Silicon photonics has rapidly moved from a research curiosity to a foundational technology for next‑generation sensing, compute, and communication systems. Nowhere is this shift more visible than in autonomous vehicles  and advanced robotics , where the demand for high‑bandwidth, low‑latency, and ultra‑reliable sensing is reshaping system architectures. The industry is finally acknowledging: Silicon photonics cannot scale without equally advanced packaging. The breakthroughs

China has taken a step that many in the semiconductor world believed was still years away: the development and testing of a homegrown extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography prototype . Long considered the most complex machine humans have ever built, EUV systems have been exclusively produced by ASML in the Netherlands — until now. A series of detailed reports reveal that China has quietly constructed a factory‑floor‑sized EUV prototype  inside a laboratory in Shenzhen. This br

Picture a high-volume fab at peak production. Wafers are moving smoothly, dashboards are green, and shipments are on schedule. Then, a single defect — invisible to the naked eye — creeps onto an EUV reticle. At first, it seems harmless. But as the reticle continues printing, the defect replicates across thousands of dies. When the wafers reach test, yields collapse. What looked like a microscopic imperfection has now cascaded into multi-million dollar losses, shipment delays,

AI Is Winning the World — But What’s Powering AI? From LLM's to autonomous drones, the global race to dominate artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, economies, and geopolitics. But beneath the buzzwords and billion-dollar models lies a quieter revolution — one happening at the atomic level. AI’s hunger for speed, bandwidth, and energy efficiency is driving chipmakers to rethink materials at the heart of their designs & one material is quietly stepping into the spo

“From launching rockets to launching revolutions — India’s tech journey just hit a new milestone.” In a moment that blends national pride with cutting-edge innovation, India has unveiled Vikram , its first fully indigenous 32-bit processor chip. Developed by the Semiconductor Laboratory (SCL)  under ISRO , Vikram isn’t just a chip — it’s a symbol of India’s bold leap into the global semiconductor arena. A Chip That Carries a Legacy Named after Dr. Vikram Sarabhai , the vision

In soccer — or football, as it’s known across most of the world — success hinges on more than just flashy goals. Behind every winning team is a disciplined, tactical system where defenders quietly break up attacks, hold the line, and enable the offense to shine. While goal-scorers grab the headlines, it’s often the defenders who are the unsung heroes of a high-performing team. Now, shift that lens to modern technology. Ever wonder what makes your phone smarter, your TV sharpe
