An exciting year

Hello, everyone. This 2018 has been a very exciting year. The openQCM project is growing beyond our expectations. We have launched 2 new devices and are working on the development of new scientific tools, which I hope will help the world of research in a completely new way. For this reason, we have temporary neglected our blog, although we have reported all our developments on Researchgate. Now that some of the most challenging work has been done, we can finally publish a series of posts dedicated to the complex development of the new Python software. Vittorio, who was personally involved in the development of the software, will describe every step and the updates that will take place in the near future. It comes from a constant exchange of with the scientific community and is constantly being developed.we would like to thank warmly all the researchers who have helped us. I hope that this will be of interest to you. Thanks again to all (Raffaele and Marco)

openQCM the benefit and challenge of an open hardware project

Hi everybody,

This is my first post on the openQCM blog, so I introduce myself. I am Marco, Scientific Coordinator at Novaetech S.r.l. and co-founder of the openQCM project – the first open source quartz crystal microbalance – which I developed alongside Raffaele Battaglia, founder of Novaetech and the project’s creator. Above all I am a lucky man because I really enjoy my work. Continue reading “openQCM the benefit and challenge of an open hardware project”
