Micron earnings suggest chip downturn could be worse than Wall Street expects

Micron earnings suggest chip downturn could be worse than Wall Street expects

Micron Technology Inc. executives warned of a semiconductor slowdown in late June, but now say a “sharp and sudden” drop in demand has exceeded even those expectations, suggesting the current glut of chips could get worse. Micron MU, -1.94% reported a worse-than-expected fiscal fourth quarter on Thursday, with revenue down 23% from a year ago, …

Plants Evolved Even Earlier Than We Thought, Exquisite 3D Fossils Suggest

The oldest three-dimensionally preserved green algae may suggest that plants arose earlier than previously believed. The fossils are over 541 million years old, which places them at the end of the Ediacaran period (635 to 541 million years ago). It was at the dawn of the Cambrian Period (541 million to 485.4 million years ago) …

Researchers suggest a new way to generate a light source from entangled photons

Credit: Pixabay/CC0 Public domain Entanglement is a strange phenomenon in quantum physics where two particles are intrinsically linked to each other, regardless of the distance between them. When one is measured, the other measurement is instantly data. Researchers from Purdue University have proposed a new, unconventional approach to generating a special light source made up …
