US Achieves 99.9999% Si-28 Purity, Rebuilding Domestic Isotope Supply Chain for Quantum Semiconductors
The US Department of Energy has announced manufacturing technology for high-purity silicon and germanium gases that eliminate nuclear spins—a noise source in quantum computers—to an extreme degree. By completing the process from isotope enrichment to deposition-ready gases entirely within the United States, the effort aims to improve quantum device performance and strengthen the supply chain.

Could This Replace Silicon Semiconductors? A "100,000-Strong Spin Wave Network" Achieves Computation Without Moving Electrons
An international research team has successfully synchronized over 100,000 nano-oscillators—the largest number ever achieved—that carry information via spin waves without the physical movement of electrons. This new technology, which achieves system-wide coherence in just 45 nanoseconds, is expected to serve as a next-generation computing foundation that could solve the power consumption problem plaguing data centers.

Invisible Drones Designed by AI Without "Transparent Materials": The Key Lies in Human Eye Quirks
A drone developed by Northwestern University exploits human visual characteristics by spinning the entire airframe at high speed, blurring its outline into near-invisibility. Through AI-driven optimization design, the team achieved roughly a tenfold reduction in visual detectability compared to conventional airframes, enabling highly covert flight.
