Weebit Nano launched its Weebit Matrix In-Memory Compute Research Program on November 4, 2026, giving academic and industry researchers access to hardware built around its resistive random-access memory, or ReRAM. The program will let teams prototype AI algorithms, research ways to program the memory and explore architectures… Read More
Most of the AI conversation stops at the chip. At SEMICON West 2026 I sat down with René Jonker, Chief Product Officer of Soitec, to talk about what sits underneath it.
Ask an engineer where AI performance comes from and you will hear about process nodes, dataflow, HBM stacks and interconnect fabrics. Rarely about the wafer. Yet a … Read More
French researchers have demonstrated a hybrid nanoelectronic “Ising machine” designed to solve difficult combinatorial optimization problems more efficiently. The experimental system combines two emerging device technologies—resistive memory and spintronics—to perform parts of an optimization algorithm through… Read More
