This student describes the process of making homemade silicon chips in his parents' garage. "Now we know that it's possible to make really good transistors with impure chemicals, no cleanroom, and homemade equipment... A major theme of this DIY silicon process is to circumvent expensive, difficult, or dangerous steps." When I was a kid my parents' garage contained a car (and a snowblower) and was a shed. Still, this is a great glimpse at what high school projects of the future could look like. Via Ars Technica and Wesley Fryer.
