"We got our hands on four components from BYD's lineup and put them in our CT scanner: a lithium iron phosphate battery cell, a window switch panel, a portable EV charger, and a key fob. They reveal as much about the company as they do about what’s inside the parts."

BYD sold 4.6M vehicles in 2025, but Americans can't buy one. We CT scanned four components from its lineup to reveal what vertical integration looks like at the part level.

I made a lucky rabbit’s foot for our #microCT lab! Micro-CT scanners are really complex pieces of equipment, which means there are a lot of different things that can break or get buggy. Hopefully our sparkly purple rabbit’s foot adds just a little bit of luck that helps us to keep scanning smoothly!

Thank you to MorphoSource, the UMMZ, Roger Benson, and Cody Thompson for making this CT data available to researchers and artists!

Next level of #ctscanning: #diceCT! "Diffusible Iodine-based Contrast-Enhanced Computed Tomography" allows me to analyze not only the #bones, but the muscular soft tissue of the Java finch #bird #skull. This is possible thanks to a prior staining of the #muscles with iodine solution. This website provides fascinating information about the technique, in case you're interested: https://dicect.com/
Thanks to @dynxlab for the CT-scan!
