Welcome to the new age of resource nationalism.
A researcher explains developments in using light rather than electrons to transmit information securely and quickly, even over long distances.
The disruption of Taiwan’s chip industry would affect everyone.
Washington’s protectionist industrial policy is fracturing trade and investment flows based on geopolitical considerations.
A new way to make high-frequency light could make it easier to look at things 10 times smaller than conventional microscopes can see.
The car industry is celebrating an increase in production as the chip shortage subsides, but it could be short-lived.
Superconductors are materials that can transmit electricity without any resistance. Researchers are getting closer to creating superconducting materials that can function in everyday life.
Historians will pinpoint Biden’s decision on 7 October 2022 as the moment at which US and Chinese technology decoupling became inevitable.
The UK has some clusters of excellence in semiconductors, but it was badly exposed by recent shortages.
Semiconductor chips are electronic devices that store and process information. Today they can contain billions of microscopic switches on a chip smaller than a fingernail.
Taiwan dominates the global market for microchips – something that Washington is well aware of.
China’s innovation plans and international trade tensions may risk an economic ‘decoupling’ with the West.
Europe’s share of the global microchip market has dropped from 44% to 8% in three decades.
In the short term, the war is causing energy prices to soar and prompting fears of famine in some countries. In the long term, it could remake the modern global supply chain.
The story of how America’s great chipmaker’s main strength became an albatross around its neck.
Wingtech Technology is taking over Newport Wafer Fab for £65 million.
Shutdowns at microchip factories, panic-buying by electronics manufacturers, and legions of workers and home-schoolers needing new devices, have put a global squeeze on the electronics market.
Quantum communication has the potential to provide truly secure global communications.
Modern supply chains have become very efficient, but that means disruptions of any kind can lead to delays and shortages.
