Extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV) is a groundbreaking technology used to create the world's fastest microchips, essential for powering advanced AI models. This technology, once thought impossible, involves using a powerful laser to create extreme ultraviolet light that etches circuits onto silicon wafers. The Dutch company ASML is the only firm capable of producing these advanced etching machines. The development of EUV was nurtured in U.S. nuclear labs and tech companies, and the U.S. is keen to prevent China from accessing this technology.

The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center and Nationwide Children's Hospital have opened a Proton Therapy Center, offering a "game changer" cancer treatment that minimizes damage to healthy cells and organs. The $100 million facility provides proton therapy for adults and children battling cancer, allowing patients in central Ohio to receive treatment closer to home. Proton therapy is especially important for pediatric patients, as it tailors radiation to the tumor's shape and reduces exposure to normal organs. The center also focuses on researching and developing other advanced treatments.

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has opened the public comment phase for its proposal to require "Advanced Impaired Driving Prevention Technology" in all cars sold in the United States. The technology would passively monitor drivers' blood alcohol content. NHTSA's push for mandatory implementation comes after a fatal two-car accident in California in 2021. The proposed system utilizes a breathalyzer-like device on the steering wheel and a near-infrared light scanner in the ignition switch. NHTSA acknowledges the need for both effectiveness and reliability in the technology, as false positives could have serious consequences. The public can submit comments on the proposed rules via regulations.gov.

Researchers at Rice University have discovered that a nanocomposite made from mixing hexagonal boron nitride (a soft variety) with cubic boron nitride (a material second to diamond in hardness) exhibits unexpected properties. The composite outperformed its parent materials in different functionalities, such as low thermal conductivity, making it suitable for heat-insulating materials in electronic devices. The optical property of the composite also showed a significant increase after heating. The study opens up possibilities for tailoring boron nitride materials with a range of mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties, making them useful in next-generation microchips, quantum devices, and other advanced technology applications.
