A new vague plan pins domestic 65nm to 2030.

Fabs are funded under the CHIPS & Science Act.

Formally referred to as a Safety Reinforced Layer (SRL), the composite material measures just one micrometer thick – or about 1/100th the thickness of a human hair. It is designed to sit between the cathode layer and the current collector (an aluminum foil that functions as a pathway for electrons) in a battery and acts as a temperature-sensitive fuse.

TSMC's keeping the ball rolling but healthy competition would be better.

It's more machines than humans but people are still at the heart of making sure it's all good.

The Noctua Edition PSU should be whisper quiet.

Research hints at an ‘incredibly efficient optical storage’ advance.

Let's hope this makes for a more transparent RMA process overall.

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has acquired a fabrication plant to secure supplies of gallium arsenide (GaAs) semiconductors needed by the armed forces.

Dense, power-efficient Monaka-based servers.

Accenture and Nvidia have announced they are expanding their AI partnership, aiming to promote (and possibly sell) machine learning algorithms to a growing number of enterprise organizations. The renewed effort includes developing a business group at Accenture (Nvidia Business Group), with tens of thousands of trained professionals and autonomous agents ready to deploy in large-scale operations.

Cerebras's valuation is currently unclear

Corning unveils new ultra-low expansion material.

Not to scale, of course, but it does work! And it's about as slow as the original.

The Army has announced that it has awarded contracts to American Rheinmetall Vehicles and HDT Expeditionary Systems for its Small Multipurpose Equipment Transport Increment II (S-MET II) program. Each company will receive $22 million to build eight prototype military vehicles.

Western Digital gets hard drives, SanDisk gets flash.

Not three years behind, as previously speculated

But you can run it on your PC using a lightweight QASM simulator.

Microsoft will still continue its HoloLens work with the US Army.

For now, the impact is unclear.

The luggable machine is exceptionally thick, too.

While copper phthalocyanine is currently not approved for direct use in food, the research team points to over a decade of evidence demonstrating its safety when used in toothpaste products.

Initially built by Eivin Bohler, this custom mini-ITX board accurately plays classic DOS titles without requiring emulation.

The Texas Institute for Electronics (TIE), a consortium backed by the University of Texas at Austin and comprising semiconductor heavyweights like Intel, recently took delivery of the machinery. Multiple government agencies and academic institutions are also involved.

Using 160 MHz channels results in speeds effectively equivalent to Wi-Fi 6.
