But beyond those impressive figures, the sector serves as an innovation beacon for design in much the same way that Silicon Valley in California acts as a catalyst for technological invention and a magnet for expertise. “The analogy is appropriate when you look at how this area, starting with...
Silicon Republic wrote a lovely article on our work helping start-ups build computer vision applications.I made a 3D voxelization of one of my employees in order to win an argument with him 🙂 He is both sharp and argumentative and I love debating inconsequential things like hamming distance ...
My biggest task was to build a small team so my parents would not have to be at the mill day to day. We hired a talented young jack-of-all-trades named Forrest, and an experienced Sales Manager named Nick. They’ve stepped in and have made tremendous improvements in SingCore. I helpe...
The manufacturer guarantees that the kettle is made out of 1mm thick copper and they have an authenticity test program. After receiving the teapot, if for any reason you suspect that it is not copper, drill a hole anywhere on the teapot’s body and check the hole. You will see 1 mm th...
From the everyday objects in our homes to the most extraordinary new materials that will shape our future, Stuff Matters reveals the inner workings of the man-made world, and the miracles of craft, design, engineering and ingenuity that surround us every day. From the tea-cup to the jet ...
Silicon photo-multiplier I’m using the 3×3 mm BROADCOM AFBR-S4N44P014M SiPM. These are put in direct contact with the scintillator inside the wrapping. SiPMs act like diodes: when placed in reverse with around 40 volts, a small amount of current creates a small voltage spike when a ...

Back in the early Apple silicon era, must-have Mac audio tool got a serious downgrade via a new installation process that required many steps and multiple reboots. The problem wasn’t really addressed until earlier this year, when Apple rolled out a bunch of audio permissions that allowed Rog...
Each cell generates a few volts of electricity, so a solar panel's job is to combine the energy produced by many cells to make a useful amount of electric current and voltage. Virtually all of today's solar cells are made from slices of silicon (one of the most common chemical elements...
A high elongation is crucial if the building is likely to move or be made of flexible steel. A low elongation will allow water to seep into the structure. Liquid waterproofing is the best option for interiors, offering good coverage and the lowest VOC content. It also provides the most ...
