Particle Blok
The World's First Internet Connected Structural Concrete Building Block with Global Cellular Coverage, Particle is excited to finally lift the veil of secrecy around the Particle Blok. Featuring strong public key encryption, and an open source design, the Particle Blok is perfect for makers, construction, and the growing data driven fired pottery industry. Based on machine learning and cutting edge science, the Particle Blok uses 75% less material than traditional bricks. Manufactured via next generation deep-infrared lithography, Particle etches circuits directly using only concrete molecules and an ultrafine copper matrix. Buying more than 50?
