University of Delaware researchers have demonstrated that magnons—magnetic spin waves—can produce detectable electric signals in antiferromagnetic materials. This breakthrough could lead to computer chips that operate at terahertz frequencies with dramatically reduced energy consumption compared to
Scientists at Tohoku University have made a significant breakthrough in quantum computing by creating and controlling triple quantum dots in zinc oxide. This marks the first time multiple quantum dots have been electrically controlled in this common semiconductor material. The discovery opens new pa
Oppo’s Find X9 series is heading to India with potentially aggressive pricing. The Pro model could cost nearly $1,125, while the standard version starts around $845 according to new leaks.
The site of a former Unilever soap factory in Warrington, UK, is being transformed into a modular AI data center. Demolition work began recently and will take 18 months to complete. The new facility will be operated by Dante FS subsidiary Platform Data Centre UK.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed the company has IP rights to OpenAI’s custom AI semiconductors being developed with Broadcom. The deal extends Microsoft’s exclusive rights through 2032 and includes post-AGI models. This gives Microsoft unprecedented access to OpenAI’s hardware innovations while
Researchers have developed the first graphene-based solar cells that can power temperature sensors directly without batteries. The system uses storage capacitors that charge in minutes and power sensors for more than 24 hours. This breakthrough could enable decades-long autonomous sensor systems for
Valve is introducing foveated streaming for its new Steam Frame VR headset, using eye tracking to optimize wireless game streaming. The technology could potentially work with other headsets that support eye tracking and Steam Link compatibility. This approach could significantly improve the wireless
The AI boom is forcing a radical rethink of how chips communicate. Traditional networking can’t keep up, sparking a gold rush in optical technology and billion-dollar acquisitions.
Google is working on enabling mainline Linux kernel support for future Pixel hardware. Simultaneously, the company is developing Skia “Graphite” to dramatically accelerate Chrome’s graphics performance using modern APIs and multi-threading.
AI systems are consuming massive amounts of NAND storage, causing prices to skyrocket. The TLC 1TB NAND price jumped from $4.80 in July to $10.70 in October. Companies may respond by reducing storage capacities in future devices.
