So if something is home-made, it's "old world"? No.
Further, there's a commercial furnace on her workbench in those
photos. There's very little that's home-made there. (except her chips
of course)
She has an intrepid nature I grant, and my hats off to
her.
But it stands to be seen whether she'll break new ground.
She HAS broken new ground...she's made transistors and integrated
circuits in a home lab. As far as breaking new ground in semiconductor
physics, well, that's not the goal. Even she doesn't have enough
funding for that.
