This piece tests China's RISC-V strategy against the myth of '2.5 billion units shipped' and real server procurement data. The true goal is to seize governance structures through board seats — and this analysis unpacks that reality through the vulnerabilities built into Arm and x86, and China's parallel bet on LoongArch.
Researchers have published a connectome covering the entire central nervous system of a male fruit fly. This unprecedented brain map, linking roughly 166,000 neurons and 125 million synapses, was completed with the help of AI. By comparing circuits with those of females, the study reveals the neural basis for sex-specific behavior and offers insight into universal principles of brain function.
A research team at OIST has developed a new molecule called DHB that switches open and closed using 285 nm and 325 nm ultraviolet light, combining fluorescence and chirality in a single framework. The team also demonstrated control over the direction of the reaction, though challenges remain, including evaluating durability in solid-state materials.
LLVM developers are split on a proposed two-line AGENTS.md that would direct AI agents to existing policies. The aim is to ease review burden, but upkeep and conflicts with personal setups remain open questions.
Sumitomo Chemical has begun selling 4-inch InP epitaxial wafers. We compare it with a Chinese firm's entry into substrates and JX Metals' investment plan, separating each process step to see what silicon photonics light-source designs mean for material demand and mass production.
Google is tackling AI server memory limits with TPU design and KV cache compression. We check the specs and the math to see why a 6x compression ratio does not translate directly into total memory use or cost savings.
CXMT has reached 10% of global DRAM revenue. This analysis looks at pricing, manufacturing resources, and DDR5 and LPDDR5X supply, separates the figure from HBM rankings, and explains what must happen for wider sourcing to reach buyers' prices.
Smackover Lithium secured about 90% of its sales target through a contract with LG Energy Solution. However, financing, the final investment decision, and 2029 commercial production remain incomplete.
A team led by Hong Kong Polytechnic University has developed a tunnel FET using a 2D bismuth/InSe heterojunction that achieves both steep switching below the Boltzmann limit (60 mV/dec) at room temperature and a practical on-current.
A leak based on solder pad layouts suggests Apple's A20 Pro could feature a 7-core GPU and a 96-bit memory interface. Compared with official Snapdragon and Dimensity specs, this piece examines what more execution units and data supply mean for sustained performance.
