Software engineers can sometimes find it difficult as with a HDL you (should) describe hardware that exhibits the intended behaviour, rather than just directly describing the behav…

Not immoral, just more culpable. Is it immoral not to kill oneself as being alive makes one more likely to kill someone?

These perovskites are notoriously difficult to deposit at scale in a uniform enough layer to be effective, with small variances causing dramatic drops in efficiency. On the cool si…
