Europe’s processor programme has completed its second major development stage. Demonstrations covered Rhea1 silicon, RISC-V acceleration, scientific software, design tools, and memory compression.
Researchers have demonstrated efficient perovskite LEDs using vacuum deposition techniques. Controlled crystallisation produced 21.9% efficiency alongside narrow, high-purity light emission.
IQE has raised revenue guidance as photonics demand accelerates sharply. Indium-phosphide wafers for AI data centres are leading the recovery.
Microsoft will deploy AMD’s Helios rack architecture across Azure infrastructure. New processor-led virtual machines will support AI pipelines, EDA, and technical computing.
Keysight is bringing guided structural simulation into electronics development workflows. Multiphysics begins with drop, shock, and vibration analysis before prototyping.
ABB is expanding direct-current conversion through its Advantics acquisition agreement. The French specialist adds silicon-carbide hardware, firmware, and controls for demanding power infrastructure.
Siemens is extending SoC automation through its Defacto Technologies acquisition. The deal connects RTL creation, implementation assessment, and verification within a broader EDA flow.
Anglia has added BeRex RF semiconductors across its European portfolio. The agreement covers amplifiers, switches, gain blocks, and front-end devices.
XP Power has extended its enclosed industrial AC/DC supply range. LBA models cover 35W to 350W with universal input.
QinetiQ is industrialising laser-source technology developed through the DragonFire programme. HELENA spans mobile counter-drone systems and larger naval configurations.
