IBM closing its R&D units in China, ASML being threatened with long-term exclusion, US semi sales overtaking China's, Intel’s 18A process, China outspending everyone on semiconductor manufacturing equipment...
Researchers at the Chinese Dalian Institute of Chemical Physics have produced stable organic redox compounds for use in aqueous flow batteries. “Organic redox-active molecules [ORAMs] are abundant and diverse, offering significant potential for energy storage, particularly in aqueous organic flow batteries,” according to the Institute. “However, ensuring the stability of the ORAMs during the charge and discharge process is critical, ...
We're talking further Chinese investment in its semiconductor industry, a magnetic experimental RF filter at the University of Pennsylvania, and a robotic arm prototype for the ESA's lunar lander...
The Changchun Institute of Optics, Fine Mechanics and Physics has created a silicon carbide mirror 4m across – claiming it to be the world’s largest aspheric mirror made from the material. It is was by sintering SiC powder, starting with 12 segments in their ‘green’ state. These were stuck together using a bonding agent made from a mixture of SiC ...
The most popular stories involve cuprate ‘high-temperature’ superconductors, the US-China trade war, quantum-based inertial navigation in an aircraft, University of Glasgow research into IC packaging, and suggestions that Raspberry Pi could IPO...
Intending to map the ground from small aircraft and drones, researchers in China have made a singe-photon radar. It achieves resolution better than 40cm from 2.1km altitude using around two photons per pixel, in the face of 10,000 daylight noise photons per pixel. Created by the University of Science and Technology of China, the lidar combines three 150mA 1.55μm lasers ...
12.8 million EVs were sold last year (including BEVs (Battery EVs, PHEVs (Plud-In Hybrid EVs) , and FCVs (Fuel Cell Vehicles), says TrendForce. Regional market sales shares were expected to be 60% in China, 22% in Western Europe, 11% in the US, and 6% in other regions. With China’s subsidies gradually phasing out, the increasing market penetration of NEVs in ...
China’s share of mature (28nm and older) process capacity is expected to grow from 29% this year to 33% by 2027, says TrendForce, while Taiwan’s is expected to fall from 49% to 42%. The result could be a price war in mature process products and increasing localisation for driver ICs, CMOS image sensors, and power discretes. Leading China’s charge are: ...
There's the first high-energy laser weapon system to be tested and integrated in the UK, Open-source hardware, the No.1 semiconductor company for revenue this year, China building a huge particle accelerator for advanced IC lithography, and Arm share price developments...
