I got my first crystal radio set when I was 9. It’s basically a diode that can detect radio waves, and I played around with it. But I never could get it working until a radio repairman who lived next door helped me set it up.

June 13, 2016
When Credit Lyonnais built itself a grand new office near the Opera in the center of Paris in the 1870s, it used a piece of the Louvre as a model and commissioned Gustave Eiffel’s atelier to design its soaring glass canopy.
Even today, the building remains a big draw for new generations of engineers. Except this breed doesn’t use steel beams and glass to shape the world. They write software to control machines.
