Assembly language is a simple way to tell a computer what to do using small storage spaces called registers. Registers are basically like tiny boxes inside the processor that hold numbers while you work with them. To add two numbers, you first put each number into its own box, then you add the contents of…

Illinois and NETL used coal-derived carbon nanodots as an atomic-scale interface that enables ultrathin high-k dielectrics on 2D MoS2 transistors.
-
Teradyne’s Titan HP now combines system-level testing with per-device burn-in for high-power AI processors, targeting reliability before chips reach data centers.

Australian biotech company Cortical Labs is building computers that combine living human neurons with silicon electronics. Its CL1 platform grows neural cells directly on a custom chip, where electrodes send signals into the network and record the neurons’ electrical responses. Cortical Labs markets the idea as “Actual Intelligence” rather than artificial intelligence. That phrase is…
