    Generating EUV Light Without High Costs

    Google was my first stop, hence my attempt to tap the big brains. Appreciate the help all the same. Guess ill keep my fingers crossed for some significant innovation in the area.

    Generating EUV Light Without High Costs

    Wow, quick responses. Ok, fair points above, and I think I have my answer now anyway. Just for the sake of completeness, I would be thinking of the range from approx. 125-150nm. Meaning the discharge lamps are unfortunately too long wave.

    Generating EUV Light Without High Costs

    My question is: if you had no requirements for specific wavelength, intensity, duration, etc., are there ways of producing euv light (<150nm) without billions of dollars of equipment and power requirements in the KWs at most. Any Ideas?

    Undergrad A question about dehumidifiers and condensation

    True, but unfortunately I can't find much on condenser heat sink design as they are normally larger and use finned pipes with gas or fluid refrigerant instead.

    Undergrad A question about dehumidifiers and condensation

    So you would agree with the hypothetical about the 100% humidity?

    Undergrad A question about dehumidifiers and condensation

    Hi guys! My question is about the heat sinks (cold side) used in some dehumidifiers. It appears that thick, well spaced fins are used, as opposed to a larger number of thin fins, which I would expect to provide better heat transfer. Am I right in assuming that this is to allow space for...

    Graduate The ‘Brownian ratchet’ and its relevance to the second law of thermodynamics.

    My question is regarding the reason why the Brownian ratchet fails to negate the second law. The explanation that I have been told relates to the fact that the molecules in the second chamber would interact with the 'pawl' in a similar manner to those interacting with the paddle wheel...
