Hello Good People! Well, this is an odd question, but... Many years ago, I saw an article in Scientific American about someone, somewhere who was going to etch a gas chromatograph device into silicon, I guess for miniaturization purposes. Does a modern day, contemporary, device such as this exist?? I dropped Sci. American about the time they had a cover story emblazoned with the notion that protons 'might' appear/create themselves, 'spontaneously' in 'space', even I knew this was wrong. Well, colledge physics was confusing and I never did pick up this magazine again to see if this little machine had been created. So,if you know of such a thing, please let me know where I might find something like this, I want to hook it up to a pic to sort of make an analysis machine, --thanks -- http://www.piclist.com hint: The list server can filter out subtopics (like ads or off topics) for you.
