Undo gives AI coding agents the runtime context they need to solve hard problems in complex software and system verification workflows Undo’s technology records complete program execution, allowing engineers and AI coding agents to understand exactly what happened during execution rather than inferring behavior from source… Read More
AI-driven semiconductor systems are the next major transformation in chip design and manufacturing. The central idea is that semiconductor workflows are becoming too complex, too data-intensive, and too time-sensitive to be managed only through traditional human-driven engineering processes. Modern chips now involve… Read More

TSMC’s A16 technology, presented as Paper T1.5 at the June 2026 IEEE/JSAP VLSI Symposium, marks the company’s first angstrom-class CMOS platform combining enhanced nanosheet gate-all-around transistors with backside power delivery. The key integration feature is Super Power Rail, or SPR, which TSMC describes as a backside… Read More
The semiconductor landscape is currently undergoing a structural transformation as the “Data-Centric Shift” moves the industry’s center of gravity from smartphones toward High-Performance Computing (HPC) and AI infrastructure.
This transition is clearly validated by TSMC’s 2025 filings, which show… Read More
