THE CURIOSITY BEHIND THE CLIPS
Good science starts
with a question.
An independent science channel from South Australia, for people who want to understand how things work.
Things I didn’t understand, explained simply.
Aussie Science Clips is an independent project by Brendan Faulds, made in South Australia. It begins with the questions a curious non-expert actually asks, then works towards an answer from first principles.
Why can sand think? What is actually inside a chip? How did we get from one transistor to data centres full of GPUs? The aim is to make those ideas understandable without losing the science along the way.
You don’t need a technical background. Just an interest in what’s going on under the surface.

Silicon: from sand to supercomputers.
The first series follows the material, ideas, and inventions behind modern computing. Its ten-part roadmap moves from semiconductors and doping to diodes, transistors, integrated circuits, logic, memory, and the processors behind today’s technology.
The episode gallery links directly to published videos on YouTube. The series roadmap shows the wider journey.
Follow the sources.
