Image source: Ambiq Key Takeaways about Battery Powered AI devices: Battery-powered devices are adopting artificial intelligence (AI) for improved performance. AI devices operating at the edge must be power-stingy. Devices that exploit this trend will come with varied subsystems and capabilities, but all must include comprehensive security features. As technology progresses, the imperative to integrate AI into battery-powered […]
Transform-limited photon emission and high temperature operation make PbV centers suitable building blocks for scalable quantum networks. Credit: Tokyo Tech Much like how electric circuits use components to control electronic signals, quantum networks rely on special components and nodes to transfer quantum information between different points, forming the foundation for building quantum systems. In the […]
“Research progress on p-type amorphous semiconductors has been notably sluggish,” according to the Pohang University of Science and Technology (PosTech). “Despite the widespread adoption of n-type amorphous oxide semiconductors, particularly those based on IGZO [indium gallium zinc oxide] in OLED displays and memory devices, the advancement of p-type oxide materials has been impeded by numerous […]
Resolution is as fine as individual telegraph poles. “This technology allows for accurate disaster prediction by building a model that learns disaster patterns from facility data that the NTT Group has inspected and repaired [after] past disasters,” according to the company. “In addition, it can be predicted from publicly available data throughout Japan, making it […]
The automotive sector is expected to expand at an annual rate of 9%, from its 2023 value of $8.2 billion, it is forecasted to reach $13.5 billion by 2029. The industrial sector, worth $6 billion in 2023, is projected to experience 2% CAGR to reach $6.8 billion by 2029. The defence, security and aerospace sector […]
April 26, 2024 — TSMC recently stated that its new chip manufacturing technology, the A16, will enter production in the second half of 2026. Analysts said the technology announced by TSMC could make the industry question Intel’s claim in February that Intel would surpass TSMC to make the world’s fastest computing chips with the new […]
April 26, 2024 — Infineon recently announced the expansion of its partnership with Amkor Technology, a semiconductor packaging and testing service provider. The two parties will build a new packaging and testing center in Porto, Portugal, which is expected to begin operations in the first half of 2025. Through this agreement, Infineon and Amkor further […]
