Taiwan Semi is speeding up U.S. chip production due to demand, CEO says

Signage for Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) at it's fabrication plant in Phoenix, Arizona, US, on Monday, March 3, 2025. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company CEO C.C. Wei on Thursday said the company is seeing "strong interest" from its leading U.S. customers and is working to speed up its volume production schedule by several quarters. TSMC is the world's largest contract chip manufacturer, and the company has pledged to invest a total of $165 billion in advanced semic

Dyneema’s New Fiber Composite Is Lighter, Stronger, and More Durable Than Ever

If you went back in time 150 years and told people that in the future they will carry everything they need to live for a week on their backs, you'd get run out of town. Carrying gear is the job of horses and mules, not people! Fast forward to the present, though, and here we are, schlepping into the backcountry with the essentials on our back. Progress! The good news is that today everything you need to live for a week weighs considerably less than it did 150 years ago. The ultralight backpacki

This $10 accessory was the best thing I ever bought for my Galaxy Watch

Andy Walker / Android Authority I’ve only bought a handful of items under $10 that have genuinely changed my life — an incredible Basque cheesecake I snuffed down a few months ago comes to mind — but few are tech-related. I’ve written about the cheap Android Auto dongle that has made my car so much smarter, but it was pushing $25. However, I use another product daily that costs far less than that, and even less than a good brunch. Consumers don’t spend nearly enough time pairing their smartwat

Aesop in Words of One Syllable

In the 19th Century, British and American children’s literature evolved from puritanical moral and religious instruction to delightfully imaginative tales meant to awaken a sense of wonder. But morality and imagination could certainly thrive together. Æsop’s Fables in Words of One Syllable is an excellent example of this. The ancient Greek storyteller Aesop may or may not have existed, and he may or may not have written the hundreds of morality tales attributed to him. Yet his stories have been

6 Fabrics That Will Keep You Fashionably Cool in the Summer Heat

This summer is predicted to be hotter than normal, so you may want to stock up on cooling clothing for when you're outdoors, sleeping or if you don't have air conditioning. Cooling clothing often has properties like temperature regulation and is made from specific cooling fabrics to help you stay sweat-free even when the sun is beating down. These items can also be helpful if you're working out in the heat. How do cooling clothes work? Your body temperature going down is what gives you the sen

Building semiconductor plants in the US takes twice as long, costs twice as much as in Taiwan

The big picture: The U.S. and many Western markets are simply not as efficient as Taiwan in building semiconductor fabrication (fab) operations. According to reports, 18 new fab construction projects are planned for 2025 alone, making it crucial to address these challenges. The West must streamline fab construction processes to catch up with the well-established semiconductor ecosystems of Taiwan and other Asian manufacturing hubs. TSMC encountered significant challenges when it began construct
