Visual explainer: Inside the miracle of modern chip manufacturing After coming up against the limits of physics, scientists are rethinking chip architecture like never before ig.ft.com/microchips/

NEW: Our latest visual story explains the miracle of modern chip manufacturing — and why in the race for performance and profits engineers are rethinking chip architecture like never before W/Lucy Rodgers Dan Clark Irene de la Torre Arenas Sam Learner Bob Haslett 👉 ft.com/microchips

Scientists are turning to vertical, tower-like construction and rethinking packaging. Companies are bundling together chips with different functions to work like single electronic brains. Some manufacturers are untangling power wiring and interconnects 👉 ft.com/microchips

Global chip sales are soaring, but to stay ahead of the pack the right bets must be made. The technological reputation and financial standing of manufacturers and governments depends on it Ft.com/microchips

The extendscript debugger extension for Visual Studio Code really could do with a rethink. Scripting illustrator really shouldn’t be this cumbersome.

I hate working with dates in JavaScript

Sun is shining and a week off. So of course my back goes completely out. I can even sit upright ATM. Just venting the frustration

And if you've come for the stories about crocodile-hunting, POW-camp-sabotaging war hero Bill Phillips, stay for the work my colleagues Bob Haslett Alan Smith and others have done bringing the machine to life. Astonishing: ft.com/content/547a3f…

See how we brought Bill Phillips’s machine back to life in VR. It wouldn’t have been possible without the enthusiasm of Alan Smith FT colleagues. AllanMcRobie generosity with his time. Or the fantastic work of WongDoody Europe on.ft.com/3Xy22eU via Financial Times

7/ In 2016, shortly after joining the FT, I found out my colleague Bob Haslett just as mad about the machine as I was. Bob resolved to build a digital version in javascript. I felt it was a tad ambitious for Bob's FIRST EVER CODING PROJECT...

13/ This is the amazing Professor Allan McRobie with Bob Haslett and WongDoody team. Allan demonstrated it, and allowed us to measure and capture every nuance of its analogue beauty.

14/ WongDoody built a 3D model of the machine in Maya and imported it into Unity to simulate the flow of pink water through the machine's veins.

15/ As soon as we brought that into Apple Vision Pro, everything made perfect, mad, bonkers sense. It means I can drop a working Mk II Phillips machine into my living room and play around with it. Goosebump-inducing.

17/ How Bill Phillips, 'the Indiana Jones of economics', came to be a student at LSE in 1949 is a whole other story. Tim Harford can you tell you all about it and you can read more from me about our digital version in our free-to-read FT weekend package ft.com/money-machine
