Chip Industry Week In Review


Check out our new Inside Chips podcast. President Trump’s ‘Liberation Day’ tariffs were announced this week. The executive order stated that semiconductors and copper imports are not directly subject to the reciprocal tariff, although the exemption may be short-lived. Semiconductor equipment and tools were not mentioned, leaving the industry searching for clarification. Regardless, hig... » read more

Research Bits: Jan. 28


Optical memory unit Researchers from Nokia Bell Labs developed a new type of optical memory called a programmable photonic latch that enables temporary data storage in optical processing systems. It is modeled after a set-reset latch. The integrated programmable photonic latch is based on optical universal logic gates using silicon photonic micro-ring modulators and can be implemented in co... » read more
