HBM’s revenue share within the DRAM industry—around 8.4% in 2023—is projected to increase to 20.1% by the end of 2024. The die size of HBM is generally 35–45% larger than DDR5 of the same process and capacity (for example, 24Gb compared to 24Gb). The yield rate (including TSV packaging) for HBM is approximately 20–30% lower […]
Allegro Microsystems leads in revenue, TDK leads in volume. A $1 billion investment surge from players like Allegro, TDK, Bosch, LEM etc. is leveraging the technology’s sensitivity, bandwidth, and low power consumption to sense position and current. Magnetic sensors find widespread application across automotive, mobility, industrial, energy, medical, and consumer sectors. Their versatility has led […]

Its cameras will be arriving at the space station as part of the Space X-30 Commercial Resupply Mission (CRS) to the ISS. Then, once aboard, Sen’s payload will be robotically attached by Canadarm-2 (pictured) to the station’s Bartolomeo platform. The exact schedule for installation, which includes crew time to prepare the payload, will be determined […]
Huang announced five APIs and a raft of customer announcements including Ansys, Cadence, and Siemens. The APIs are USD (Universal Screen Description) Render to generate fully ray-tracked RTX rendering of OpenUSD data; USD Query, enabling scene queries and interactive scenarios; USD Write, to modify and interact with USD data; USD Notify, to track changes and […]
It will democratise trillion parameter AI, promises Huang, to meet the 1.8 trillion parameters computing performance of accelerated computing. In the home of the San Jose Sharks ice hockey team, Jensen Huang took centre stage and announced the Blackwell platform: the AI superchip, with second generation transformer engine and the company’s fifth generation NVLINK high-speed […]

DOI: 10.1038/s43246-024-00456-w Scientists from Ames National Laboratory have identified the first unconventional superconductor with a chemical composition also found in nature. Miassite is one of only four minerals found in nature that act as a superconductor when grown in the lab. […]
Corning has created an optical fibre connector system that aligns multiple fibres in a single operation for bringing data to homes. “Multifiber Pushlok is a ‘stick-and-click’ [that] allows operators to deploy more fiber in tighter spaces,” according to the company. It takes “complicated splicing tasks out of the field to help installers connect homes and […]
Called Ennovi-Net, “this innovation completely avoids the need for soldering”, the company said. “As solder usage is eliminated, there are no variations in the amount of solder paste applied and the capacitance associated with this. In addition, the shortness and lower capacitance of press-fit pins, compared to through-board solder pins, means resonance is reduced.” Operation […]
