What competencies are really important when choosing an EMS partner?
Modern electronics manufacturing is developing faster than ever. Shorter product life cycles, ever-increasing quality requirements, advancing miniaturization and the need for rapid prototyping means, that companies require partners who can work in highly variable and precise conditions. Against this backdrop, the EMS (electronics manufacturing services) model has become one of the key elements of the modern supply chain.
Samsung, KT Corporation validate AI-RAN on commercial networks
The AI-RAN optimization technology verified by the two companies automatically applies optimal configurations for each user — rather than for the network as a whole — based on real-time wireless conditions.
Qolab secures strategic investment from Western Digital
Together, the companies aim to advance next-generation nanofabrication processes that improve qubit performance, reliability and scalability, paving the way for practical quantum systems that bridge scientific research and real-world application.
Imec achieves wafer-scale solid-state nanopores using EUV lithography
Imec has presented the first wafer-scale fabrication of solid-state nanopores using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography.
Nvidia pilots chip-tracking software amid rising smuggling concerns
Nvidia is piloting a new software feature that can verify the physical location of its AI chips, aiming to make illicit GPU diversion and smuggling significantly harder. The initiative, described in detail by Reuters, uses telemetry already present in data-centre deployments to estimate where a device is operating — without modifying the chip itself or embedding direct GPS-style hardware tracking.
