Researchers have opened a new frontier in quantum science and technology by using photons and electron spin qubits to control nuclear spins in a two-dimensional material. This will enable applications like atomic-scale nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and the ability to read and write quantum information with nuclear spins in 2D materials.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday signed the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022 into law, paving the way for a potential major wave of semiconductor manufacturing in the United States, including Indiana.

A unique library of computer code, built on equations derived for quantum mechanics, could be used to model problems as diverse as the flow of electrons through a nanoscale device or the price of copper in a commodities market. Begun more than a decade ago through the Nanoelectronic Modeling Group at Purdue University, elements of the library are today used by Intel for advanced transistor designs, while the most current version is available for commercial licensing through Silvaco Inc., or free to academics through the Purdue Research Foundation.

U.S. semiconductor manufacturer SkyWater Technology Inc (SKYT.O) on Wednesday announced plans to invest $1.8 billion for a chip research and production facility in Indiana, in partnership with the state and Purdue University.

The semiconductor business has its ups, with record demand for electronics, and downs, with rising tensions between China and microchip dominator Taiwan.

Game changing technology for electric cars is being developed right here in Indiana. Researchers at Purdue are designing pavement that can charge an electric vehicle as it drives on it. “That is done by electromagnetic fields that are sent from the transmitter in the roadway to the receiver in the vehicle,” detailed Purdue professor and researcher Steve Pekarek.

A professor of electrical and computer engineering at Purdue University says a partnership with Taiwan-based MediaTek could serve as a model for other semiconductor companies to establish operations in Indiana. Purdue and MediaTek on Tuesday detailed plans to establish a new chip design center in the university’s Discovery Park District, which is expected to create up to 30 jobs.

With fuel costs breaking the bank, you might be considering buying an electric vehicle. For those worried about traveling long distances between charges, range anxiety could be a deterrent. But scientists are trying to address that.

Federal agents have begun questioning U.S. technology companies on how their computer chips ended up in Russian military equipment recovered in Ukraine.

CNBC’s Diana Olick joins Shep Smith to report on a technology built into the roadway that allows electric vehicles to charge while moving.
