It looks wrong but feels soo right...
Paramagnetic glass!

Gadolinium 3+ in a phosphate glass, just need to increase the concentration so it can carry it's own weight.

That's some very attractive glass!

The Gd3+ concentration is finally high enough for the whole bead to be lifted by the magnet!

Super cool, mate!

When @gigabecquerel took the images of the superconducting wire I snuck some of my samples into the SEM chamber.

This electrochemically grown copper on a wire I used to hold objects while plating them. Different current densities seem to result in different structures.

Is your cat secretly phase shifting?

Safe Space

@gigabecquerel and I took some pretty sweet pictures of sugar crystals with the SEM at @FabLabMuc . We really need to motorize the rotary axis to get even better animations.

The things some people throw away...
This weeks scrapyard find: 85W 880nm diode laser for pumping a Ti-Sapphire laser.

Indeed a very successful haul! I freed these chonky PSUs from discarded Rhode&Schwarz equipment. 5.2V@95A!

If you are in Hannover you should come visit @gigabecquerel and my booth No. 97 at the Maker Faire! We have all kinds of radiation detectors and colorful DIY glasses!
