These Tiny Chiplets Could Coat Nearly Anything In Digital Intelligence

Imagine if silicon chips were smaller than a grain of sand and could be made using a laser printer: everything under the sun could be made unobtrusively smart. But that’s not science fiction, and you don’t have to imagine too hard — because researchers have already done it.

New Dedicated AR Chips Could Keep Your Reality Augmented Forever

Augment reality has always been cool, but it’s never quite been practical for extended use. Crazy processor demands chew up battery power and deliver a workable experience, but not one that can last. Metaio aims to but an end to that with the first ever dedicated augmented-reality chip, and it’s coming as soon as the end of this year.

MIT Is Making A Chip That Makes You A Better Smartphone Photographer

Most of the post-processing done by a camera is handled by software that MIT researchers believe could be a lot smarter, faster and user-friendly. So they’re developing a single chip that can handle these operations with remarkable efficiency.

Scientists Have Made The First Truly 3D Microchip

The fastest microchips we have can only pass their data from side to side and front to back, no matter how close their components are squeezed together. A new chip developed by researchers at University of Cambridge, on the other hand, can pass data up and down too, making for the world’s first truly 3D microchip.
