My Husband, the Published Scientist

Let's all give it up for Aaron and congratulate him on getting published!!! His first publication, "Mechanical and tribological investigations of sol–gel derived SiO2 optical coatings," (whew) was in the science journal Wear, Volume 265, Issues 3-4, 31 July 2008, Pages 411-416 in print, and full of sciencey-goodness.
We're proud of you, Aaron.

what it's about, for those of you without subscriptions to the publishing service, is this:

-transparent, hard, thin ceramic coatings for transparent electronics (touch screens, particularly)

-measuring how hard those coatings are

- measuring how durable they are using two different methods, one of which i developed on my own

- comparing the measurements of hardness and durability

that's it, nothing very fancy. no weird equations, no weird chemical formulas, no complicated diagrams... it's about as simple as science can get.

mmmm...hmmm, even by scientist standards you're a true geek, Aaron
Congratulations on the paper!!!
