April 19, 2024 — SK Hynix recently announced that it will work closely with TSMC on the production of next-generation HBM products and on strengthening advanced packaging technology that integrates HBM and logic layers. The two parties recently signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU). The company plans to cooperate with TSMC to develop HBM4, the […]
Deployment to outdoor environments. Credit: Ilija Radosavov A team of roboticists at the University of California, Berkeley, reports that it is possible to train robots to do relatively simple tasks by using sim-to-real reinforcement learning to train them. In their study, published in the journal Science Robotics, the group trained a robot to walk in […]

Plugging those leaks may be the dull stepchild of the energy transition, but that doesn’t make it any less important than installing dazzling solar arrays and getting millions of electric vehicles on […]
Len Crane – Senior Technologist – discusses power inductors and how predicting performance gets better with Coilcraft MAGPro tools. He covers, for example, making inductors smaller and more compatible with surrounding components, making solutions better and smaller. Thank you to Len for his time. Video: Priya Atwal, emap
A new technique, called advanced dual-chirped optical parametric amplification, has increased the energy of single-cycle laser pulses by a factor of 50. The technique uses two crystals (shown as clear cubes), which amplify complementary regions of the spectrum.
