WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will impose a 100% tariff on computer chips, raising the specter of higher prices for electronics, autos, household appliances and other essential products dependent on the processors powering ...

The days of computer chips being mere pieces of tech are long gone. Now, they are very much weapons. Weapons of innovation, wealth, control, and power. That's why all the superpower nations are obsessed with these semiconductors. The world runs on them.

If computer chips could be built from semiconductors just one atom thick, they could pack far more transistors into a smaller space while using less power. So far, however, the technology has been held back by the weakness of "p-type" transistors,

America’s economic growth today is dependent on the success of the artificial intelligence sector—which might be crippled if China were to cut off chip imports to the United States. A recent House Oversight Committee hearing entitled “Shaping ...

Scientists in South Korea have turned an overlooked form of a semiconductor into reliable tiny electronic switches. Their work suggests a possible route to adding thin layers of circuitry to future computer chips without exposing existing components to excessive heat.
