Fujitsu completes post-K supercomputer CPU prototype, begins functionality trials

Fujitsu Ltd. and RIKEN recently announced that the joint development of post-K, a supercomputer that Japan’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology (MEXT) has set forth as a successor to the K computer, is moving forward, with the goal of beginning full operations around 2021.


Interaction of paired and lined-up electrons can be manipulated in semiconductors

The way that electrons paired as composite particles or arranged in lines interact with each other within a semiconductor provides new design opportunities for electronics, according to recent findings from Nature Research.


Global semi industry reaches $115.8B in Q1

Global semiconductor industry revenue declined 3.4 percent in the first quarter of 2018 falling to $115.8 billion. Semiconductor industry performance was negatively affected by the declining sales and first-quarter seasonality in the wireless communications market.

MPD Dual Port USB Chargers with 3.4 A Output

MPD’s AS234A-A is an upgraded version of its AS232 with total output increased from 2.1 A to 3.4 A. Enhanced water-resistant design with no assembly gap on the front face means fewer chances of water getting in. Raised surface also helps prevent water from getting into the USB port. The specially designed sealing PVC cap protects the chargers against even powerful water jets (when sealed). Class leading 3.4 A charges multiple devices at full speed and provides reliable output with EMC suppression and full short circuit/overheat protection. >> Learn more
