Smart t-shirt with sound waves Researchers at ETH Zurich developed a smart textile that uses acoustic waves passed through glass fibers to measure touch, pressure, and movement. The researchers said that using acoustic waves rather than electronics makes measurements more precise with low power consumption and the textiles lighter, more breathable, and easier to wash. It also uses readily avai... » read more

Check out the Inside Chips podcast for our behind-the-scenes analysis. The U.S. government is rescinding a Biden-era AI export rule that would have imposed complex restrictions on how U.S. chip and AI technology is sold abroad, a move welcomed by companies like Nvidia, reports Bloomberg. While new, simpler guidelines are expected in the coming months, the decision introduces short-term uncer... » read more

McKinsey issued a new report on the state of the chemical supply chain for semiconductors in the U.S., citing potential shortages of high-purity materials such as tungsten, aluminum and copper, lack of access to CMP slurries and photoresists for EUV, and rising competition for high-k precursors that can fetch higher prices outside of the U.S. CSIS weighed in on the U.S. goverment's recent ... » read more

Experimental Characterization Results and State-of-the-Art Device-Level Studies of DRAM Read Disturbance
By Technical Paper Link - 25 Mar, 2025 - Comments: 1

A new technical paper titled "Revisiting DRAM Read Disturbance: Identifying Inconsistencies Between Experimental Characterization and Device-Level Studies" was published by researchers at ETH Zurich. Abstract "Modern DRAM is vulnerable to read disturbance (e.g., RowHammer and RowPress) that significantly undermines the robust operation of the system. Repeatedly opening and closing a DRAM ro... » read more
