As artificial intelligence (AI) transforms industries, state-of-the-art models have exploded in size and capability. However, deploying these models on resource-constrained edge devices remains a significant challenge. Smartphones, wearables, and IoT sensors face stringent limitations on compute, memory, power, and communication, creating a gap between demanding AI models and edge hardware capabilities that hinders the deployment […]

For the past fifty years, researchers of semiconductor technology have felt like walking inside a tunnel. There was a single path forward – two-dimensional down-scaling of device sizes, also referred to as 2D miniaturization. With device features approaching atomic scale, semiconductor technology has reached the exit of this tunnel. The future is bright at the […]

Most of us think of electricity as a clean and reliable source of energy, which flows out of the plug whenever we need it. The reality is far more complex. The reliability of our electricity supply is increasingly threatened by extreme weather, causing more frequent power outages. The cleanliness of our electricity supply varies greatly […]
