combnoinipo··on Heat energy leaps through empty space, thanks to quantum weirdness
Could it be possible that the heating of a conductor causes an induced magnetic field? I'm curious about the experimental design, but I wonder if the heating of one plate would create a current(via the Seebeck effect) and magnetic field which induces current in the other plate.
combnoinipo··on The Czochralski method for growing single-crystal semiconductors
Something that I've never found a satisfactory answer to when I've read about this method before has been the source for seed crystals. Where did the 'original' seed crystal come from in this process? I suppose once a new crystal with proper structure fabricated, you could use the newly created crystal as seed for further creations. Usually this was glanced over in my textbooks on silicon fab while in college.
