I know this take has been done a million times, but like…computing and electronics are really, truly, unquestionably, real-life magic.

Electricity itself is an energy field that we manipulate to suit our needs, provided by universal forces that until relatively recently were far beyond our understanding. In many ways it still is.

The fact that this universal force can be translated into heat or motion, and that we've found ways to manipulate these things, is already astonishing. But it gets more arcane.

LEDs work by creating a differential in electron energy levels between—checks notes—ah, yes, SUPER SPECIFIC CRYSTALS. Different types of crystals put off different wavelengths and amounts of light. Hell, blue LEDs weren't even commercially viable until the 90's because of how specific and finicky the methods and materials required were to use. So to summarize: LEDs are a contained Light spell that works by running this universal energy through crystals in a specific way.

Then we get to computers. which are miraculous for a number of reasons. But I'd like to draw your attention specifically to what the silicon die of a microprocessor looks like:

Are you seeing what I'm seeing? Let me share some things I feel are kinda similar looking:

We're putting magic inscriptions in stone to provide very specific channels for this world energy to flow through. We then communicate into these stones using arcane "programming" languages as a means of making them think, communicate, and store information for us.

We have robots, automatons, using this energy as a means of rudimentarily understanding the world and interacting with it. We're moving earth and creating automatons, having them perform everything from manufacturing (often of other magic items) to warfare.

And we've found ways to manipulate this "electrical" energy field to transmit power through the "photonic" field. I already mentioned LEDs, but now I'm talking radio waves, long-distance communication warping and generating invisible light to send messages to each other. This is just straight-up telepathy, only using magic items instead of our brains.

And lasers. Fucking lasers. We know how to harness these same two energies to create directed energy beams powerful enough to slice through materials without so much as touching them.

We're using crystals, magic inscriptions, and languages only understood by a select few, all interfacing with a universal field of energy that we harness through alchemical means.

Electricity is magic. Computation is wizardry. Come delve into the arcane with me.

Here's my ultimate offer: Layla in her cyberworld verse being a holographic idol and a jeweller that creates accessories infused with advanced technology ( such as sensors that monitor vital signs, or microprocessors that allow the jewelry to communicate with other devices in case of emergencies. They'd all have the shape of blue crystals. )

These are the beating heart of many electronics. Oscillators create a steady clock signal by applying a specific frequency to the vibrations of crystals. From regulating microprocessors to facilitating radio transmission, this timing signal is crucial for a multitude of tasks.

6. Light-Emitting Diodes (LEDs):

Incredibly flexible, LEDs aren't limited to glitzy gadgets. They are perfect for indicator lights, displays, and backlighting since they transform electrical energy into light. They have a long lifespan and consume very little power.

7. Integrated Circuits (ICs):

Integrated circuits (ICs), sometimes called chips, are considered the most important invention in the electronic field. They incorporate millions of transistors and other components on a single silicon chip to create complicated functionality. Integral circuits (ICs) are the central processing units (CPUs) and memory chips (MCUs) of contemporary electronics.

8. Electromechanical Components (Switches and Relays):

Components connect electrical and physical parts, known as electromechanical components (such as switches and relays). Relays enable high-power applications as electrically controlled switches, while switches allow you to manually control the current flow.

9. Connectors:

Connectors, the essential component of PCB construction, guarantee secure connections between various on-board components and any external devices you may be using. The correct connector, whether a basic header or a complicated socket, is critical for the operation and integrity of the signal.

10. Transformers:

An electrical device that alters the alternating current voltage. It has a magnetic iron core and two or more primary and secondary coils that wind around it. A transformer can maintain the electrical power balance while converting the input voltage into the needed output voltage using the electromagnetic induction principle. Power systems, electronic devices, communication networks, and manufacturing all use transformers heavily.

Choosing the Right Components for Your PCB

Periodic Table Championship: Round 2, Day 3, Aluminum vs. Hafnium

The fourth match of day 3 of round 2 of the championship has element 13, aluminum, facing off against element 72, hafnium. Last round, aluminum easily defeated rutherfordium with 83.1% of the votes, while hafnium had an ever so slightly less decisive match, beating ruthenium with 75% of the votes. A reminder of our challengers:

Aluminum is a soft, light, post-transition metal element that crystalizes in the face-centered cubic structure at room temperature. It is the third most abundant element in the Earth’s crust and an extremely well-known metal, enough so that the global production of aluminum exceeds that of any other metal except for iron. As a lightweight element, aluminum is used for transportation, packaging, household items, construction, machinery and a wide variety of other applications. Its name comes from the Latin alum, the mineral from which it was collected.

Hafnium is a ductile, corrosion resistant transition metal that crystalizes in the hexagonal crystal system at room temperature. It is incredibly similar to zirconium chemically, enough so that they are usually found together and are difficult to separate. Hafnium is primarily used in the manufacture of control rods for nuclear reactors, but is also used in alloying and microprocessors. It was named after the Latin for its place of discovery: Hafnia, the Latin for Copenhagen.
