Week In Review: Auto, Security, Pervasive Computing


Apple uncorked its spatial computer, the Vision Pro, and a new operating system, the visionOS. The “infinite screen real estate” basically untethers the screen from the box, allowing users to work in multiple windows with no space limits. While the device garnered mixed reviews, largely based upon its $3,500 price tag, the implications of mixed-reality computing are potentially significant ... » read more

How Chip Engineers Plan To Use AI


Experts at the Table: Semiconductor Engineering sat down to discuss how AI is being used today and how engineers expect to use it in the future, with Michael Jackson, corporate vice president for R&D at Cadence; Joel Sumner, vice president of semiconductor and electronics engineering at National Instruments; Grace Yu, product and engineering manager at Meta; and David Pan, professor in the ... » read more

Research Bits: March 28


Modeling how the nose smells The first 3D molecular-level picture of how an odor molecule binds to and activates an odorant receptor (OR) on olfactory cells in the nose may help us understanding and eventually be used to build a map of all the receptors. Scientists at UC San Francisco (UCSF) used cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), which UCSF developed, to take a moving picture of the wiggly r... » read more
