Did you know? The smartphones, smartwatches, washing machines, and even cars we use every day all contain an “invisible brain”—the embedded system. The microcomputers that allow developers to easily create various smart gadgets are quietly changing the world. This all began over 60 years ago. In the 1960s, the prototype of embedded systems appeared in … Read more
DSP Digital Signal Processing, or 数字信号处理. In 1971, Intel released a microcontroller, also known as a microprocessor, which can be programmed to issue commands to data. These commands operate on the numerical calculations and movements within registers, such as adding or subtracting two numbers, or incrementing a number a thousand times, which is equivalent to … Read more
The actuator is a device with controllable deformation capabilities and is considered the “heart” of miniature robots. A research team from Tsinghua University has recently developed a film-like miniature actuator that allows miniature robots to achieve continuous shape changes and “lock” specific action forms, enhancing their adaptability to various environments. The researchers stated that using … Read more

Author | Jin TingStaff at Nanjing Zhi OptoelectronicsAfter just finishing the release of five PDK toolkits, we are now preparing for the launch of the large model OptoChat AI. Over the past month, our team has been in “high-speed operation” mode, focusing on innovations and industrial applications of photonic chip technology, rolling out one new … Read more
Recently, the semiconductor industry in Taiwan has been buzzing with activity. Even the street vendors selling braised pork rice are saying, “It seems that TSMC might have to change its name to American Semiconductor!” This statement sounds exaggerated, but upon reflection, it is not without basis. Take a look at TSMC’s recent major moves. They … Read more
Recently, domestic tech giants have invested 2 billion to procure NVIDIA’s H20 computing power, accelerating the large-scale implementation of AI applications. The policy has classified computing power as a new type of productive force, with the State Council aiming for a computing power scale exceeding 300 EFLOPS by 2025. Shenzhen is promoting “training vouchers” to … Read more
Despite the ongoing restrictions by the United States on NVIDIA GPUs exported to China, the latest data released by IDC, a global third-party authority, shows that NVIDIA’s chip shipments remain the largest in 2024. According to this authoritative report, the gap among the top six is quite significant. The first place is NVIDIA with 1.9 … Read more
Your finger suddenly paused on the phone screen—NVIDIA and Anthropic, two Silicon Valley giants, are embroiled in a social media spat that is reshaping perspectives. An NVIDIA spokesperson sarcastically pinned their opponent’s accusations to the wall of shame with the term “live lobster smuggling chips,” while Anthropic retaliated with a suspected smuggling route map. This … Read more
In data centers, pluggable optical transceivers convert electronic bits into photons, transmitting them to various corners of the room and then converting them back into electronic signals, making it a critical technology for controlling massive amounts of data in artificial intelligence. However, this technology consumes a significant amount of power. According to Nvidia, in a … Read more
