» Three-hundred tons of liquid iron are simmering at over 1400<br />
degrees Celsius in a ladle. A lance-shaped sensor is dipped into<br />
the metal, <strong>and</strong>, in just a matter of seconds, it measures the<br />
temperature or the content <strong>and</strong> undesired components, such as<br />
sulfur. Without having to send it to an analytical laboratory. I<br />
am especially proud of the sulfur sensor, because no one has<br />
been able to accurately measure the sulfur levels in liquid iron<br />
before. It really speeds up steel production. I now want to measure<br />
phosphorus directly in molten steel. Conventional wisdom says<br />
that it won’t work, but that motivates me. Because the difference<br />
between › it doesn’t work ‹ <strong>and</strong> › it works ‹ is the same as › not<br />
trying ‹ <strong>and</strong> › doing ‹.«<br />
