed metal sites that enhance CO2 adsorption. Its strongly correlated electronic structure challenges standard DFT methods, which often yield inconsistent predictions. We initially benchmark adsorption energies usi…

Atomistic mechanisms of oxidation and chlorine corrosion in Ni-based superalloys: The role of boron and light interstitial segregation
Hybrid Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics simulations were used to investigate the interaction of light interstitials in multi-element Ni-based alloys. We show that light interstitials such as boron and oxygen fundamentally alter interfacial chemistry by reshaping alloy-element distribution and segregation. Oxygen adsorption drove boron migration from the grain boundary to the free surface, where it co-enriched with Cr, Fe, and Mo and formed BO3 trigonal motifs embedded within mixed-metal oxide…

'Self-fixturing' friction stir technique removes barriers for US manufacturing
A spinning tool plunges into two pieces of metal, rotating at a high rate of speed. As the tool begins to move, it softens and mixes the metal, creating a powerful weld—one that can securely join similar and dissimilar materials (particularly metals and alloys) without rivets, fasteners, or adhesive. This advanced manufacturing technique—called friction stir welding—requires only a fraction of the energy required by conventional techniques, but it isn't used on many assembly lines today.

Raman Digital Twin of Monolayer Janus Transition Metal Dichalcogenides
Monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) are a key class of two-dimensional (2D) materials with broad technological potential. Their Janus counterparts exhibit unique properties due to broken out-of-plane symmetry and further enrich the functionalities of TMDs. However, experimental synthesis and identification of Janus TMDs remain challenging. It is thus highly desirable to have a rapid, simple, and in situ characterization technique to monitor, in real time, the conversion process fr…

#NowPlaying the new LP 'Slumber Behind Rotten Walls' by Toulouse, France's NOHZ. This is some intense, raucous, feedbacky hardcore punk, and there are hooks in there- along with some black metal maybe. But this is firmly punk, with some depraved, raw vocals. A great listen.

I guess as long as you have an account there before December 2, and it can be LPs, EPs, or splits even as long as they were released this year and were new material.. the rules are on this forum thread along with discussion, and you'd submit a DM there to the poster of the thread.

Full die PIC12F683 100x scan at M3 with a little bit of passivation remaining.
There's a few small particulates on the surface from my somewhat crude "rub it with a swab" cleaning to remove residual undercut glass fragments.
Plan is to give it ~10 more seconds in HF to get more glass residue off, then maybe a very brief sonication (like 2-3 seconds), then image again to see if it cleaned up at all.
Depending on how things go I might end up just continuing to e…
