From ham radio to hacked corn: this issue focuses on hardware and what we do with it. Articles cover learning hardware skills, from taking things apart to the essentials of circuit design; Arduino projects that push our ideas about what the Internet of Things could look like; and the raw details of how it all works, down to radio waves and concurrency in CPUs.
