The idea that every year a new, smaller chip will appear is fading. Instead of a straight line, the industry’s path looks more like a series of jumps and pauses. First, look at the early 2000s. Back then, memory cells shrank by about half each year, pushing power and speed higher. Since 2010, that
Electronics keep shrinking but they still need protection from unwanted radio waves. Old-school metal shields work fine, but they’re heavy and can’t adapt. A new approach uses two kinds of fields—electric and magnetic—to line up tiny flakes and wires inside a lightweight foam. Rotate the foam and su
Scientists often struggle to watch how tiny catalysts behave in tough acidic environments. These catalysts help speed up chemical reactions, like splitting water into oxygen, but their structures can shift unpredictably. A team found a way to track the same iridium nanocatalysts over long periods us
Scientists have found a tricky way to watch gut health without relying on big machines. When we eat foods with tryptophan, good bacteria in our gut turn it into indole-3-propionic acid (IPA). This acid isn’t just floating around—it could be a warning sign for gut trouble like swelling or diseases su
Scientists have created a breakthrough in memory technology using tiny, bendable tubes instead of rigid layers. These tubes, made from a special material that can switch polarity, form patterns that store information. Unlike traditional memory chips that rely on stiff layers, these tubes can move fr
TSMC is cooking up something big for the future of computer chips. Their newest project, called A16, is part of their "Angstrom Era" lineup, promising chips that are faster, more powerful, or use less energy compared to their current models. But what makes A16 stand out is its "Super Power Rail" tec
A major legal showdown is brewing in New Mexico that could force Meta to rethink how its apps work—or push the company to leave the state entirely. After winning a $375 million penalty earlier this year, the state’s attorney general is now pushing for strict changes like age checks for users, limits
In early April, a big gathering of car dealers and tech fans took place in Wuhu, China. The event was part of a global business summit that focused on new ideas for the automotive world. The highlight was an open‑air pavilion built by two car brands, OMODA and JAECOO. The space covered more than 2,
A recent study by a leading real‑estate firm says that the current wave of artificial intelligence (AI) development might surpass the scale of railroad expansion in the 1850s. The research points to a projected $3. 7 trillion investment by major tech giants—Google, Amazon and Microsoft—in AI infrast
Motorcycle riders are stepping up their safety game this spring, and a new campaign called “Airbags Save” is leading the charge. The program, launched in 2024, highlights how modern airbag jackets and helmets can cut crash forces by as much as 95 percent. It also stresses that wearing the right gear
