POV: DR. SOFIA MARTINEZ - MATERIALS LAB - 3:15 PM
Sofia stood in front of the molecular beam epitaxy chamber with her team of six materials scientists.
"We're skipping the virtual simulation," she said. "The boss already ran this through that software. The theory is solid. We're here to prove it works in real life."
She loaded the thermoelectric material procedures into their manufacturing system.
David pulled up the AI assistant. "Dr. Martinez, the procedures are incredibly detailed. Every step is specified down to exact atomic measurements."
"Good. That means less room for mistakes. Let's follow it exactly."
The MBE chamber hummed to life. Source materials loaded into containers—bismuth, tellurium, antimony, cobalt, nickel. All precisely measured.
"Chamber at proper vacuum," David reported. "Temperature stable at 450°C."
"Beginning deposition," Sofia said.
