xMEMS Labs Inc. has put a tiny fan called µCooling inside high-speed computer connectors for the first time. These special connectors help AI data centers move information around. The fan was created for small phones and other portable devices.
Now, it can cool off little parts that get really hot as the connectors handle more data. Normal cooling systems are too big to reach these parts. The DSP is one piece that gets particularly toasty.
The fan is built from tiny silicon bits. It shoots out quick bursts of air with no sound or vibration. It can pull up to 5 watts of heat away from a single point, which helps the DSP perform better and keeps it running longer.
The air moves through its mini-tunnel, which prevents dust from getting...
Taiwan news reports say TSMC's suppliers will follow the company as it expands in the US. TSMC pledged $100 billion to its Arizona plants in March. But TSMC isn't producing much there currently. So, suppliers don't have a big reason to open US offices, even considering tariffs.
It might take TSMC up to 10 years to build a US supply chain as strong as what it has in Taiwan and China. The Taiwan government spoke with some chemical suppliers about it. They decided TSMC's production volume right now doesn't justify the cost of setting up in the US. They believe it will take seven or eight years to establish fully.
However, if TSMC reaches the production levels it's aiming for, most of its suppliers will likely move to the US. This...
PowerA just revealed the final piece of its PAC-MAN x PowerA Collection: the Enhanced Wireless Controller for Nintendo Switch—PAC-MAN Neon Arcade Edition. The officially licensed controller is designed for people who collect retro gaming gear and play on Nintendo Switch. It pays tribute to PAC-MAN's past but has modern features for today's games.
The controller has awesome ghost lights that PowerA calls Lumectra. When they shine, a hidden PAC-MAN design appears. You can choose from four bright light modes. They look like they came straight out of an old-school arcade.
Two buttons can also be customized. You can remap them in the middle of a game without pausing. The rechargeable battery lets you play wirelessly for up to 10 hours...
NVIDIA wants to keep AI factories safe from attackers. AI factories are where lots of complex AI stuff happens. To this end, NVIDIA created something called DOCA Argus to watch for threats in real time. It works with NVIDIA BlueField to protect AI without slowing things down.
Argus runs separate from the main computer, so attackers can't even see it's there. It connects with other security systems companies already use, allowing them to monitor their AI setups continuously.
Cisco is partnering with NVIDIA on this. They want to make it simple for companies to deploy and defend AI systems. The idea is to embed protection into every part from the beginning.
There's a huge amount of data out there, making it tricky for companies to...

ASUS created a router that connects devices outdoors. Its ZenWiFi BD4 works far away from home, so people can stream videos or control smart devices anywhere outside.
The device moves data fast through Wi-Fi 7 networks. Users reach speeds near 3600 Mbps across wide areas, and wireless signals reach more than two thousand feet from the router.
Tough materials protect the router from weather damage. It survives temperatures from minus thirty to sixty degrees Celsius, and water and dust cannot harm it.
Flexible power connections help users install the router easily. Ethernet and special ports make setup simple. Workers can attach the router to walls or poles.
Network security guards against online threats, parental controls block...
