Beware of the #dangers of #Silicon #Dioxide!

- Silicon Dioxide is a side product of dehydration of #asbestos
- Inhaling Silicon Dioxide causes #silicosis which is a condition that can fatally damage the lungs
- Silicon Dioxide is commonly used to contain #DihydrogenMonoxide
- Silicon Dioxide is a substance frequently warned about on packages
- Silicon Dioxide is used to manufacture #5G endpoint devices
- Silicon Dioxide is used by the #military to direct the effect of #TerahertzRadiation at the intended target
- Silicon Dioxide is a chemical known to the State of #California to cause #cancer.
- Silicon Dioxide is an essential component of #Molotov Cocktails
- Substantial amounts of Silicon Dioxide are often among trash washed up by the sea
- Silicon Dioxide, even in form of medium sized crystals, is a known "chicken killer"
- Silicon Dioxide is, as known for a long time, where the #foolish man built his home
- Silicon Dioxide is a commonly used extinguishing agent for Class D fires
- Contact with Silicon Dioxide often causes bleeding and injuries up to and including death
- Silicon Dioxide is used to enhance the effect of abrasive blasting, and can even chip away at steel
- Silicon Dioxide is often shipped alongside other dangerous chemicals such as #SulfuricAcid
- Just small quantities of Silicon Dioxide in your bed can cause #insomnia

Despite all this, even today Silicon Dioxide is still used as a building material for homes! #SiliconDioxide #conspiracy

fronde contre l'Éducation nationale 'gros' contrat à Microsoft

> Hexatrust, l'association professionnelle des acteurs français et européens de la cybersécurité et du cloud de confiance, pousse un coup de gueule contre le ministère de l'Éducation nationale qui vient d'attribuer un marché public de 74 millions € à Microsoft. De son côté, le député Philippe Latombe demande son annulation.

Hey hey, you thought there be no #nakeddiefriday today? Here we go!

Today's entry is an Infineon/Siemens SAB-C167CR-LM, a microcontroller based on the C166 core. The die is in pleasant-looking pastel colours. :-) The die has pin 1 in top left corner. I'll do a short thread.

Many thanks to @debauer for supplying the samples!

I'd rather want a #honest #MSRP than a effectivley unavailable one.

  • OFC I don't expect a board partner to accept a margin of just $4, but it would be easier to accept a 5% higher MSRP than having no stock at MSRP.

And yes, I blame #AMD, #nvidia and #intel doing #Greedflation against #consumers because I'm very certain they don't sell #silicon at cost for a fixed price per unit depending on the order size, but rather charge a cut of the sold model (similar to #ARM does nowadays for their #licensing)...

#OrganicPhotovoltaics: the path to lightweight, flexible and transparent #SolarCells

Researchers at #HiroshimaUniversity are creating organic photovoltaics that are sustainable and offer many benefits over traditional #silicon-based solar panels.

"Itaru Osaka’s story with organic photovoltaics began as a PhD student working in the research group of Hideki Shirakawa at the University of Tsukuba in Japan. In the 1970s, Shirakawa, along with American scientists Alan Heeger and Alan MacDiarmid, found a way to make plastics that can conduct electricity — a discovery that won them the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2000.

"These days Osaka has his own research group at Hiroshima University that is working with these ‘conjugated polymers’ to make carbon-based, ‘organic’ photovoltaic cells. In contrast to typical silicon-based cells, which are relatively bulky, heavy, rigid and opaque, the organic alternatives are flexible and transparent enough to be placed where existing cells cannot, such as on the walls of buildings, the glass of greenhouses and even on the sides of tents.

"Significantly, their fabrication is expected to be cheaper and consume less energy than silicon-based photovoltaics."

Ele Willoughby, PhD

Years ago, I was asked to make a print for a missing element in a gallery show of the Periodic Table Printmaking Project, which gathered prints by different artists for each element . This small linocut represents the chemical element Silicon, with its diamond cubic crystal structure shown in silver. Its symbol, atomic number and a couple of its forms are shown in lilac. Silicon is common in the Earth’s crust 🧵1/n

As described, this small linocut represents the chemical element Silicon, with its diamond cubic crystal structure shown in silver as a collection of balls. Its symbol, atomic number and a couple of its forms are printed on top of the silver layer in lilac. This shows quartz crystals in each corner. Four radiolarians circle the symbol for Silicon on the periodic table. The print is one of an edition of 14, each 6” x 6” (15.2 cm x 15.2 cm) printed on Japanese kozo paper.

Going live in under an hour for the open source silicon stream #6!

I plan to do a low voltage experiment to see what happens with a design running with a low core voltage.

We have recently got some new chip decap images from Texplained, so I'll take a look at them.

And following on from stream #4 I'll take a look at a level shifter designed by Sylvain Munaut
