Huawei and Semiconductor Manufacturing International Co. (SMIC) patented lithography methods earlier this year to produce advanced microchips. Most assumed that the companies were working on chips using their 5-nm class fabrication process;…

Scientists at the Advanced Institute for Materials Research found that machine learning accelerates the design and optimization of multicomponent catalysts, saving considerable time and resources. The technology significantly advanced the…

Graphene’s unique properties include ultra-high electrical conductivity and tensile strength. The downside is that it’s dirty. Researchers at Columbia University, the University of Montreal, and NIST are cleaning up graphene using an…

We harness Large Language Models (LLMs) to perform all kinds of tasks, from writing to problem-solving. That harnessing, however, is not necessarily intuitive. Researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) are…

Researchers at Oregon State University are demonstrating that iron, instead of cobalt and nickel, can be used as a cathode material in lithium-ion batteries. They published their findings in Science Advances. So far, the cathode…

Technology has varying degrees of usefulness, but I'm a sucker for stories like the following: Colorado Highland Helicopters is testing technology that allows helicopter search and rescue teams to detect missing people in Colorado’s…

According to Innovation, Science, and Industry Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, the Canadian government has ordered Bluevec Technologies and Pegauni Technology to shut down operations following a national security review. Although…

Airbnb reports that it will use machine learning technology to crack down on parties this summer. “It’s really important that those spaces are respected and treated with care, and that, you know, people are not showing up and taking…

Boston Metal, an MIT spinout, is ready to commercialize a new steelmaking method that can potentially clean up steel’s dirty processes. Typically, making steel involves mining iron ore, reducing it in a blast furnace with the addition of…

The United States Space Force Commercial Space Strategy was released in early April. It included a question regarding the U.S. government buying commercial, foreign-made, off-the-shelf products rather than investing solely in developing and…
