Former Google AI chief Jad Tarifi argues pursuing a PhD in AI era may not be the best path. He highlights the growing gap between academia and industry, where real-world innovation and opportunities are moving faster than traditional research programs.
Cooling towers are essential structures in a wide array of industrial and commercial applications, from power plants and manufacturing facilities to HVAC systems. Their primary function is to dissipate waste heat into the atmosphere, and the efficiency of this process…
Narayana Murthy, IIT and IIM leaders argue the engineers vs managers divide is outdated. Education now trains hybrid professionals in AI, strategy, and design.
India’s semiconductor hub ambitions face progress and pitfalls. Gujarat leads, but is India truly on track or still stuck in promises?
The semiconductor industry has been in a state of near-constant evolution. Over decades, we’ve shrunk transistors, redefined architectures, and ridden the relentless rhythm of Moore’s Law. Yet one thing has barely changed: the way chips are developed. Hardware first. Software…
Tea app, a women-only dating safety app, is facing intense scrutiny after confirming a data breach that exposed over 72,000 images, including identity verification selfies and government ID documents. The app, which gained popularity by offering tools to anonymously review…
India’s drone market is growing rapidly, driven by defence needs. Explore key players, government support, and critical gaps in India’s drone defence stack — from loitering munitions to anti-drone AI systems.
In one of India’s most high-profile crypto breaches, CoinDCX has confirmed a theft of approximately ₹368 crore ($44 million) — not from user wallets, but from its internal operational account. The July 19 hack has since exposed critical gaps in…
India just took a leap toward chip independence with the launch of its first commercial RISC-V SoC — Secure IoT by Mindgrove. I’m exploring how this chip is built, what it brings to our semiconductor ambitions, and whether it’s ready…
Explore how the AXI protocol powers modern AI accelerators by enabling high-throughput, low-latency data transfers across chips, cores, and memory subsystems.
Carry lookahead adders solve the delay problem in ripple-carry designs by predicting carry signals in advance. This article breaks down the difference between standard and tree-based CLA logic, and why log₂(n)-stage trees are used in high-speed chips today.
Learn how AMBA (Advanced Microcontroller Bus Architecture) powers communication inside modern SoCs. From APB to AHB and AXI, explore the protocols, FSMs, and design benefits — explained clearly for embedded and chip engineers.
Learn how wind turbines deliver stable 50Hz power using AC–DC–AC conversion, IGBT rectifiers, and smart control systems. Perfect for engineers, energy enthusiasts, and renewable tech followers.
In an iconic “Disney vs Midjourney Lawsuit” ,Disney and Universal are suing Midjourney for letting users generate AI images that resemble their most iconic characters—Elsa, Darth Vader, Minions, and more. At first glance, it looks like a copyright dispute. But…
A few months ago, Nvidia quietly revealed a $4.5 billion hit to its books. Not because its chips failed in the lab. Not because customers walked away. But because the H20, a chip built to survive U.S. sanctions in China,…
From solar rooftops to fast-charging batteries, Indian Energy startups are now at the heart of energy innovation. While legacy players adapt slowly, these young companies are offering speed, software, and scalability—precisely what the future demands.
More AI hardware chips are being designed today than ever before, but they are no longer built to serve everyone the same way
On April 28, 2025, a massive grid outage plunged large parts of Spain, Portugal, and southern France into darkness — killing at least eight people, halting communications, and exposing a fragile truth: even developed nations aren’t immune to large-scale blackouts.…
Explore three lesser-known inventions — CMOS, copper interconnects with CMP, and FinFETs — that quietly transformed the semiconductor industry and enabled today’s chip innovations."
Rare earth metals are becoming the quiet choke point in the global AI race. These rare earths along with critical metals—like gallium and germanium—are essential to manufacturing AI chips, high-frequency components, and power devices. China currently accounts for over 90%…
