We urgently need @emfcamp sponsors - if we do not secure more, we will have to make tough decisions. Tickets cover base costs, but sponsors pay for lovely things like our free childcare and talk transcription. Every little helps! Find out more here: emfcamp.org/sponsor

Sponsor Electromagnetic Field

Electromagnetic Field is the UK's largest camping festival for people interested in technology, science, and arts. We're looking for sponsors to help us make this year our best event yet.

Very excited to share this great TEI paper led by @OliverChild being demo'd at #TEI2024 in Cork this evening. An exploration on using acoustics for fabrication by manipulating particles and active materials. dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36235…

This weekend I build the Dedeterminator - a decision-making tool that harnesses quantum randomness to make choices free from causality

It's basically just a smoke detector Americium 241 source taped to a Geiger counter, and a Pi Pico just measuring the time between pulses.

Great final day in the lab at @BristolIG demonstrating EL fabrication methods to (and learning from!) the very talented @OliverChild and Wenda Zhao.

So the cloves we put with the pumpkin in the beer ended up dominating the brew. Had to do some last-minute rebranding 😬

Today was the first official day of my PhD with @BristolIG! I'll be exploring using ultrasonic transducer arrays to create localised cleanroom environments for electronics. I'm hoping that my work will lower the barrier to entry semiconductor and electronics manufacturing.

Just attended a workshop @bristolhackspc for #tinytapeout by @matthewvenn - Awesome to see how easy it is now to do open-source silicon projects, and I'm excited to see what comes next. It's neat that I can view the 3D gds of the design I was able to make during the workshop.
