Every academic hardware prototype has a dirty secret: its software stack is a ticking time bomb. If you have built a novel optical metrology tool or a custom nanoparticle deposition system on an academic bench, there is a near-certainty that it runs on LabVIEW. The graphical wiring paradigm is intuitive …

In the world of niche scientific instrumentation, every product is supposedly unique. Each custom metrology tool, each novel spectroscopy platform, each bespoke nanoparticle deposition system is built as if it were the first instrument ever constructed. This is the expensive fiction that keeps deep tech hardware trapped in the lab …
