Smaller may be better when it comes to transistors. But what if the next leap in computing is embedding geometries that compute through resonance itself? Enter quartz crystals. They’re already extraordinary: stable oscillators, coherent frequency regulators, piezoelectric transducers. But viewed another way, they are structured resonant manifolds. Traditional silicon computing pushes electrons through etched pathways. Crystalline computing could eventually work more through: wave interference, phase coupling, standing resonances, topological information flow. Less “current moving through wires.” More geometry constraining the possible states information can occupy. Which is interesting because the same structures keep reappearing everywhere: helices, lattices, toroids, braids, crystal symmetries. Biology uses them. Plasma uses them. Photonics uses them. Even AI latent spaces increasingly resemble them. At a certain point it becomes difficult to ignore: geometry may not just carry computation. The geometry itself is the computation.

people were right this is great

On May 1, 2026, Arvinas and Pfizer’s vepdegestrant (Veppanu®) crossed the FDA finish line, marking a major milestone for targeted protein degradation. Vepdegestrant’s approval is an inflection point for the field—not just for PROTACs, but for next-generation degraders and other proximity-inducing modalities.

How to study cleverly 📌

Fast Fourier Analysis in action. Any complex waveform, sound, or shape can be perfectly reconstructed as the sum of simple rotating circles (epicycles).

most people think being good at math is talent. wrong. it is training culture. how chinese learn mathematics by lianghuo fan et al. looks at how chinese students build mathematical ability from the inside. not through shortcuts. through: repetition worked examples deep practice teacher guidance conceptual variation problem solving discipline the important pattern: they don’t treat math as something you “get” instantly. they treat it as something you grind until structure appears. first you imitate. then you understand. then you generalize. western education often worships creativity too early. but real creativity in math comes after fluency. you cannot make elegant moves if you don’t first master the basic forms.
