Jack’s News

We Moved!

Greetings, everyone. I am excited to announce that BASE Scientific LLC has partnered with Resonant Devices LLC and has relocated to a 20,000-square-foot laboratory situated in a commercial district in Ashland, Oregon. I have been actively configuring spaces for research and development, as well as for prototype design and testing. Additionally, I have been investing in the necessary equipment for all the technologies listed on our website and developing new technologies that we are very enthusiastic about.

I will post pictures in May 2026 once everything is organized. Thank you all for your support, encouragement, and enthusiasm for our vision of orchestrating the fourth state of matter.

In this photo, I am currently configuring a nitrogen gas soldering station in my first laboratory above the garage. My first experience with contactless soldering was during my work on military contracts in the 1980s. An early forgotten technique, thankfully, Hakko does sell these systems. I do prefer the older technology, where nitrogen gas passed through a glass spiral tube with heating elements within it.

Hello everyone, I wanted to inform you that my website hosting provider, Media Temple, was sold to GoDaddy over a year ago. Unfortunately, my website did not successfully transfer to the new servers, and as a result, my entire website, along with the backups, disappeared. This was the only instance in which I didn’t use a third-party backup program, and as a result, over 500 hours of content are gone.

I am in the process of rebuilding my website, but my focus has shifted toward developing lighting solutions for home and indoor horticulture. With the changing climate, it’s vital to create horticulture solutions that aren’t reliant on the weather. Light sterilization, which was successfully developed in the seventies using ultraviolet light, is a promising solution. My father was part of a team at GTE Sylvania Lighting that developed lamps for this application. However, since 2020, I’ve become aware of the politicization of COVID and, more generally, of diseases. The media has portrayed vaccinations as the only long-term solution, and most people didn’t even consider light sterilization as an option. It’s unclear where we stand today regarding infectious diseases. Once we’re fully funded, we will research and produce a safe light spectrum for sterilization. 

In the past, big light bulb companies such as GTE Sylvania, General Electric (founded by Edison), and Philips dominated the market, making it tough for smaller businesses like mine to manufacture lighting. However, things have changed, and smaller companies now have more opportunities to enter the market. I recall my father facing challenges with his personal lamp designs, and he had to prove that he invented his lights in his home laboratory through litigation with GTE. Eventually, he gave up the patent rights to his sterilization lamp for free to India and Costa Rica.

I am constantly inspired by the brilliant minds out in the world. On the left-hand column of this page, I will be posting articles that support BASE Scientific’s vision either directly or indirectly. Additionally, I will be sharing short videos to clarify our advanced light-spectrum technologies, which have evolved from my father’s vision. With modern manufacturing technologies, we are finally able to bring his vision to life. My father had an innate connection to nature and, over the years spent developing lamp technologies for GTE Lighting, realized that a simpler, more elegant approach to engineering illumination was possible.

Be sure to check back frequently, as I will update the content as events unfold. Additionally, a quarterly newsletter will be available starting in May 2026.

I appreciate your ongoing support.
