After an extraordinary couple of years in the electronics sector dominated by the impact of the pandemic and supply chain challenges caused by pent-up demand, there are signs of calmer waters on the horizon, characterised by a more modest but predictable period of growth. According to the World Semiconductor Trade Statistics, the global semiconductor market […]
In 1951, the Department of Defense (DoD) needed a homeland air defense system. To develop one, they established with MIT the federally funded research and development center Lincoln Laboratory, where the nation’s first homeland air defense system, SAGE, was successfully prototyped. In the nearly 70 years since then, the Laboratory has continued to innovate technology […]
This year, Skeleton became only the 4th European company ever to be inducted into the Global Cleantech 100 Hall of Fame after seven consecutive nominations on the Global Cleantech 100 list.

Obsolete electronic components are an issue many companies think about very little – until they have to think about them a lot. In the world of electronic components, IHS Markit reports that the average life cycle of integrated circuits has decreased by about 30 percent over the past two decades. Organizations that partner with a […]
REDSTONE ARSENAL, Ala. – Missile defense experts at Raytheon Technologies Corp. will carry out upgrades and technology insertion to a new radar system to help defeat quickly evolving missile threats such as hypersonic weapons. Officials of the U.S. army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, Ala., announced a $122 million three-year contract Tuesday to the Raytheon […]
Discussions have begun on equipping the Air Self-Defense Force’s PAC-3 surface-to-air antimissile systems with radar better able to counter hypersonic weapons, several government officials said. Source: Japan to equip PAC-3s with more advanced radar to counter hypersonic weapons – The Japan News
WASHINGTON — For about half the summer, 18 newly completed F-35 fighter jets sat outside Air Force Plant 4, a Lockheed Martin-operated facility in Fort Worth, Texas. Instead of flying to military bases around the world, the F-35s were parked while U.S. Defense Department officials tried to untangle the supply chain mess that had stuck […]
In 2011, the price of Gold (Au) surged to $1900/oz which had a drastic impact on Wirebonded ICs using Au wires. IC suppliers scrambled to convert from Au to copper (Cu) wire on as many products as they could. However, automotive ICs were reluctant to make the jump due to lack of reliability data and […]

The advice “dig two graves, before you set out” applies to anyone bent on revenge. An old aphorism is hardly going to divert the US from its mission to restrict Chinese access to its world-beating technology, slowing the progress of its rival towards self-sufficiency in high-performance chips.However, American policymakers are unlikely to have fully appreciated […]
