AI memory bottleneck may ease as ultrathin chip stacks quadruple high-bandwidth memory density

A Korean research team has developed a technology that enables the stable stacking of more than 10 ultrathin semiconductor chips, each only one-fifth the thickness of a human hair. A research team successfully achieved an integration density approximately four times higher than that of commercial high-bandwidth memory (HBM) through a novel process that simultaneously transfers…

New comprehensive data platform could transform Alzheimer's research, treatment

With an increasingly aging global population and no available preventive treatments, Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias are poised to become an even larger public health challenge. The mechanisms underlying Alzheimer’s disease are difficult to study because the disease has a long developmental period during which changes in the brain can occur years before symptoms appear….

New field-tested design framework improves bored pile foundations in weathered rock

Large-diameter bored piles are essential for major infrastructure, from elevated railways and long-span bridges to high-rise buildings. Yet when these piles extend into weak, weathered sedimentary rocks such as siltstone and sandstone, engineers face a persistent design challenge: the rock behaves neither like conventional soil nor like strong, intact rock. Instead, its load-bearing capacity depends…
