Researchers at Johns Hopkins University have unveiled a new approach to chipmaking that uses lasers with a 6.5nm ~ 6.7nm wavelength — also known as Soft X-rays — that could increase the resolution of lithography tools to 5nm and below, reports Cosmos, citing a paper published in Nature .

The scientists call their method 'beyond-EUV' — suggesting that their technology could replace industry-standard EUV lithography — but the researchers admit they are currently years away from building

The Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC), the country’s top internet regulator, has reportedly banned its biggest tech companies, including ByteDance and Alibaba, from buying Nvidia’s AI chips. According to the Financial Times , the CAC said that these institutions should stop testing the new RTX Pro 6000D and cancel their orders, even though several companies had already indicated their interest in purchasing tens of thousands of these GPUs, which were set to replace the H20

You don’t need to spend big money for the best applications, and here is proof! I’ve collated a list of the best free applications for creating content, writing code, making bootable USB drives, and, most essential of all, entertainment.

These are all of the apps that I commonly use when making content on Tom’s Hardware, and sometimes my overly neglected blog. All of these applications are for

A new report from top Apple insider Ming-Chi Kuo claims that the company will finally introduce touchscreen technology to its Mac lineup, beginning with an OLED MacBook Pro set to enter mass production in late 2026.

Kuo made the revelation on X early on Wednesday morning. "MacBook models will feature a touch panel for the first time, further blurring the line with the iPad," he noted. "This shift appears to reflect Apple’s long-term observation of iPad

TSMC is by far the largest operator of ASML's EUV lithography tools in the industry, with a second-to-none supply chain of both hardware and raw materials. The company's requirements for EUV pellicles (a thin membrane that protects the photomask, which acts as a stencil for chip patterns) have gotten incredibly high. The requirements are so extreme that TSMC intends to retrofit one of its 200-mm fabs to produce proprietary

The latest version of AMD's FidelityFX, typically known as FSR 4, delivers a markedly superior result to FSR 3, making it a big win for those who can run it. But that privileged group is limited to folks with AMD Radeon RX 9000 series GPUs based on the company's RDNA 4 architecture. Or is it? As it turns out, you can actually run FSR 4 on nearly any GPU, thanks to AMD itself leaking the source code last month

Looking Glass has taken the wraps off its new monitors with Hololuminescent Display (HLD) technology. The firm has been in the holographic displays market for a decade, but it believes its new HLD monitors, which are just 1-inch thick and deliver up to a 4K resolution, can deliver “magical holograms that can be deployed anywhere.” HLD will allow the firm’s immersive light field to be rolled out anywhere standard video screens are used today.

AMD has quietly released four new Ryzen CPUs without any official acknowledgement beyond adding the specs of each CPU to its website. The new chips are the eight-core Ryzen 7 9700F, six-core Ryzen 5 9500F, six-core Ryzen 5 7400, and six-core Ryzen 5 5600F.

The Ryzen 7 9700F and Ryzen 5 9500F are new chiplet-style Zen

In the weekend and change since its launch, Borderlands 4 has quickly become notorious as a PC resource hog the likes of which we have never seen before. Now, after days of personally crusading against complaints of poor optimization and performance issues, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford has taken to offering personal tech support to players struggling for performance.

After early reports at the weekend that Borderlands 4 was crushing even the most powerful PCs — the 5090 can't manage native 60fps in
