Long fibre carbon nanotubes shown to be carcinogenic

Long-fibre carbon nanotubes shown to be carcinogenic

Nanotechnology plays an indispensable role in modern materials research and new products. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) enable production of novel materials with amazing properties. Progress is however not without risk and a recent study on mice has shown that certain types of CNTs have similar carcinogenic properties as asbestos fibers.  So far there is no evidence of risk

Analyzing the vintage 8008 processor from die photos

Analyzing the vintage 8008 processor from die photos

The revolutionary Intel 8008 microprocessor is 45 years old today (March 13, 2017), so I figured it’s time for a blog post on reverse-engineering its internal circuits. One of the interesting things about old computers is how they implemented things in unexpected ways, and the 8008 is no exception. Compared to modern architectures, one unusual
