Technology: The Next Generation of Electronics will be Soft
Jie Xu, assistant scientist at Argonne National Laboratory, told Newsweek that “the next generation of electronics is not going to be rigid anymore. It’s going to be soft, comfortable. It can even be biocompatible, like our tissue or skin.” Flexible…
Blockchain: The Etherium Merge has Shipped and GPU prices are Dropping
Last week, September 15th, marked the completion of the Etherium cryptocoin’s ‘Merge‘. Etherium has migrated from a Proof-of-Work model to a Proof-of-Stake model. With ‘Proof-of-Work’, Etherium ‘miners’ needed to use massive amounts of computer cycles to derive new Etherium coins.…
Semiconductors: Export Controls on EDA Software Will Hurt Chinese Chip Manufacturers
Today’s computer chips can contain more than a billion transistors, and because of their complexity are only possible to layout using sophisticated electronic design automation (EDA) software. On August 12, 2022, the US Commerce Department announced a ban on EDA…
Semiconductors: Moore’s Law Gets a Reprieve?
It’s dead. No, it’s alive. Moore’s Law seems to survive despite the annual death knell. Gordon Moore predicted in 1965 that the number of transistors on a computer would double every two years. For more than 50 years the ‘law’…
