Materials That Built the Modern World: Steel, Plastics and Engineered Timber
How the Bessemer converter, the first synthetic polymers and engineered wood products replaced found material properties with specified, warranted ones.
Engineering↗
Storing Energy: The Lithium-Ion Cell, Hybrid Traction and Grid-Scale Batteries
Three milestones that made stored electricity dense enough to move a vehicle, then fast enough and cheap enough to stabilise a grid.
Engineering↗
The Grid: Large-Scale Generation, Transmission and Interconnection
Interconnection turned separate power stations into one synchronised machine spanning a country, buying shared reserve and merit order dispatch at the price of propagating faults.
Engineering↗
Urban Water Engineering: Treatment, Sewerage and Elevated Storage
Three milestones between 1854 and 1860 established the modern urban water system: treat what comes in, separate and treat what goes out, and store enough head to survive a failure.
Engineering↗
Water, Concrete and Scale: The Panama Canal, Hoover Dam and Prestressed Concrete
Three milestones showing what happens when concrete construction moves from large to unprecedented, and the governing parameter turns out to be hydrology, creep or heat rather t…
