A KGB spy returns to Moscow with an IC made by Texas Instruments. "Copy it" says the Soviet boss. Copy what? The SN51x - just a collection of NANDs and NORs apparently, but, as has been shown , that's all you need to build a computer 😊 I have frequently found it helpful in my own thinking to consider that fundamental understanding for many solid state problems is achieved when four questions can be answered: What are the atoms involved and how are they arranged? How did this arrangement come into being? How does this arrangement lead to certain mechanisms of electronic and atomic motion? How do these mechanisms give rise to the observed properties?

Lee Bailey. That's a quiet thread through my curiosity. It's also a theme, in some form, of every one of my movies. The stories touch the whole range of the human experience, I hope, but the central struggle is often about achievement or the struggle for achievement. What does success look like? What does success feel like? Isaac Asimov actually wrote more non-fiction books than fiction books. He wrote seven books about mathematics, 68 books on astronomy; he wrote a biochemistry textbook. He wrote books titled "Photosynthesis" and "Neutrino: Ghost Particle of ...
