Running a microdot meth lab tonight to qualify our new photoresist that combines calixarene/ hyperbranched/boronate polymers, MOF-PAG/thiophene, and GO quenchers for a PFAS-free, low-defect, substrate- agnostic resist with ArF/KrF compatibility, which can also be used on advanced nodes

Tom's hardware just ripped off and translated an article straight out of @nrcnl.bsky.social right after I quoted a post of theirs on X and mentioned it. Russian attempts at lithography is the theme.

"These measurements do not, by themselves, determine whether the low-energy states detected by interferometry are topological."
Progress nonetheless and the hunt for elusive majorana intensifies and continues.

Microsoft claims quantum-computing breakthrough — but some physicists are sceptical
The tech giant aims to make ‘topological’ quantum computers that will reach useful scales faster than competing technologies.

Expected. A simple case of Jevons paradox. When a resource becomes more affordable and efficient, more people are able to acquire it, leading to an overall increase in consumption. Happened with automobiles, smartphones, air travel etc.

Powerful weapons and tech are ultimately inconsequential when it comes to natural forces and lessons in humility await contenders. Gazans know, and that's why they endure and empathize despite the genocide.

What to buy the techie who has everything?
If you thought $373 million was a little bit beyond your budget to get your hands on the latest chipmaking machines, ASML will let you have one for just $228 – provided you don't mind it being made of Lego.…

Admire the fact that intel took bold technical bets but they did so too intensely on unproven techniques like contact over gates and single dummy gates as well adoption of materials like cobalt and tungsten into their process which lead to heir technical struggles.
