The U.S.-China rivalry is increasingly centered on semiconductor and rare-earth chokepoints as Japan tries to revive its chip industry and secure a strategically vital role in global supply chains. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/05/18/japan/us-china-semiconductor-chokepoints/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #japan #us #china #donaldtrump #taiwan #southkorea #chipsandscienceact #nvidia #h20 #h200 #huawei #tsmc #rapidus #apple #semiconductors #microchips

Semiconductor chokepoints define U.S.-China rivalry

Two chokepoints now stand out: advanced semiconductors for China and rare-earth minerals for the United States.

Silicon Valley is racing to develop brain-computer interfaces for cognitive enhancement, but ethical, technical and privacy risks make their use on healthy adults or children highly questionable. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2026/03/30/world/boosting-your-brain-with-a-chip/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #neuralink #brain #microchips #neurotechnology #superintelligence #ai #artificialintelligence #parkinson #mentalhealth

Boosting your brain with a chip carries a price

While hybrid intelligence via brain-computer interfaces may one day be possible, experts warn that for healthy adults and children, the risks likely outweigh the benefits.

Why scientists are gluing microchips on butterflies
Monarch butterflies are on their way back to Canada and a select few will be rocking a tiny microchip for the flight north. CBC’s Jorge Barrera went to the El Rosario butterfly sanctuary in Mexico to learn more about the project that scientists hope will unlock some mystery around the monarch’s migration.

#ScientificAmerican - The Iran war disrupts global helium supply and artificial intelligence chip makers

The closure of the Strait of #Hormuz has trapped a third of the world’s commercial helium, threatening the irreplaceable coolant that makes MRI scanners and advanced #microchips possible

Nützt der Bevölkerung, die unter dem #Iran-#Krieg
leidet vielleicht, weil es den Profit der amerikanischen #Gotteskrieger schmälert?
Nur so ein Gedanke.

URGENT UPDATE: BRYANSK KREMNIY EL PLANT DESTROYED Vlog 1344: War in #Ukraine

Ukrainian Defence Forces successfully demilitarised the #KremniyEl #microelectronics factory in #Bryansk with #StormShadow air-launched #missiles. Kremniy El is a critically important link in the chain of production of russian "high-precision" #weapons. The plant specialized in discrete semiconductor devices and integrated #microchips.

Microchips and Macro Power - Rethinking Pakistan's Chip Strategy - CommandEleven

The character of warfare is undergoing a profound transformation. Modern battlefields are no longer defined solely by tanks, fighter jets, or missile systems; they are increasingly shaped by algorithms, computational speed, and microelectronic superiority. At the heart of this transformation lies semiconductor technology, which now serves as the foundational infrastructure for emerging military innovations, particularly artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing.
