Blowing on a hot cup of tea to cool it - works! This is a movie taken with a thermal camera, so the hottest areas show up brightest. When a hot piece of iron cools, it glows yellow, then orange, then red, then finally goes dark - at least to

Still life of funnel with gold. One rule of the cleanroom: if it looks like gold, it probably is. We use a lot of gold in the cleanroom, as it turns out to have pretty useful optical and electrical properties. It’s just unfortunate coincidence that it’s also lovely

A cup of hot green tea! Imaged at 10 microns using a thermal camera. In this picture, the hottest areas show up as the lightest. The tea’s near boiling, so it’s much brighter than everything else in the photo - the room in the background fades into the

It’s just water. Cold water on a warm hand, to be exact. This is an image from an infrared camera I was testing today. It turns out that humans glow in infrared, exactly in the same way that a red-hot piece of iron glows in visible light. We’re

Here’s another view of the sample I posted earlier, the one that was so wonderfully, spectacularly ruined. This time I’ve zoomed in near the very edge of the chip, where the vast plain of laser material abruptly ends at a jagged cliff. By the time I was looking
