Columbia Chemists Discover a New Form of Carbon: Graphene’s “Superatomic” Cousin

Graphullerene, an atom-thin material made of linked fullerene subunits, gives scientists a new form of modular carbon to play with.

Newly discovered form of carbon is graphene's 'superatomic' cousin

Carbon in its myriad forms has long captivated the scientific community. Besides being the primary component of all organic life on earth, material forms of carbon have earned their fair share of breakthroughs. In 1996, the Nobel Prize in Chemistry went to the discoverers of fullerene, a...

Scored one of these secondhand for £30 at a charity shop - a Wanstonic mic box with three inputs was ziptied to it, and also wierdly, a Korg keyboard pedal 93 - the latter doesn't have any relation to the Deq1024. Handy to kill feedback when yelling at my neighbours, and guitar practice. I don't know if it works yet, but cosmetically very well looked after, still has plastic protectors over the panels. It's supposed to make pretty patterns using the eq fader LEDs during playback. Too much noise for production work, keeping such in the digital domain works out better.

well the power button kicked the bucket but replaced it today with a new switch as needed some weird ass torx security bit that's not even in my ifix it kit to get the fkn lid off.



was made in 2005 and i got it from new but it did cost £500 but you can get a digital one with a app but it wont work on ios pmsl.

Physicists Are Searching for Signs of a Second 'Dark' Big Bang to Solve a Major Mystery

Dark matter in the universe might be so mysterious because it has a completely different origin to the rest of the cosmos, a new theory proposes.

Looks like a hi-tech bong . No pipes made out of apples or carrots for you then.

it is in basic terms a heat pump but it does not get so hot it combusts what you put in it ie why it is a vape and not some cheap rubbish that uses a heat element to vape liquid.

Do you have trouble with short term memory? I know at least one ex-smoker who can't be productive without dozens of post-it reminders all over his screens and home.

I don't have any torx with central holes, could do with a set. For some reason the bbs01b speed sensor magnet needs that type, just that part; features nowhere else in the kit - I managed to tighten it without.

It's a lot of supposition. Dark matter or modified gravity? Nobody knows yet.

Nothing wrong with your mid-term memory then... sorry I've only got two (I think) and they're being used in my Maxi 64, for it's mad reverbs. You'd be amazed at how much old gear I've thrown into wheelie bins over the years, which people are desperate for now. Simply took up too much room to keep.

i got a Tascam 4 track recorder in the loft if i threw that in a wheelie bi it would brake it lol



its older than that one tho and like 20kg

apropos of nothing, have an old tosh 486 laptop in loft with trackball mounted on detachable sidearm, guess from somewhere late nineties, but god knows. forever tilting between ditching it (fires it up and realize just how primitive graphics were) and trying to imagine some far fetched function for its fat square retroness

I threw away a Toshiba like that in 2001! Great condition, but I couldn't think of a single use for it at the time. Might be worth something in 20 years or so, if it doesn't die serving some function - you might be able to squeeze in a very old version of Puppy Linux with GUI? SSL will be problematic, most of the internet will not connect.

I still want this. Until recently, CRTs were used in most animation houses, for colour accuracy.
