• be Morris Chang • survive WWII in China, escape to America in 1949 • go to MIT, fail the PhD qualifying exam twice • decide academia is a trap, join Texas Instruments • spend 25 years climbing the ranks, building their entire semiconductor division into a global powerhouse • get passed over for the CEO job because of corporate politics • 1985: you are 54 years old. Most executives are buying golf clubs and preparing to retire. • the Taiwanese government begs you to move to a tiny island and build their tech sector from scratch • you look at the global chip industry and see a massive, glaring inefficiency • the industry rule at the time: "Real men have fabs" (if you want to design chips, you have to spend billions to build the factory to make them) • Chang realizes: "What if a factory just prints everyone else's designs, and promises never to compete with them?" • 1987: founds TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) at age 56 • invents the "pure-play foundry" model • traditional hardware giants like Intel and IBM laugh at him for just doing the "dirty work" • suddenly, a guy named Jensen Huang (NVIDIA) and companies like Apple realize they can design world-class chips without spending $10 Billion on a factory • TSMC single-handedly births the entire "fabless" technology industry • scales the physics down to the atomic level, printing circuits smaller than a biological virus • becomes an absolute, unbreakable monopoly on advanced human technology • accidentally builds a "Silicon Shield" around Taiwan • the US and China both realize that if Morris Chang's factories go offline for a single week, the entire global economy (smartphones, fighter jets, AI, car manufacturing) instantly collapses • steps down, comes out of retirement at age 78 during the 2008 financial crisis to ruthlessly fire the CEO, doubles R&D spending while everyone else is panicking, and permanently crushes Intel • 94 years old, smokes a pipe, plays competitive bridge, and controls the single most important bottleneck on planet Earth "We do not compete with our customers. We are everybody's foundry."

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Thank you America, thank you for your support, thank you for this visit. Thank you @POTUS, Congress, and the American people. Ukraine needs just and lasting peace, and we are working exactly for that.

Dear @ZelenskyyUa, dear Ukrainian friends, you are not alone.

I min tråd, viste jeg et billede af Europas elnet, hvordan vi hænger sammen, og jeg lavede en måling som viste at frekvensen i min stikkontakt, stort set er den samme som i resten af Europa. Og sådan skal det være. Man hvad sker der lige med de baltiske stater, Estland, Litauen og Letland?

Magnetic field and inductance calculations directly within your 3D CAD editor. This is a fantastic work of art beyond the proprietary tools available.

En politisk besluttet reduktion af vores universitets-optag er en potentiel katastrofe for vores fremtidige BNP ⤵️ #dkpol

Here's a 10-minute video on the #TippingPoint risk of the Atlantic overturning circulation #AMOC: my keynote at the Tipping Points conference in Exeter last September.

We are now officially part of @Infineon! All required regulatory clearances have been obtained and today we announced the closing of the acquisition. As of now we’re paving the way for more energy-efficient solutions together. ow.ly/TzrT50Q0fuy #GaN #widebandgap

24 timer senere kan jeg forstå på henvendelserne der er kommet, at det her måske var lidt overkill til en onsdag aften kl 22:30 i september 😅 Men 10/10 fra en deltagers synspunkt

Gad vide hvor hurtigt elcyklerne køre om 5 år🙈

TSMC on route with 3nm and 2nm semiconductor chips. Reminder: A silicon atom size is about ~0.2 nm in size, meaning that for just the smallest silicon "crystal" of 2 silicon atoms bound together is ~0.5 nm. Difficult to comprehend the accuracy required to make this.

If transaction is approved, it brings one of the leading GaN power semiconductor companies to Germany. Big for battery management and data centers.

TAK for mange års investeringer i grøn forskning! Det virker – AAU-forskere er langt med at omdanne vindkraft til grønt brændstof til skibe. 👏 #dkenergi #dkpol #dkgreen #dkforsyning #dkforsk

Har du nogensinde tænkt over, hvorfor strømforsyningen til din computer er blevet mindre i løbet af årene, eller hvorfor rækkevidden på elbiler er steget? @videnskabdk @asgerbj #DKforsk spr.ly/60173w6hx

Danmarks mest populære #elbil Tesla Model 3 kan nu fås fra 359.990, men Tesla Model Y til 374.990!?😳 Det kommer til at sende rystelser i markedet ➡️ To af Danmarks meste eftertragtede #elbiler sættes markant ned i pris i en tid, hvor der fortsat er stor interesse i elbiler🚗🔌

Jeg har skrevet en kort gennemgang af vores forskning i nye halvleder-chips og deres anvendelse i den grønne omstilling @AAUEnergy #dkgreen #dkforsk
