the heat wave is not caving in but our brave teams are doing the best they can regardless of the extremely difficult working conditions and long working hours. Today the Unpredictables crew built their second double pendulum and started working on the third, the DNATRiX crew survived the attack of the wild bone crushing machine (we gave an coffee blender a promotion :)), the Madd crew started with the preparation of the oxygenation tank, the Killers crew moved to a colder classroom and continued building their probe, the Databetes crew learnt about statistics and fought against rebellious computers (check out the video) and the C3PU crew learnt a lot of important things for their work in VHDL. After all that they listened to our two lectures one on Graphene - the material of the future, and the other on Genetically modified viruses for cancer therapy. We're really proud of all of them for their dedication and hard work.

Breakfast detail
Today was a great day. We had a lot of things to do. We made two double pendulums and started to build the third one. It was
interesting to find the best way how to do a double pendulum. That took us a long time, and that’s why we had to finish the
third one tomorrow. We had a difficult day but when we finished the second double
pendulum and saw that it was working we were very happy. Also we named our
pendulums Robert and Irena. They were made in a different wood and in different
length so we can compare result in the end. - the Unpredictables

Today we are lucky to be alive. It all started as an
ordinary day after being woken up by our dear organizers. A couple of coffees
later we found ourselves in a near death situation. We were blending the bones
when our machine suddenly exploded (You know… like… BOOOM!). Luckily, nobody
was hurt and we can proceed with our work. -

Daily news from Madd
(Friday)
Today we started with preparation of oxygenation tank. We used a tube, (lots of) silicon, a wire from a hairdryer (to heat our sample during the oxygenation) and 2 stands on which it can stay during the process and power supply. We didn't have a gun for the silicon but Domagoj was strong enough to push it out. Actually we got one later but we could cope with it without gun as well. We learned about the crystal structure of YBCO in the library. Cuprates have special planes and chains made by Cu and O. We also learned about doping (=it's the changing in number of electrons).
Now we have a broad knowledge in languages… We know the most necessary words in Hungarian and Anna knows the Croatian ones.
For relaxing a bit we burnt some sugar with H2SO4. It was very fun but smelly too. (It wasn’t necessary, we just tried it.. Our perfect reason was: Why not? )
After the lectures we had stay to grind our samples again.

We're at the peak of day three. Everything is going smooth.
Chased off from our classroom on the second floor by the heat, we were forced
to settle at the first floor. We claimed our new land, every inch of it. After
moving the equipment, we continued our exhausting work. Building a probe is not
an easy job, you know? Neither is winding the coil – 164 turns on each side. We
are proud! This leaves us waiting for the dinner and praying it's going to be
something delicious. Till tomorrow, we wish all our readers the best. - the Killers

Today was really hard day.
We had to learn a lot of important things for work in VHDL, we learned
combinational circuits, sequential circuits and synchronous sequential
circuits. Tomorrow we are going further and soon we will start to work on our
CPU. Attached images show the register transfer level (RTL) schematic for a
2-to-4 decoder that we implemented, and the waveforms that we got from
simulating the decoder.- the C3PU

The Nanocollective – daily news
This morning we were busy like bees; we've
done some calculating and managed to make our own sodium citrate buffer. First
we were afraid that our nanoparticles will die because of risky pH but after we
were back from lunch we saw something magnificent! We made spikes and bragged
about it around the school. Each of us made our own nanoparticles and put it in
different environments, so we're looking forward to see the results tomorrow.
