This video is a tutorial on performing O2 plasma treatment of PDMS using a microwave oven. The demonstration includes how to set up the treatment, as well as testing the hydrophobicity of the treated PDMS.

This video is a tutorial of how to create silicon photovoltaics through spin-on dopants. The steps of the process include applying the dopant, diffusion doping, and making electrical contact for the finished device.

This video is a demonstration of three tests on microfluidic devices on the MIT logo and a fluid flow visualization.

This video is a tutorial of how to prepare nickel-doped PDMS. A series of tests of the thermal, electrical, and magnetic properties of different concentrations of doping are shown.

This video is a tutorial of how to examine the piezoelectric elements in a lighter and a buzzer. The steps of disassembly as well as testing and exploration are shown.

This video is a tutorial of preparing a test pattern through a process of curing the PDMS, opening the microfluidic inlet and outlet ports, cleaning the PDMS, bonding it to glass, and using corona treatment.

This video is a tutorial on how to assemble and use a spectrometer using a CD diffraction grating and cellphone camera. Sample spectra of a white LED and red laser are also shown.
