Micron Technology has been on a roll. It recently announced plans to build a high-volume manufacturing facility in Idaho and now plans to build the largest fabrication facility in the history of the United States. The megafab will increase…

The James Webb Space Telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope captured views of a unique NASA experiment designed to intentionally smash a spacecraft into a small asteroid in the world's first-ever in-space test for planetary defense.…

Synopsys announced that its collaboration with Samsung Foundry has produced multiple successful test chip tapeouts on Synopsys digital and custom design tools and flows, certified for Samsung Foundry's most advanced process. Samsung…

It's Cybersecurity Awareness Month, and IBM Security announced global survey results that look at the critical role of cybersecurity incident responders as physical and digital worlds are converging. The study says that the frontline…

Mercury Systems, Inc. introduced the Model 5560, its next-generation 3U OpenVPX SOSA aligned co-processing board—the first to be powered by the AMD Xilinx Versal HBM series with integrated high-bandwidth memory. Many existing defense…

The MIT School of Engineering announced the MIT-Pillar AI Collective, a one-year pilot program funded by a gift from Pillar VC. The program will provide seed grants for projects in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and data science…

The University of Technology Sydney (UTS) Human Technology Institute outlines a model law in a recent report for facial recognition technology to protect against harmful use and to help foster innovation. Facial recognition and other…

Researchers created a metasurface device that can display three types of images depending on illumination. They envision that the three-channel device can be instrumental as an anti-counterfeiting measure or in delivering encrypted…

Vietnam’s first global EV maker, VinFast, and Renesas Electronics Corporation announced that the two companies are expanding their collaboration agreement to include automotive technology—development of electric vehicles (EVs) and delivery…

A significant challenge for undersea exploration is powering underwater cameras. Researchers can tether it to their vessel or send a ship and diver to recharge its batteries. MIT researchers are overcoming the challenge, developing a…

Strength and durability are paramount for nuclear power plants and various critical technologies, so many contain a remarkably strong and corrosion-resistant alloy called 17-4 precipitation hardening (PH) stainless steel. Now 17-4 PH steel…

Researchers at the Flatiron Institute trained a machine learning tool to capture the physics of electrons moving on a lattice using far fewer equations and without sacrificing accuracy. The physicists compressed a daunting quantum…

A new nanophotonic material just broke records for high-temperature stability. Implications are that the material may enable more efficient electricity production and new possibilities in controlling and converting thermal radiation. The…

I love it when researchers exhibit a sense of humor. This news piece made me laugh. Duke University researchers created an encryption method based on patterns created by bacteria growing in a petri dish. The encryption above reads, "Be Sure…

Charging your EV in the evening or overnight? A new Stanford study says we're doing it wrong. The study focused on the western United States but can work with an array of populations. They published their findings in Nature Energy.…
