SEALSQ increased its EeroQ stake to back helium-qubit development further. The follow-on investment targets a US-centred quantum hardware roadmap, and a planned Geneva demonstration linking quantum processors with post-quantum secure semiconductor components.
Rice researchers patterned diamond cooling layers across 2-inch semiconductor wafers. The team reports selective-area diamond growth that cut device operating temperatures by 23°C, using process flows intended to fit heterogeneous integration and high-power electronics.
Tower and Xanadu have tightened their silicon photonics partnership further. The companies have co-engineered a production flow for Xanadu’s custom material stack on Tower’s high-volume SiPho platform, targeting manufacturable photonic quantum hardware for fault-tolerant systems.
MIT has demonstrated paired PUFs using standard CMOS fabrication steps. A new “twin fingerprint” method lets two chips authenticate each other directly, avoiding external storage of secret fingerprint data, and targeting power-constrained paired devices such as medical sensors.
Ericsson is pushing AI inference deeper into 5G radio hardware. Ahead of MWC 2026, the company has launched AI-ready Massive MIMO radios with neural network accelerators, plus RAN software updates for beamforming, positioning, and coverage prediction.
Danisense has widened its DN1000ID range with higher isolation distance. The DN1000ID-CP02 extends creepage and clearance to 38 mm and targets high-current, high-voltage power measurement, including EV chargers and energy storage hardware, with 1 ppm linearity at 1000 A continuous.
Niobium has lined up Samsung Foundry for FHE silicon production. A partnership with SEMIFIVE covers design, packaging, and test for an 8nm 8LPU accelerator intended to run fully homomorphic encryption workloads at practical speeds in cloud and AI infrastructure.
Nordson will showcase coating and soldering systems at APEX 2026. In Anaheim, the company plans live demonstrations focused on process control, traceability, and higher-yield PCB assembly, including updates to its ASYMTEK Select Coat platform and its SELECT Synchro selective soldering line.
Mouser is shipping u-blox MAYA-W3 Wi-Fi 6 modules now globally. The host-based range targets healthcare and industrial systems with SISO Wi-Fi 6/6E, Bluetooth Low Energy 5.4 with LE Audio support, multiple antenna options, and evaluation kits intended to accelerate integration.
