“ #China has by far the largest #Tungsten #deposits and #production in the world … (At one point during the civil war of the 1930s, Mao Zedong’s brother ran a tungsten mine, and the element provided 70% of Communist Party revenues.)” open.substack.com/pub/adamtooz...

Kaz Resources might be traded publicly if #TrumpAdmin approves a "reverse merger" replacing Skyline Builders on #Nasdaq .
Investors will profit by trading stock before #tungsten comes out of ground. #USA gov't backing "often pushes up the stock price, making money for early-stage investors who exit at the right time."

~"The #Trump brothers' ties to the #Kazakhstan deal started at their father's tower in NYC...where Dominari Securities...had set up its offices after Trump's first stint in the White House ended."
Such proximity to the Trump Org's HQ "afforded Dominari execs the chance to form friendships (and then business relationships) with Trump's sons."

Уникальный смартфон из 2002'ого с процессором m68k и GPU: инженерное чудо Palm i710
Мы все с вами привыкли, что начиная с 2000 года, на рынке мобильных процессоров доминирует ARM. Сегодня устройства на базе данной архитектуры окружают нас везде: смартфоны, колонки, вейпы, часы и многие другие устройства. Однако раньше всё было не так и когда-то основным конкурентом ARM была легендарная компания Motorola... В 90-х годах, Motorola m68k был знаковым процессором. Он использовался во десятках легендарных устройств: компьютерах Mac, телефонах StarTAC и КПК от компании Palm. И в 2002 году, Palm представила свой первый коммуникатор — i710, который сочетал в себе классический процессор из 90-х и современный радиомодуль. Сегодня мы с вами разберем это чудо инженерной мысли, изучим его схемотехнику и компонентную базу, и узнаем, на что был способен этот красавец на практике. Если любите настоящие технарские статьи — жду вас под катом :)

A New Computer Chip Could Finally Withstand The Hellscape of #Venus
The new type of memory device that kept working reliably at 700C. That is hotter than molten lava. Hotter than surface of Venus, which has defeated every lander ever sent there, destroying electronics within hours of touchdown. Team built theirs from #tungsten, the metal with the highest melting point of any element, combined with a ceramic called hafnium oxide, and with a layer of graphene at the bottom.

@iran“#Tungsten supplies are running out fast. The US and Israel’s aggression to Iran has used up huge amounts of weapons and missiles. This has caused a 12% jump in military tungsten use this year — a demand that the world simply cannot meet right now.
🔸Why Tungsten Is So Important
Tungsten is a super-hard, heavy metal. Militaries need it for armor-piercing shells that smash through tank armor at high speed. It has the highest melting point of any metal — 3,422°C — so it is used in jet engines and parts that get extremely hot. It is also mixed into steel to make it stronger at high temperatures and more resistant to wear”

🔩 **美国的钨困境**
半导体+军备+核聚变 = 钨需求爆炸,但美国80%依赖中国进口。
关键数据:
• 美国每年需进口约10,000吨钨(2025年基准)
• 按保守估计,10年后需求可能暴涨至17,700吨(+77%)
• 若核聚变技术成真,美国将需要与中国同等规模的钨产量钨的用途:
🔸 60% → 切削/钻探工具(钨碳化物超硬)
🔸 10% → 弹药(穿甲弹、铟)
🔸 5% → 半导体(纳米级连接填充)
🔸 新兴:光伏切割硅片 + 核聚变等离子体壁讽刺的是:美国本土其实遍地都是钨矿,但"储量"≠"能挖"——资本要的是经济可开采,地质存在没用。
结论很赤裸:哪怕技术上不缺钨,产业政策不跟上,只能继续当中国的韭菜。
