Title: Ferroscope
Post by: leafy on July 22, 2012, 04:08:24 pm

Hey guys,

You're probably wondering what I've been up to this whole time. After losing my calculator, I signed up with a fellowship at the SUNY Stony Brook campus, where I'm working with a professor and some grad students in looking at properties of ferroelectrics. In my spare time, I've also been helping a grad student develop a ferroelectric electrical testing setup from scratch, using an Arduino and some spare circuit components. Before I went, the project was just another crazy idea in the mind of my mentor, but I've been helping to make that idea into a reality.

Ferromagnetism? That looks pretty cool, especially with an Arduino.

Actually, ferromagnetism and ferroelectrics are two separate things, but they can sometimes be considered in the same ways :D
