Thank you #biorxiv staff for processing the pre-prints so quickly and nicely. Our latest manuscript addresses a rather specialized, albeit important, question in mRNA degradation in yeast. To what extent the Lsm1-7/Pat1 complex is involved in the degradation of mRNA by decapping activation ? By using a degron strain allowing rapid depletion of Lsm1, we find a slight impact of the complex on decapping, including changes in #NMD substrate levels.

I finally got to try my hand using the laser at my new office. Bonus: the #asic still works after I had no clue if I was doing the #decapping right.

Extraer SEMICONDUCTOR de cualquier Circuito Integrado de forma Fácil

Aprovechando la estación de aire caliente YIHUA 8786D pondré a prueba un método para remover el encapsulado de circuitos integrados que evita el uso de químicos peligrosos.
Con la aplicación de calor y algo de fuerza con unas pinzas es posible separar el semiconductor de su encapsulado para una inspección con microscopio.

Reverse Engineering Smart Meters, Now With More Fuming Nitric Acid

If you’re lucky, reverse engineering can be a messy business. Sure, there’s something to be said for attacking and characterizing an unknown system and leaving no trace of having been t…

Is there anything more discouraging to the reverse engineer than to see a black blob of epoxy applied directly to a PCB? We think not, because that formless shape provides no clue as to what chip l…

How _does_ your phone track its relative position/orientation in space? Tiny little accelerometers and gyroscopes!

I dissected an IMU so we could trace it out in detail, play with printed models, analyze high speed footage and look at pretty SEM images

Cheers to all the folks I badgered with questions! ♥ The gyros in particular were a bit of a challenge to figure out, since they don't operate quite like a "textbook" MEMs gyro (or rather, they are more sophisticated in their sensing)
