The world of semiconductors is entering uncharted territory. For decades, chips have gotten faster, smaller, and cheaper—a trend famously captured by Moore’s Law, predicting that the number of transistors on a chip would double roughly every two years. However, the industry is hitting a wall. Transistors, the tiny switches inside chips that allow computers to process information, are becoming so small that it’s hard to keep making them any smaller. The solution? Rethinking how chips are built and how we power the devices of the future.....

In the fast-paced world of artificial intelligence (AI), pushing the boundaries of what is possible is more crucial than ever. Just two years after OpenAI’s ChatGPT took the tech industry by storm, the development of generative AI has hit some formidable obstacles. Rising energy costs, scalability challenges, and the complexities of building more advanced models are slowing progress. Yet, history has shown that constraints often lead to remarkable innovation. The race to surpass these barriers is not just shaping the future of AI—it’s also laying the groundwork for new leaders in technology, investment, and geopolitical power.....
