Coffee ring stain erks Scientist

[Uncle Gizmo]

A scientist who was so so incensed when asked to clean up his mess in the kitchen, decided to eliminate coffee stains.

After years of experimentation and spending millions of dollars he finally came up with a solution:-

How to get rid of the coffee-stain effect

The coffee-stain effect is a well-known effect in physics and daily life in which a dark-colored edge remains when a fluid containing particles evaporates. This is caused by an "avalanche" of particles moving to the outer edge, University of Twente scientists showed in a past study. In inkjet...

NG, surely you can appreciate the severity of this dilema.

A company I worked for had a subscription to an online tracking service. I left the company, but I kept the password! It remained active for several years and was very useful!

Scientist could have saved all that money by putting his coffee and 3D printing on a saucer.

Sometimes you actually get interesting things answered this way. Take a look at these: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Ig_Nobel_Prize_winners

@Anakardian, thank you for that link to the IgNobel Prizes. Some of them are REALLY in the "WTF were they thinking" category. Some are merely dumb, but some are ASTOUNDINGLY dumb.

2019 - Economics: Habip Gedik, Timothy A. Voss, and Andreas Voss, for testing which country's paper money is best at transmitting dangerous bacteria

2018 - Reproductive Medicine: John Barry, Bruce Blank, and Michel Boileau, for using postage stamps to test whether the male sexual organ is functioning properly—as described in their study "Nocturnal Penile Tumescence Monitoring With Stamps."

2018 - Medicine: Marc Mitchell and David Wartinger, for using roller coaster rides to try to hasten the passage of kidney stones.

(That last one seems to me to be misplaced as I would have thought it as a good way to handle constipation.)

You've got to wonder how they even got the grants by which they funded this kind of research.

using postage stamps to test whether the male sexual organ is functioning properly

I presume you lick the stamp and apply it, go to sleep, and if you wake up in the morning and the stamp has become a label, everything is fine??

Just hope that the wife/girlfriend hasn't detached something and mailed it.
