Terafab will close the gap between today's chip production and the future's demand - a future among the stars. This reflects the ambitious vision behind the project, aiming to meet the growing needs of AI technology.

Lace Lithography uses a beam of helium atoms rather than light to etch chip patterns, achieving a width of approximately 0.1 nanometres, which is about 135 times finer than ASML's EUV light.

Meta is building these chips because buying AI hardware at scale is expensive, and relying too heavily on external suppliers leaves less room to shape that hardware to its own needs. Building more in-house could help the company keep AI costs in check.

The need for higher performance and more energy-efficient chips is driving high growth rates for leading-edge logic, high-bandwidth memory and advanced packaging. These are areas where Applied is the process equipment leader, and we expect to grow our semiconductor equipment business over 20 percent this calendar year.

Korea Zinc, which it described as one of the world's largest smelters, is in talks with major US technology firms to recycle data center waste and extract rare earth. The move comes almost one year to the day after China announced immediate export controls on seven more rare earth elements critical to enterprise IT hardware manufacturing.

Infinera Corp., a Nokia subsidiary, purchased the 82,000-square-foot facility at 6373 San Ignacio Avenue for nearly $27 million. The team will convert this former headquarters in South San Jose into a dedicated photonic semiconductor fabrication plant.

Our custom accelerator business is progressing very well across five customers. Anthropic will soon implement one gigawatt of Broadcom-baked TPUs, and we expect the AI company plans a three-gigawatt deployment in 2027. Meta will install multiple gigawatts of Broadcom's XPU accelerators in 2027 and beyond. OpenAI will deploy over one gigawatt of compute capacity based on custom XPUs in 2027.

When the Finnish startup unveiled its battery at the Consumer Electronics Show in January, the specifications shocked the battery industry. How could an unknown company leapfrog Toyota, Factorial, and CATL in the solid-state race? The startup claimed 400 watt-hours per kilogram of energy density, a 100,000-cycle lifespan and a charge time of roughly five minutes.

NIST has developed a chip that reliably emits a single photon on demand. This ability will improve the efficiency of QKD (quantum key distribution) as we prepare for the arrival of quantum computers. Quantum computers will upend current cryptology by using Shor's algorithm to rapidly negate the current public/private key secure encryption methods. This has largely been solved by NIST's post quantum cryptology (PQC) algorithms.

We look, not just for the next five years, we look at the next 10, maybe 15 years. The focus is on advanced packaging and a possible expansion of the chip size that ASML's machines can handle, positioning the company to capitalize on the rapidly evolving AI chip manufacturing landscape.

But he'd been considering an idea for new technology-an autonomous, wind-powered cargo ship. Then, while on paternity leave in 2024, he discovered a free program that helps scientists and engineers launch businesses for the first time. Weeks after finishing the program, called 5050, Cymbalist had launched a startup called Clippership. The company's first ship is being built in the Netherlands this year. Without the accelerator, he says, the company likely wouldn't exist.

Here we addressed this challenge by incorporating an intrinsically stretchable exciplex-assisted phosphorescent (ExciPh) layer. The elastomer-tolerant triplet-recycling mechanism mitigates exciton energy transfer limitations arising from the insulating elastomer matrix, yielding a light-emitting layer with more than 200% stretchability and an external quantum efficiency (EQE) of 21.7%. To translate this performance to fully stretchable devices, we integrated MXene-contact stretchable electrodes (MCSEs), which feature high mechanical robustness and tunable work function (W

Applied Materials Inc. will pay $252.5 million to settle a US Commerce Department investigation into improper exports to China, ending a yearslong saga for the largest American supplier of chipmaking machinery. The agreement resolves allegations by the Commerce Department's Bureau of Industry and Security that certain shipments to China between November 2020 and July 2022 didn't comply with export regulations, the company said in a statement Wednesday.

Calling nanoscientists: your field needs you to try to replicate a landmark finding that quantum dots can act as biosensors inside living cells. As part of the first large-scale effort in the physical sciences to tackle the reproducibility crisis, researchers in France and the Netherlands are offering funds and resources in exchange for a few months of work. "We are trying to use

Metal halide perovskites have emerged as a material for LEDs owing to exceptional luminescent properties and cost-effective solution processability4,5,6,7,8,9,10. Quasi-2D PeLEDs have demonstrated superior device performance and reproducibility because of their quantum well structures9,11,12,13,14,15,16. However, quasi-2D perovskites are usually composed of hybrid and random 3D-2D phases and face two critical challenges: (1) abundant surface defects will lead to severe non-radiative recombination7,17,18,19 and (2) notable energy disorder will interrupt charge transport, hence reducing device efficiency20,21.
