How Analog and Neuromorphic Chips Will Rule the Robotic Age
AI is going to make analog computing popular again
Why Improving Auto Chip Reliability Is So Hard
Aging, adaptation, and new processes and technology require big changes on every level.
Why the World Is Short of Computer Chips, and Why It Matters
Carmakers slashed production. PlayStations got harder to find in stores. Broadband providers faced long delays for internet routers. All of these phenomena and more had a similar cause: an abrupt and cascading shortage of semiconductors. Also known as integrated circuits or more commonly just chips, they may be the tiniest yet most exacting product ever manufactured on a global scale. The cost and difficulty in producing them has fostered a worldwide dependence on two Asian powerhouses — Taiwan
The global chip shortage: What caused it, how long will it last?
Analysts offer observations on why it happened, the industries that will and won't be prioritized and what to expect in the short term.
You won’t believe how cheap the world’s smallest AI chip is
A team of Taiwan researchers and an integrated circuit design house have developed Mipy, the world's smallest and cheapest AI chip.
What automakers and consumers can learn from the global chip shortage
What the global chip shortage can teach automakers and consumers.
Why Data Format Slows Chip Manufacturing Progress
Adoption of new format will take time, but it also will add consistency into data as volume grows.
How neuromorphic 'brain chips' will begin the next era in computing
Neuromorphic computers will change what computers can do and, perhaps more importantly, where they can do it.
How to fix the semiconductor chip shortage (it's more than manufacturing)
A big problem is that investors no longer consider patents reliable, and patents are costly to defend and enforce.
How Scientists Squeezed a Particle Accelerator Onto a Tiny Silicon Chip
The new device uses pulses of infrared laser light, which have wavelengths on the order of a micrometer, to push particles ever faster.

The correct way to chip when there's some green between you and the pin.
Why module reliability is king for Astronergy
SPONSORED: Emerging module technologies offer greater opportunities for differentiation among suppliers, but reliability will always be the key metric for Chinese manufacturer Astronergy.
What Sets Industrial-grade DRAM Modules Apart?
Industrial-grade devices are often tasked with operating in challenging environments. These can include extreme temperature changes, high humidity, extensive dust, various kinds of pollution, and vibrations or shocks.
