What's the deal with chips?
Chips are found in the tech we use everyday, so what are they? Also, how broadband cables could be used to detect earthquakes.
Tech Life explores the chips found in everyday tech, and why governments are competing to make them. We hear how scientists in New Zealand are turning underground broadband cables into a source of earthquake detection. Also in this programme how simulation tech is helping a South African HIV organisation reach more people and how AI could transform your next work out.
