The team used metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) — a fabrication process that involves vaporizing ingredients, forcing a chemical reaction and depositing the products onto a substrate — to grow large sheets of molybdenum disulfide and tungsten diselenide and fabricate over 1,000 of each type of transistor. By carefully tuning the device fabrication and post-processing steps, they were able to adjust the threshold voltages of both n- and p-type transistors, enabling the construction

20 Years Ago, Batman Began a New Era of Hollywood

There are plenty of constants in popular culture, and Batman is near the top of the list. He’s everywhere in some fashion, particularly in movies, and his various cinematic versions have been significant in some way that speaks to how both the audience and Warner Bros. view the character. Of those, Batman Begins may be the most important. The first chapter of an eventual trilogy from director Christopher Nolan and writers David S.

Chinese AI Companies Are Using an Absurd Loophole to Get Around US Chip Restrictions

In case you haven't heard, the United States is embroiled in a life-and-death arms race. Only it's not conventional weapons or even world-ending ICBMs we're rushing to build, and it's definitely not a matter of life and death. The purported arms race, of course, is the rush to build artificial intelligence, and the US' adversary — for reasons even the Pentagon's most committed war hawks struggle to articulate — is China.

Lenovo Legion Go S with Steam OS fixes so much, but can it beat a Steam Deck?

Edi Gathegi Hopes Being Mr. Terrific Redeems His Short ‘X-Men’ Role

There’s a lot of superpowered characters in Superman, and one of the most notable is Michael Holt, aka Mr. Terrific. It isn’t just that this is his first time on the big screen, it’s also the matter of who’s playing him: Edi Gathegi, who many likely remember as Darwin from X-Men: First Class, aka the mutant who died despite having the power to evolve and adapt to anything. Sooner or later, conversations about First Class remind you how dumb his death was, and Gathegi seems to agree. Talking to

Neanderthals Spread Across Asia With Surprising Speed—and Now We Know How

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-03-18 18:00:29

Neanderthals and modern humans split from a common ancestor around 500,000 years ago, with Neanderthals leaving Africa for Europe and Asia long before modern humans joined them hundreds of thousands of years later. There, Neanderthals dispersed as far as Spain and Siberia. Our prehistoric cousins likely first reached Asia around 190,000 to 130,000 years ago, with another substantial migration to Central and Eastern Eurasia likely between 120,000 and 60,000 years ago.
