If we could not find room for it, time to digest it, or a reason to run it during the past week, we have collected it here. Not a recap for the week, but a cleanup of pieces we received and just could not get to.

Quantum Machines Aims To Bridge The Digital And Analog Worlds | “Quantum computing does not promise us better computing. It promises impossible computing,” says Itamar Sivan, CEO and co-founder of Quantum Machines, a Tel-Aviv-based startup. Founded two years ago, it has raised $23 million from Battery Ventures and others. “For a startup company,” says Sivan, “we have very substantial revenues—we sell to everyone who is in the quantum computing race.” Source: Forbes.

DoD Invests in Stronger Microelectronics Base | The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has announced the awarding of over $197 million to advance and strengthen U.S. microelectronics technology, necessary for the development of many other DoD technology priorities, including artificial intelligence (AI), 5G wireless communications, quantum computing, and autonomous vehicles. As Michael Kratsios, the acting under secretary of defense for research and engineering explains, “The microelectronics industry is at the root of our nation’s economic strength, national security, and technological standing. Today’s awards support the Department’s mission to promote microelectronics supply chain security and accelerate U. S. development of the best in circuit design, manufacturing, and packaging. It’s critical for the DoD and American industry to work together in meaningful partnerships to ensure the United States leads the world in microelectronics far into the future.” Source: Microwaves & RF.

Science & Research
Lower current leads to highly efficient memory | Researchers are a step closer to realizing a new kind of memory that works according to the principles of spintronics which is analogous to, but different from, electronics. Their unique gallium arsenide-based ferromagnetic semiconductor can act as memory by quickly switching its magnetic state in the presence of an induced current at low power. Previously, such current-induced magnetization switching was unstable and drew a lot of power, but this new material both suppresses the instability and lowers the power consumption too.
