Purdue University has announced that the Scalable Asymmetric Lifecycle Engagement (SCALE) microelectronics workforce development program will extend five years and expand with additional Department of Defense (DOD) funding of $10.8 million and a ceiling of $99 million.

Ixana, the wearable hardware company developing high-speed human-computer interfaces, today announced it has closed $3 million in seed funding and is backed by Uncorrelated Ventures, Samsung Next, Evonexus, Paradigm Shift and Hack VC.

A previously unknown Seattle startup, founded by semiconductor and technology industry veterans, says it has developed an energy-efficient chip capable of running advanced AI applications on lightweight, wireless augmented reality headsets that will operate all day without recharging.

I have always had a passion for science education. It was instilled in me from childhood and the people who excelled where I am from in India were science majors.

The transistor was invented 75 years ago, and the integrated circuit soon thereafter. The progress in making transistors smaller also led to them becoming cheaper, which was famously noted as Moore’s law.

A key objective of electronics engineering studies focusing on radio communication is the development of increasingly smaller, lighter, and low-power radio components.

Indiana is developing its engineering-rich, high-tech talent base to position the state as a leader in the country’s growing microelectronics manufacturing industry.

On a recent afternoon, an unusual group of visitors peered through a window at Purdue University students tinkering in a lab: two dozen executives from the world’s biggest semiconductor companies. The tech leaders had traveled to the small-town campus on the Wabash River to fix one of the biggest problems that they – and the U.S. economy – face: a desperate shortage of engineers.

Today at SigstoreCon, the Sigstore community announced the general availability of its free software signing service giving open source communities access to production-grade stable services for artifact signing and verification.

The quantum internet, with its promise of data teleportation and ironclad security, sounds like something out of Star Trek.
