Panel makers turn old fabs into AI-advanced packaging hubs - AI-driven demand for advanced packaging is giving old-generation panel fabs and equipment new value. As Taiwan's panel makers accelerate the phaseout of LCD capacity at the 5.5 generation and below, they are splitting into two tracks: selling factories to foundries and outsourced semiconductor assembly...
Going Full Fruity with Apple’s 1999 High-End Power Mac G3 - Back in the late 90s, Apple was definitely a pretty fruity company, with its aggressively translucent shades of colored plastic that often got described in terms of such fruit variants. …read more
Only the Hottest Tunes Play on This Fire Organ - Most musical organs use air as their working fluid, but there’s nothing in the rule book that says they have to. Calliopes have used steam for 150 years now, while …read more
Unstacking the Future: Navigating the 3D IC Frontier - 3D IC introduces new system-level hurdles that demand innovative 3D IC solutions that address exploration, design, analysis, reliability, and test. The post Unstacking the Future: Navigating the 3D IC Frontier appeared first on EE Times .
[News] “Compute Metals” Skyrocket in Price - The rapid acceleration of AI compute infrastructure is reshaping the global supply-and-demand landscape for non-ferrous metals. On July 29, the China Nonferrous Metals Industry Association released its latest data, showing that in the first half of this year, the output of ten non-ferrous metals ...
Nvidia seeks China AI-RAN partners to bring GPU computing into 6G networks - Nvidia is seeking Chinese telecom equipment partners to develop 6G AI radio access network base stations for overseas markets, according to Chinese media reports, as the chipmaker looks to extend its computing platform beyond data centres and into wireless networks and edge AI infrastructure.
Alzheimer’s May Scramble the Genome’s 3D Architecture Inside Brain Cells - Alzheimer’s may scramble the genome’s 3D structure inside brain cells, disrupting the genetic controls that keep the brain functioning. The human genome is not simply packed into brain cells like thread in a box. It folds into an intricate three-dimensional structure that helps determine which genes...
Sizing errors can hide true nanoparticle behavior - Nanoscience, which studies small objects, has a big problem. According to a team of scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), the field confronts a pervasive data analysis error that can give ...
Beetroot Juice May Ease Pregnancy’s Strain on the Kidneys - Daily beetroot juice showed early signs of safely supporting pregnant women with chronic kidney disease. For a pregnant woman with chronic kidney disease (CKD), protecting her own kidneys can become harder just as her body is supporting a developing baby. Many kidney treatments are considered unsafe during...
AI learns to focus like humans to speed up video analysis - Artificial neural networks were originally inspired by the human brain, but they are still far less efficient at processing information. One reason the human brain is so efficient is its ability to focus only on the most ...
Sleep Strengthens Memories, but Epilepsy Can Break the Connection - During sleep, three brain regions work together to strengthen memories, but epilepsy can disrupt that process. While the brain sleeps, three regions appear to synchronize their activity to strengthen newly formed memories. Researchers at Kennedy Krieger Institute and Johns Hopkins Medicine found that...
This Widely Used Plastic Could Be Harming Your Liver - Researchers were surprised to find that polyethylene, one of the world’s most widely used plastics, contributes to liver disease because it has long been considered one of the more biologically inert microplastics. Tiny fragments of plastic now appear in oceans, drinking water and human tissues. Although...
ICO Reprimands Met Police After Data Leaks - Data protection regulator tells Met to do more, after officer accidentally sends contact details of stalking victim to defendant
Radial nanochannel-array carbon enables high-performance intermetallic fuel cell catalysts - Hollow nanocarbon spheres containing an ordered radial nanochannel array were used as supports to design high-performance intermetallic nanoparticle fuel cell catalysts. They overcome the trade-off between the degree of ordering in the intermetallic phase and nanoparticle dispersion.
Author Talks: One size does not fit all - From sneakers to crash test dummies, many everyday designs were developed based on the male body. Nike’s former global creative director explains why better design starts with broader perspectives.
A Single Immune Switch Could Help Drive Widespread Aging - Blocking a single inflammatory receptor protected mice from many of aging’s most damaging effects. Aging may be driven in part by a breakdown in the body’s cleanup system. New research suggests that as specialized immune cells lose their ability to remove worn-out cells, inflammatory debris begins...
