At the lowest level, a modern computer is built from an enormous number of extremely simple electronic decisions. Transistors act as microscopic switches, controlling whether electrical current is allowed to pass through a circuit. By representing these electrical states as binary values (typically 1 and 0) engineers can organize transistors into structures capable of processing…

A Field-Programmable Gate Array, or FPGA, is a semiconductor device that can be configured after manufacturing to perform custom digital logic functions. Unlike a traditional CPU, which executes software instructions sequentially, an FPGA contains programmable logic blocks, routing resources, memory elements, and digital signal-processing components that can be arranged into specialized hardware circuits. Engineers commonly…

Hitachi Energy is putting $528 million into a new Mississippi transformer factory as the U.S. power system runs into one of the least glamorous but most consequential bottlenecks of the AI and electrification boom: not enough transformer manufacturing capacity. On September 15, Hitachi Energy announced a new power-transformer manufacturing facility in Gallman, Mississippi. The company…
