An ion selective electrode is tool used in analytical chemistry used to determine the concentration of a given ion in a solution.
The method can determine the concentration of one ion even if there are multiple different types of ion in the solution, although in some cases this can alter the results. This is done with the help of a selective membrane that only allows certain ions through.
One cool example application mentioned on LibreTexts[ref] is the measurement of fluorine concentration in water. They explain that fluorine is added to the drinking water supply in some countries to help protect people's teeth, and so you want to be able to measure as part of quality control to make sure it is being added in correct the quantities.
The method requires calibrating with calibrating solutions which takes one hour, but once you are calibrated you just stick the sensor into the analyte and get readings in a minute without any expendables. The membrane seems to be a bit fragile which requires care, but overall it looks like a convenient method.

Max Delbrück is quoted as saying:Nice way to put it.
When Thomas F. Anderson had started taking and publishing the first phage electron microscope images:
Now, Anderson later wrote, "We could really see the phage as tadpole shaped particles, whose heads ranged from 600 to 800 A [...] Anderson wrote. "I remember particularly the reaction of Alfred Hershey's teacher, kindly old Professor J. J. Bronfenbrenner, who had worked on bacteriophages for many years at Washington University in St. Louis. ... When he first saw our pictures ... he clapped the palm of his hand to his forehead and exclaimed, 'Mein Gott! They've got tails!'"
Nice quote from Pauling's
The requirements are stringent ones. [...]. In order that the principles of modem structural chemistry may be applied with the power that their reliability justifies, molecular models must be constructed with great accuracy. For example, molecular models on the scale of 2.5 cm 1 angstrom unit, have to be made with a precision better than 0.01 cm.

If you have a useful project, why would you ever restrict its development to a specific timeframe and with a specific set of contributors?
Just put your project on GitHub and promote it to try and get users and contributors instead!
Instead of announcing organizing hackathons, people should just curate forums where people with similar interests can talk to one another instead, to find new projects that might interest one another.
First we got a Thule Chariot Cab two seater in our hands: www.thule.com/en-bg/bike-trailers/bike-trailers-for-kids/thule-chariot-cab-_-10204021 It's humongous, double seater only. Folded: 110 x 80 x 46 cm folded, 16.5 kg.
Thule Chariot Cross double: www.thule.com/en-gb/bike-trailers/bike-trailers-for-kids/thule-chariot-cross-double-_-10202026. Folded: 87 x 80 x 37.5 cm, 14.5 kg
Thule Chariot Cross single: www.thule.com/en-gb/bike-trailers/bike-trailers-for-kids/thule-chariot-cross-single-_-10202025. Folded: 87 x 65 x 37.5 cm, 13.8 kg
Thule Chariot Courier: www.thule.com/en-si/bike-trailers/bike-trailers-for-dog-and-cargo/thule-courier-_-10102001. This seems like an older version of the Cab. Folded: 99 x 74 x 32 cm. 16kg.
Burley Honey Bee burley.com/en-in/products/honey-bee. Double only: folded: 96.3 x 74.2 x 22.6 cm. 13 kg. 500 pounds new on Amazon www.amazon.co.uk/Burley-Honey-Seat-Trailer-Stroller/dp/B0BW21V26L, a used one for sale at: www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/575427528791792/ for 125. Got my hands on a new one. Felt good. Definitely much cheaper build than the Thule Chariot Cab, but way smaller. Still a bit large for the shed, but at least it stands a chance!

The hole point of Intel SGX is to allow users to be certain that a certain code was executed in a remove server that they rent but don't own, like AWS. Even if AWS wanted to be malicious, they would still not be able to modify your read your input, output nor modify the program.
The way this seems to work is as follows.
Each chip has its own unique private key embedded in the chip. There is no way for software to read that private key, only the hardware can read it, and Intel does not know that private key, only the corrsponding public one. The entire safety of the system relies on this key never ever leaking to anybody, even if they have the CPU in their hands. A big question is if there are physical forensic methods, e.g. using electron microscopes, that would allow this key to be identified.
Then, using that private key, you can create enclaves.
Then, non-secure users can give inputs to that enclave, and as an output, they get not only the output result, but also a public key certificate based on the internal private key.
This certificates states:and that can then be verified online on Intel's website, since they keep a list of public keys. This service is called attestation.
So, if the certificate is verified, you can be certain that a your input was ran by a specific code.
Additionally:
- you can public key encrypt your input to the enclave with the public key, and then ask the enclave to send output back encrypted to your key. This way the hardware owner cannot read neither the input not the output
- all data stored on RAM is encrypted by the enclave, to prevent attacks that rely on using a modified RAM that logs data
