Zooming by the yellow window
Thank you everyone for visiting, commenting and fav'ing - very much appreciated! Press "L" for better view and "F" if you like it!
This is the view trough a yellow UV protective window into a clean room at the Molecular Foundry, a cutting edge research laboratory for Nanosciences, at the LBNL (Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) in the hills behind Berkely, California. The Molecular Foundry is a DOE (Department of Energy) funded Nanoscale Science Research Center. The ETH Alumni Bay Area Chapter organized a highly interesting visit to the lab. Among others, we learned about Silicon Photonics that allows 50Gbps fiber optic links, the nano-scale mirrors in the TI projectors, scuba diving at nano-scale, and single digit nano research that has the goal to create features in the sub 10 nm scale. For comparison, 10 atoms in a row occupy about 1 nm.
I did not have my NEX-6 with me tonight - this is a simple iPhone photo. I post-processed it into smooth HDR mainly to enhance the micro contrast. I like the hues of yellow/green/orange. The yellow window keeps UV light out.
