Saw a shooting star tonight! It had a bright red center surrounded by yellow and streaked down the sky. I was looking in the direction of Orion when I noticed it. Quite an amazing sight. Naturally, when one sees a star, you make a wish. So I did! And of course, I'm not going to say what the wish was, otherwise it won't have the chance of coming true (not that wishing upon a star may work in the first place).

Not much else going on.. the next semester is just around the corner. Hope to have more progress in lab in the coming two weeks. I am making small steps for sure with the SET device.

After all, in my heart NYC is still my home. This weekend is Fall Break. Unfortunately for me, the weather is bad so I probably can't go hiking, and then my boss told me Thursday that we have work to do over the weekend. Right now I am busy testing the microwave/rf generators for our quantum dot gate pulsing. We need to make sure that we can maintain the pulse form sent down to the sample with minimal distortion, reflection, attenuation and loss. This is made particularly difficult due to the size of our metal gates (which I made), on the order of 100 nm or less in width and less than 20 nm in thickness. S...
