NUVIA raises $240M from Mithril to make climate-ready enterprise chips
Climate change is on everyone’s minds these days, what with the outer Bay Area on fire, orange skies above San Francisco, and a hurricane season that is bearing down on the East Coast with alacrity (and that’s just the United States in the past two weeks). A major — and growing — source of those […] Continue reading NUVIA raises $240M from Mithril to make climate-ready enterprise chips
Atom-by-atom assembly makes for cheap, tuneable graphene nanoribbons
The wonder material graphene can take many forms for many different purposes, from transparent films that repel mosquitoes to crumpled balls that could boost the safety of batteries. One that has scientists particularly excited is nanoribbons for appli… Continue reading Atom-by-atom assembly makes for cheap, tuneable graphene nanoribbons
New Silicon Carbide Semiconductors Bring EV Efficiency Gains
