- What is Parafilm you ask. It is simply parafine wax supplied in thin
- sheets that is routinely used in biology, biochem, and related field
- as a quick and easy way to seal flasks that you don't want exposed to
- the nasty little things that float in the air. I don't think it meets
- the Jed Rothwell protocol for keeping CF experiments squeeky clean
- with respect to organics.
-
- As to other recent CF news that I would assign to the dust bin is
- the message from Prof. Farrell that Mills is producing 50 Watts
- of heat with 2.5 Watts input power - too big an effect to require
- careful measurements. But, of course, we can't be told anything
- about how this is done! Perhaps Mills would consider releasing
- a video.
