The race to break AI's memory wall

New Capabilities

Manufactured the first commercial monolithic 3D chip

A team from Stanford, Carnegie Mellon, Penn, and MIT built a true 3D chip stacking memory directly on logic at a U.S. commercial foundry. Presented at December's IEEE electron devices conference, it beats conventional flat chips by 4x in tests and could deliver 1,000x energy efficiency gains in future generations. It uses carbon nanotube transistors and resistive RAM built at low temperatures, creating vertical data highways instead of today's horizontal crawl.

Quantum computing crosses into commercial scale

New Capabilities

Pending acquisition target of IonQ

Quantum computing has spent four decades as a physics experiment with a marketing team. On May 6, 2026, IonQ reported $50 million in quarterly revenue — up roughly 556% from a year earlier — and reaffirmed full-year guidance of $225 to $245 million, putting one of the field's leading pure-play companies on track for a quarter-billion-dollar year.
