Toshiba Memory to Acquire the SSD Business of Taiwan’s LITE-ON Technology

Toshiba Memory Holdings Corporation, which will rebrand as Kioxia Holdings Corporation on October 1, 2019, announced today that it has signed a definitive agreement with LITE-ON Technology Corporation to acquire its Solid State Drive (SSD) business.

Intel Updates Advanced Packaging Technologies at Semicon West, the Latest in a Decade (or more) Evolution

In the last several years, Intel has had a series of announcements in the packaging arena, focused on the integration of multiple styles of chips in the same package to improve performance and broaden system capabilities.

Stretchable Wireless Sensor Could Monitor Healing of Cerebral Aneurysms

A wireless sensor small enough to be implanted in the blood vessels of the human brain could help clinicians evaluate the healing of aneurysms — bulges that can cause death or serious injury if they burst. The stretchable sensor, which operates without batteries, would be wrapped around stents or diverters implanted to control blood flow in vessels affected by the aneurysms.

Intel Optane DC Persistent Memory Improves Search, Reduces Costs in Baidu’s Feed Stream Services

Intel today announced Baidu is architecting the in-memory database of its Feed Stream services to harness the high-capacity and high-performance capabilities of Intel Optane DC persistent memory.

Superior Process Quality With Picosun’s new R&D PEALD Technology

Picosun Group, a supplier of AGILE ALD (Atomic Layer Deposition) thin film coating solutions, reports excellent results obtained with its next generation R&D PEALD (plasma-enhanced ALD) technology.

Researchers Develop Process Flow for High-Res 3D Printing of Mini Soft Robotic Actuators

SUTD, SUSTech and ZJU researchers’ proposed process flow guides 3D printing of miniature soft pneumatic actuators. Integrating the prints into a robotic system offers potential applications in jet-engine maintenance and minimally invasive surgery.

Theory Reveals the Nature of Crystals Defects (of Silicon Carbide)

Imperfections of crystal structure, especially edge dislocations of an elongated nature, deeply modify basic properties of the entire material and, in consequence, drastically limit its applications. Using silicon carbide as an example, physicists from Cracow and Warsaw have shown that even such computationally demanding defects can be successfully examined with atomic accuracy by means of a cleverly constructed, small in size, model.
