The new Finnish startup is disrupting the ways of controlling large-scale quantum computers by delivering a completely new class of electronic devices – superconducting transistors. These novel devices combine the computational power of transistors with the ultra-low power dissipation of superconductors. S-Transistors is developing first-of-its-kind quantum motherboards that will provide energy- and cost-efficient orchestration of cryogenic quantum computers at scale. Espoo,

This follows the March 2025 announcement with President Trump and Secretary Lutnick in which TSMC agreed to expand its original $65 billion investment commitment by an additional $100 billion. The total planned investment in the United States is now a record $265 billion.

A hard drive maker's nanophotonics push is on track to outscale East Asian laser producers within 18 months. Seagate's Springtown facility in Derry/Londonderry, Northern Ireland, is on course to become the world's largest producer of semiconductor lasers by volume within roughly 18 months, according to evidence given to the UK's Northern Ireland Affairs Committee. The plant already leads laser production in Europe and currently manufactures between one-fifth and one-quarter o
