NTT, Japan's telecom giant, is pushing optical wiring deeper into semiconductor packages. Here's why the smallest connections—between dies—take until 2032, even as board-to-board links go commercial far sooner, and what that gap reveals about chip manufacturing precision.
Reaching the Pixel 11 Pro XL's 45W charging speed requires both a 21V PPS-compatible adapter and Super Fast Charging mode enabled. Based on measured differences between standard and dedicated charging modes, this article explains what to check after purchase.
An explainer on the optics behind Roman Space Telescope's Hubble-class mirror and wide, repeated sky surveys, its approach to planet-hunting and dark-energy measurement, and what its technology means—and its limits—for future direct-imaging missions.
A U.S. federal court has ruled the Pentagon's designation of Anthropic as a national security supply chain risk unlawful and vacated it. Here's what the ruling rejected—and what's still unresolved in AI procurement contracts—based on primary court documents.
X identified a roughly 200,000-account "bot farm" suspected of ties to China. Only 200 of those accounts posted about AI and power policy, underscoring the need to assess scale and actual impact separately.
A modder extracted a pre-release DLSS 5 runtime and ran it in Skyrim. Here's why the resulting image quality and frame rate changes can't be mistaken for official integration or final performance.
Intel says defect reduction on its upcoming 14A process is outpacing internal targets, with progress not seen since its 22nm node. Internal product design and customer capacity talks are advancing, but absolute defect rates and design wins remain unconfirmed.
SK hynix has started construction on an HBM advanced packaging plant in Indiana, where Korean-made wafers will be stacked and tested for US customers. Mass production is now targeted for late 2029, about a year later than originally planned.
A network analysis of human and AI chess games found that AI tends to preserve complex attacking and defensive relationships on the board for longer than humans do. The correlation with playing strength was confirmed, but generalizing the finding to real-world decision-making remains untested.
Kioxia and SanDisk's planned ¥5 trillion Japan investment through 2032 hinges on four factors: a new Kitakami plant, joint-venture cost-sharing, 332-layer NAND technology, and government backing.
