In the age of artificial intelligence (AI), the ability to process vast volumes of data efficiently is paramount. This has prompted a pressing need for enhanced memory devices that can keep pace with the computational power required by AI algorithms. Traditional data storage solutions, while functional, often fall short of meeting the stringent demands for
In the wake of its monumental acquisition of Activision Blizzard, Microsoft has decided to trim its gaming workforce by an additional 650 employees. This decision, made amidst an increasingly competitive gaming landscape, highlights the paradox of rapid growth and the need for organizational efficiency. Phil Spencer, head of Microsoft Gaming, articulated the rationalization behind the
Imagine a world where sensors can adhere to your skin, detecting various biomechanical signals with precision and flexibility. This futuristic technology is no longer just a dream, as recent research from Peking University has brought us one step closer to creating customizable tactile sensors that revolutionize the way we interact with electronic devices and prosthetics.

This algorithm, featured in Quantum Information Processing, represents a significant leap forward in quantum computing by offering exponential improvements over previous methods. The Shukla–Vedula
In a highly anticipated decision, the top EU court is set to rule on a 13-billion-euro tax case involving tech giant Apple and Ireland. This case, dating back to 2016, centers around the European Commission’s claims that Ireland allowed Apple to avoid paying billions in taxes through favorable tax arrangements. The legal battle between the
Apple recently announced the launch of the highly anticipated iPhone 16, which is designed to leverage the power of artificial intelligence. This move is seen as a significant step for the tech giant to not only boost its sales but also assert its dominance in the ever-evolving technology landscape. The announcement of the iPhone 16
Apple has been a dominating force in the technology industry for years, with its iPhone setting the bar high for smartphones. The company is now entering a new era with the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) technology into its devices, starting with the highly anticipated iPhone 16. This shift is expected to revolutionize the industry
As the Australian government releases voluntary artificial intelligence (AI) safety standards, the central message from federal Minister for Industry and Science, Ed Husic, emphasizes the need to build trust in AI technology. However, the question remains: why is trust in AI crucial, and why should there be a push for more people to use it?
Semiconducting materials have long been integral to the development of electronic components, with two-dimensional (2D) materials emerging as a new frontier in this field. These materials offer unique optoelectronic properties that could revolutionize the design of ultra-thin and tunable electronic devices. However, despite their potential advantages, interfacing 2D materials with gate dielectrics has posed challenges,
