Universities around the world are forming partnerships with semiconductor companies and governments to help fill open and future positions, to keep curricula current and relevant, and to update and expand skills for working engineers. Talent shortages repeatedly have been cited as the number one challenge for the chip industry. Behind those concerns are several key drivers, and many more dom... » read more

Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing

By Liz Allan - 14 Jul, 2023 - Comments: 0

Google was hit with a class action suit in U.S. District Court in San Francisco, alleging data scraping from millions of users without consent and violation of copyright laws to train and develop its AI products. Last month, the same law firm filed a suit against OpenAI for ChatGPT. Despite calling for a pause on development of advanced AI in March, Elon Musk launched xAI, a new company focu... » read more

Meminductor identified Researchers at Texas A&M University identified the meminductor circuit unit. Similar to the memristor and the memcapacitor, a meminductor has a memory-like nature where its properties are dependent on previous values. The resistor, capacitor, and inductor comprise the three classical circuit elements. The memristor and the memcapacitor, while earlier theorized, ha... » read more
