CFET + GaN (Complementary FET with Gallium Nitride channels) is a forward-looking combination of vertical transistor stacking and ultra-wide-bandgap semiconductors designed to merge logic density with extreme switching speed and efficiency. While it’s still largely in the research and prototyping phase, there are several published and demonstrated examples from major semiconductor R&D groups and labs…
Microfluidic cooling is one of the most fascinating upcoming technologies for breaking through CPU thermal limits — it literally routes liquid coolant through microscopic channels inside the silicon package (or even within the silicon die itself). Here are some real-world examples and prototypes to illustrate how it works and what’s coming: 1. IBM & ETH…
As of July 2025, internet speeds in the United States have seen steady improvement, driven by the expanding deployment of fiber-optic infrastructure. The national average download speed has reached 214 Mbps, reflecting a 9% year-over-year increase from 196 Mbps in 2023, according to recent analyses of speed test data. This growth highlights a shift toward…
In July 2025, Japan redefined the boundaries of internet technology by achieving a world-record-breaking internet speed of 1.02 petabits per second (Pbps), equivalent to 127,500 gigabytes per second. This staggering feat, accomplished by the National Institute of Information and Communications Technology (NICT) in collaboration with Sumitomo Electric and European partners, is not just a number—it’s…

Microsoft has recently unveiled Majorana 1, a groundbreaking quantum chip poised to revolutionize the field of quantum computing. This innovation leverages a novel material known as a topoconductor to create more stable and scalable qubits, potentially accelerating the development of practical quantum computers. The Challenge of Qubit Stability Quantum bits, or qubits, are the fundamental…
The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D has been making waves in the tech world—but not all of them for the right reasons. Recently, reports have surfaced about these high-performance processors burning out or shorting in their sockets, causing concern among enthusiasts and professionals alike. From physical damage to CPUs and motherboards to potential manufacturing flaws, this…
OLLama is a great tool for running large language models (LLMs) locally on Mac, but it’s not the only solution available. Whether you’re looking for different operating system compatibility, better performance, or alternative model support, several alternatives allow you to deploy and experiment with AI models on your own machine. Here are some of the…
Artificial Intelligence (AI) AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. Current AI technologies largely rely on traditional digital computing architectures and algorithms, specifically machine learning, to identify patterns, make predictions, and perform tasks that usually require human intelligence….
In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has made incredible strides, impacting industries from healthcare to entertainment and reshaping our daily lives with tools we may not even realize are AI-powered, like recommendation systems and voice assistants. These advancements have been driven by progress in data availability, computational power, and sophisticated models capable of generating human-like…
