Samsung’s massive Taylor, Texas chipmaking facility is preparing to begin mass production of advanced 2nm GAA chips within months. The plant represents one of Samsung’s largest investments outside South Korea and marks a significant step in US semiconductor manufacturing ambitions.
University of Oxford researchers have developed fluidic robots that generate complex, rhythmic movements using only air pressure. These brain-less machines can automatically synchronize their actions without any electronic control or programming.
Swiss battery startup BTRY has raised €4.9 million to develop ultra-thin solid-state batteries that charge in under a minute and operate safely at temperatures up to 150°C. The technology could revolutionize applications from logistics tags to medical devices where conventional batteries can’t fit o
Dublin-based CEL Critical Power is expanding into the US with a major Virginia manufacturing facility. The $40 million investment will create 250 skilled jobs in the first year, targeting the booming AI infrastructure market. This represents a significant bet on the future of American data centers a
Axon’s stock took a 17% nosedive after the company reported disappointing Q3 earnings. The TASER maker missed analyst expectations with adjusted earnings of $1.17 per share versus the $1.52 forecast, blaming new tariffs for squeezing margins.
The pandemic exposed critical vulnerabilities in America’s supply chains. Now companies like GM are moving beyond headlines to build real domestic capacity for everything from rare earth magnets to semiconductors.
Carrier Global is diving deeper into data center liquid cooling with new CDUs ranging from 1.3-5MW. The units feature modular heat exchangers that achieve approach temperatures as low as 3.6°F. This expands their QuantumLeap thermal management suite launched earlier this year.
The fossil energy sector is shifting from centralized automation to field-level intelligence. New “swarm governance” models let devices collaborate directly on safety responses. This approach maintains operations even during network failures.
DDR5 memory prices have skyrocketed, with some kits now costing twice what they did just a few months ago. The price surge is driven by AI demand and supply shortages affecting both consumer and enterprise markets. There’s no end in sight for these unprecedented price hikes.
Littelfuse just dropped a game-changing solid-state relay that could make batteries obsolete in smart thermostats and building controls. The CPC1601M harvests operating power directly from the load it’s controlling while drawing less than 1 μA from system supply. This could finally solve the common
