  • I think your title is misleading. It was a joint effort between a DOE lab and a university lab Chinese lab.

    That aside nothing to me really seems to indicate a relationship between the tin catalysts for this and the euv droplets beyond they’re both tin, and small. For euv, they need to be propelled through the air (and liquid? [might be done by the laser, idr]), but this technology it sounds like they’re solids on a substrate.

    Being able to make tin particles a controlled size that small may help euv, but I think it’s a bit of a spurious connection.

    SCUBA, LASER, JPEG, ROM, etc. all break the “pronounced as the nested word” argument.

    I’m down for people to pronounce it however they please (assuming it’s recognizable as gif), but the post-hoc rationalizations trying to prove their side as the one true pronunciation are silly. The only rationalization that makes any sense to me is the “creator pronounces it as jif”, but language doesn’t work that way so even that doesn’t matter as far as “one true pronunciation” goes.
