In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into the surprising world of crystallization control in hardware startups. From sensors that detect ice on wind turbines to medical devices with precise crystal-based timing, crystallization is quietly shaping product reliability. They explore how one startup used a simple acoustic sensor to catch a crystallization failure before shipping, saving a $2 million recall. They also discuss why crystallization is a hidden variable in supply chains, how design tweaks can prevent failures, and the surprising role of crystallization in 3D printing. Tune in for a…
