The phantom wealth that has been created will, and is evaporating. The entire crypto sphere is nothing but smoke and mirrors. There truly is “no free lunch”.
While the same factors that grew laser sales in recent years could easily shrink those sales if the worldwide economies head back into recession territory,2 the laser industry continues to consolidate to maintain market dominance or to create new, vertically organized structures to serve existing and evolving markets amid the economic turmoil. In late 2018, Illumina (San Diego, CA) acquired rival Pacific Biosciences (Menlo Park, CA) to maintain its top position in DNA sequencing instrumentation. And II-VI (Saxonburg, PA) acquired Finisar (Sunnyvale, CA) for $3.2 billion3 on the strength of Finisar’s VCSEL products that are sold into 3D sensing applications for Apple iPhones.
Growth in the aesthetic sector was also facilitated by a number of U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approvals that expand dermatology applications: Alma Lasers (Caesarea, Israel) was approved for its three-wavelengths-in-one compact applicator; Syneron Candela won clearance for its 595 nm pulsed dye laser (PDL) cosmetic device that adds a 1064 nm wavelength to treat a broad range of skin conditions; and Lutronic (Korea) was cleared for its device offering pico- and nanosecond modes with precise control over pulsewidth, wavelength, and fluence for cases that have resisted other Nd:YAG treatments. Strata Skin Sciences (Horsham Township, PA), which reported Q3 2018 revenues of $7.9 million (an increase of 8% over 2017), received approval for an excimer laser tip able to custom-filter narrowband UVB light for a maximum non-blistering dose. And Korean developer Hironic got clearance for its hybrid acne treatment device that pairs a 1450 nm diode laser with bipolar radiofrequency and cryogenic cooling.
Previous work shows that fluid instabilities are overcome by 3D printing into a self-healing, jammed solid made from polymer microgels at low polymer concentration (11, 12, 29). Here, 3D printing into the diblock micelle suspension is inhibited by its fluid-dominated rheology; printed features will move under buoyancy forces or break up into droplets (Fig. 1, B and C). By contrast, 3D printing into the triblock network is inhibited by its solid properties; while the cross-linked network can support structures, the printing nozzle severs polymer bridges as it travels through the printing medium, irreversibly damaging the gel (Fig. 1, D and E). To create a solid material that can support printed structures and that is not damaged by a translating printing nozzle, we blend the diblock and triblock copolymers in search of a formulation having insufficient bridging to create a system-spanning network, but having enough bridging to create microscale organogels (Fig. 1, F to H). The addition of diblock copolymers promotes gel swelling without creating bridges. This micro-organogel system should fluidize at the location of applied stress and rapidly resolidify upon the removal of stress, much like the behavior of aqueous microgels, allowing for the precise manufacture of 3D-printed silicone structures.
Bitcoin and the cryptocurrencies are one thing, but should not be confused with the underlying blockchain / distributed ledger technologies.

There are still over 100 pesticides that can make it onto your food. Is a pesticide-free diet becoming impossible?
Luu Luc, general director of QNTek, said the farm project was designed to produce nine tonnes of shrimp annually from each 1,000sq.m pool in the first stage of investment. The nano-tech application would be used to expand to 100ha of hi-tech shrimp farms in Thang Binh and Nui Thanh districts.
Being to Busan is about 800 miles, the same distance as LA to Alamogordo, NM (where I lived as a kid in 1959-60).
David Bridge, Senior Technical Advisor said, “My team and I worked diligently to build the SMART ECU as a first step to be able to control the HydraGEN™ Technology products. This patent firmly establishes dynaCERT as a Canadian innovator in the field of carbon emission tracking and carbon credit solutions.”
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you for standing by and welcome to BWX Technologies Inc Fourth Quarter Earnings Conference Call. At this time, all participants are in a listen-only mode. (Operator Instructions). Following the Company’s prepared remarks, we will conduct a question-and-answer session and instructions will be given at that time. Please note this event is being recorded. I would now like to turn the call over to our host, Mr. Alan Nethery, BWXT’s Vice President and Chief Investor Relations Officer. Please go ahead.
The Bitcoin fanboys were an odious and obnoxious lot, without exception. They would incessantly bash “old bugs” (gold bugs) as being fossils whose physical precious metals were languishing in value, while touting the virtues of Bitcoin and its unlimited growth potential. Now they’ve vanished from the forums they used to haunt, unmissed and unlamented, as their scam currency plunges closer to its intrinsic value: zero. Such wealth destruction couldn’t happen to more deserving bunch.
