Every instance has sort of a theme of its own, but since most instances are federated, that doesn't really make a difference: the entire federated network is the Reddit clone.
"A few weeks after we met, we realized that we had to write a joint paper because the combination of our last names, in the usual alphabetical order, is remarkably obscene."
Oh, no, it won't use capillary forces in the current design. Rather, it will actively pump fluids through the channels, so they only need to be thin enough to allow laminar flow and force any bubbles through.
Environmental enzyme detection, huh? I like that use case, seems relatively simple yet useful to start with!
I've bought a good 3D printer and experimented with it. Right now I'm pretty sure it can be done, although not at a terribly high resolution.
Okay, enzyme separation huh... I can imagine separating pure enzymes from something like a cheap non-laboratory mixture (e.g. digestive enzymes) or a used up reaction mixture.
These days I've been working on typing down what I have noted in paper or in my mind, in order to share it. I did create and publish this tool for the project, which at least does prove that I'm onto something.
I intend to work towards a self-sustaining DNA/protein making machine, which would lower research material costs to basically zero. But my initial goal is something simple, like separating and identifying the different proteins in a commercial enzyme mixture.
Basically a lab-on-chip, that is, a relatively small device that can automate some laboratory tasks. Most LoCs are special purpose (e.g. pharmacy pregnancy tests or COVID tests); my goal is to design one that can automate a wide variety of tasks and is cheap and Open Source.
Fun fact: there's as of now one opioid (tianeptine) that has been claimed to be non-addictive. Little to no effort seems to be underway to prove or deny it, so time will tell...
Interesting question... I know it's possible to model at least some properties of the economy. E.g. the Yard-Sale model is able to predict wealth distribution despite being such a simple model.
As always, nice discussion and interesting info on a variety of subjects from sorting by new, especially coming from lemmy.ml, plus a small dose of lemmygrad for my political needs (although genzedong is sometimes too based even for myself...).
Well, I guess it just tries to match a few words against a dictionary. It doesn't even need to have the full dictionary, just the must common words like 'the', etc.
