North Carolina’s Spruce Pine, devastated by Hurricane Helene, is the world’s main source of high-purity quartz needed for semiconductors, the production of which could be disrupted The southeastern United States was hit badly by Hurricane Helene with scores of people

New Flexible RISC-V Semiconductor Has Great Potential – Slashdot

“For the first time, scientists have created a flexible programmable chip that is not made of silicon…” reports IEEE Spectrum — opening new possibilities for implantable devices, on-skin computers, brain-machine interfaces, and soft robotics. U.K.-based Pragmatic Semiconductor produced an “ultralow-power”
