Intel, which once dominated the computer chip market as an American innovator, now finds itself chasing its past successes.

Modern computer chips contain billions of transistors etched onto a fingernail-sized piece of silicon. In fact, a typical smartphone processor now contains on the order of 15 billion transistors—a ...

UNSW Sydney nano-tech startup Diraq has shown its quantum chips aren’t just lab-perfect prototypes – they also hold up in real-world production, maintaining the 99% accuracy needed to make quantum ...
