Scientists in Japan have taken a big step toward the “ultimate” rechargeable battery: the lithium-air (or lithium-oxygen) cell. These batteries are prized because they can
Silicon has powered the digital world for more than half a century, from PCs and phones to data centers and AI chips. But as chips
A former 1980s semiconductor plant in Austin, Texas, is being transformed into a next-generation research foundry focused on 3D heterogeneous integration (3DHI), backed by a
A breakthrough in graphene engineering could accelerate the global shift to fast, durable, and high-performance energy storage. Scientists at Monash University have developed a next-generation
Imagine a company that makes a crucial component for the car you drive and the phone in your pocket. Now, imagine that the company is
In a surprising twist that challenges conventional materials science, researchers from the University of Nottingham, University of Warwick, and Diamond Light Source have developed a
In a landmark achievement that challenges long-held principles of physics, researchers from Japan have developed energy harvesters that surpass the Carnot efficiency, a fundamental thermodynamic
Semiconductors, optical devices, and scintillators all rely on single crystals, but until now, these crystals have had a fundamental weakness: they can’t take extreme heat.
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) is phasing out its smallest wafer production line, marking the end of its 6-inch (150 mm) fabs within the next
