Shrinking the computer chip is one of humanity’s greatest scientific feats. It has enabled the processing power that has digitalised almost every aspect of our lives.
To understand how the latest chips work and where technological breakthroughs are being made, we need to travel beyond objects measured on familiar scales.

It’s a pet peeve of mine when people describe scientific progress as a miracle.
It’s not a miracle. It’s the result of a ton of work from many, many people. It’s also something that if you research it, you can probably understand it…at least on a basic level.
Semiconductor manufacturing is hard, but it’s something that humans are very good at, and we figured it out by ourselves.
