Here the authors demonstrate a silicon integrated optical phased array combined with optical frequency microcomb for parallel LiDAR system. On-chip non-volatile optical memories significantly ...

Google (GOOG, GOOGL) is backing away from diversity hiring targets, setting up a stark divide in Silicon Valley as corporate DEI goals come under intensifying scrutiny in Washington, D.C. A ...

Apple outsources to TSMC the front-end manufacturing phase of fabricating the chips on silicon wafers. Now that fabrication is underway, the packaging is being handled by OSAT (Outsourced ...

Apple introduced the first Apple silicon Macs back in 2020 ... so those who purchased Intel-based Macs will receive macOS updates throughout the life of their machines. Most developers have ...

However, the universe may harbour life forms based on entirely different principles and biochemistries. Life elsewhere could use different elements as building blocks. Silicon, with its chemical ...

This method is promising, but a challenge is to make the structure of the metamaterial controllable, thereby allowing the properties of the metamaterial to be adjusted based on real-word conditions.

In the grandeur of the universe, the tapestry of life may be woven from stranger threads than we ever dared to dream, and spun from materials far different to our own. Why did the Mavs trade Luka ...

If they exist, silicon-based life forms may exhibit unique characteristics and adaptations. For instance, they might use silicon-based structures for support, analogous to bones or shells in ...

But we still don't know if silicon-based life forms exist at all, or what they would look like. The origins of life on Earth There are competing hypotheses on how life arose on Earth.
