With 2nm coming on with TSM and Samsung, is there any alternative that could compete? After 2nm will quantum be the only next step or are there any other options?
With quantum computing on the horizon, is there any technology that can compete? What will the semi world look like when quantum computing becomes a reality in the marketplace? Who will dominate, will a player come out of left field?
Researchers at the Jülich Research Center and the Leibniz Institute for Innovative Microelectronics (IHP) have developed a material that has never existed before: a stable alloy of carbon, silicon, germanium, and tin. The new compound, abbreviated as CSiGeSn, opens up exciting possibilities for...
US medical has the highest costs of any modern country combined with some of the lowest quality. The question is can the US tech sector offer solutions to the high costs and low quality of US medical or is the medical industry so entrenched only the economic collapse of the US be enough to...
Maybe it's time to go on the offensive against bad actors and give them a megadose of their own medicine. Many times the best defense is to go on the offense.
Automation of warehouses and retail offer some of the greatest opportunities for leveraging resources of time, space and productivity. If combined with autonomous transport/delivery the time, money and resources changes would be staggering. Converting just a significant portion of retail for...
From my reading perovskite solar cells are the future. Efficiencies and their potential are all over the map from my reading. Any thoughts or information on these solar cells or other types appreciated. It seems solar cells mounted on the car could reach thirty miles a day from my reading...
With numerous battery technologies competing and driving rapid improvements in cost, lifespan and increasing capacity, this will drive demand for semis and electrification on almost everything at a pace few have imagined. Advances in solid state batteries increasing capacity and lifespan we...
How far are we from quantum computing? What companies will win the race? Also,u how many ways are there going to be to get to quantum computing? Any thoughts and information on that are going to be use cases the leaders in developing and using it? Thanks
I've had numerous attacks on everything from credit cards to my brokerage account. Fortunately, my brokerage stopped them all and asked if they were my transactions and this is in the six figures. Some credit cards have been hacked before we even took possession of them. I have a friend who...
Is there a good combination of hardware and software that can improve PC security? I have used different security programs and have had security issues. Any thoughts or comments appreciated. Can software alone give adequate security? Thanks
First, it would be far cheaper than war for China to buy TSM if allowed, which I doubt the powers that be would allow. War/conflict would be a looser option for all. China would have to pay a hefty premium, but it would be far cheaper than the damage a war would cause. The cheapest option...
Even if it doesn't replace teachers and professors AI/ML could vastly lower the cost of teaching and improve the quality. An intelligent system could actually learn how to teach faster and better for it could learn what works and what doesn't. This could take teaching to a whole new level...
