When Intel established its Intel Foundry Services division in early 2021, it was clear that it needed the contract chipmaking unit to be on par with Samsung and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. in terms of scale as fabs and production nodes are getting costlier. The goal was ambitious from the start, and it looks like the company intends to be rather aggressive too as it plans to become the second largest foundry by 2030.

“Our ambition is to be the No. 2 foundry in the world by the end of the decade, and [we] expect to generate leading foundry margins,” said Randhir Thakur, the president of Intel Foundry Services, in an interview with Nikkei Asia.

ChopValue, a Canadian company, repurposes millions of chopsticks every year as shelves, furniture and countertops.

A Swedish company has secured funding to build the first large-scale hydrogen-based steel plant, which could remove 95% of CO2 emissions from the reduction process.

Excessive technology use could cause future humans to form a second eyelid and alterations in the hands and back.

Advancements in technology change how people work and function, often speeding up the process or creating efficiency. However, there is a possibility that technology is affecting our bodies, especially from using it often.

A research project commissioned by TollFreeForwarding warns that using technology too much could form abnormalities. Researchers collaborated with a 3D designer to make images of a “future human” that shows tech-related problems from daily technological use. Researchers named the 3D model “Mindy”.

Electrical charge can change the size of water droplets and cause them to ‘explode.’

A new scientific experiment has proven that electrically charging clouds can change the size of the droplets in fog or, possibly, droplets in a cloud that is having trouble moving to fall as rain.

The new experiment assists a “constipated cloud” in becoming rainy, according to a report published by The Guardian on Thursday.
