Shocking Secrets of Our Technology: Discovering the Hidden Crystals in devices we use every day

Did you realize that all of our tech depends on crystals? Name any electronic tech you own – if you take away all the crystals in it, your device would be dead. In fact though few people know it, the harnessing of the power of crystals is what makes semi-conductors possible. There are a number of different crystals that are essential to our tech, but one stands out above all. This crystal powers almost all our transistors and IC chips. Few of you have ever seen one of these crystals. Want to take a look at the kind of crystal that makes our modern world possible? Silicon, more often called single-crystal silicon, is the base material for silicon-based discrete components and integrated circuits used in virtually all modern electronic equipment, as well as some types of solar cells. We make tens of thousands of tons of this stuff annually.
