Self-help and Paradox of American Semiconductor

Image
There is no doubt that the technological competition between China and the United States will be the main axis of the global technology industry for a long time from the past to the future. And the chip occupies a unique position among them. All along, the Chinese media have been analyzing the impact of the US’s implementation of chip supply and chip sniping on China, and China’s possible response measures. In other words, we have been looking at what China should do. However, as a long-term competition mechanism, the impact of chip competition is by no means unilaterally released to China. The United States, standing at the other end of the field, is also desperate for a small chip. Overall, the semiconductor policy of the United States in the past ten years has been quite consistent. It can be summed up as follows: build factories in-house and engage in sniping outside to reconcile the contradiction between large companies and local employment. The motivation for these behaviors lies...

Tactile Sensor Arrays May Benefit Skin Monitoring

The manipulator can smooth grabbed soft fragile tofu, weight only 5 mg of small spiders, its motion sensor can be accurately captured, recently, Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen) (hereinafter referred to as the "Harbin Institute of Technology (Shenzhen)") Hu Hong joint team, a professor at city university of Hong Kong Yang recruited professor bao team is put forward based on the piezoelectric thin film, tactile sensor array with row + column electrode structure, relevant results published in the journal of Advanced Science. The research provides a new strategy for tactile sensor design that is expected to benefit areas such as electronic skin, health monitoring, animal movement detection, and robotics.  "There are three main innovations in this research." According to Hu Hong, the multifunctional tactile sensor array can measure the pressure, bending radius and bending direction, and at the same time distinguish the mode of external stimulus in real-time, re...
