The Technology Needed to Create Next-Gen Semiconductors
The semiconductor industry is running towards a nano-scale wall. For decades electronics have become smaller, faster and smarter. Today, a chip’s transistors are so densely packed and tiny that manufacturers are forced to build and design complex 3D architectures, at the nanometer scale, just to keep up with Moore’s Law. Discover how Atom Probe Tomography…

Where Harris and Trump stand on the future of American science
[Updated on September 16, 2024 with new details from FactCheck.org] The current Biden-Harris administration and Project 2025, a potential blueprint for a second Trump term, offer starkly different visions for the future of American science. Conversely, Project 2025—a conservative policy roadmap from a think tank featuring input from multiple former government officials — proposes a…
