Here’s an interesting Kickstarter project looking for some (crowd) funding: a Caltech scientist is looking to raise $ 50,000 to create “nanoart”. Kickstarter is an online website which allows users to crowd source funding for their projects, and is now listing a project from Caltech physicist Sameer Walavalkar, to create silicon nanostructures which are pictures, text, and portraits, which are carved directly into silicon. Walavalkar, who is a postdoc at Caltech in physics, says that he wants to help people blend blend science, technology and art in the project, the final result of which will be a personal, etched chip–and a mounted, high resolution, scanning electron image of the etching–the only way to actually view that art after it is produced. The project is $ 554 towards the $ 50,000 goal for the project. Walavalkar’s project is not entirely unprecedented–chip designers have long embarked on “chip graffiti”, placing drawings, words, initials, and other features on unused seiconductor space–but it appears the project is one of the few to offer the ability for anybody to get their own art etched onto a chip.
