Submarine cables are crucial for global internet traffic, handling over 95% of data transmission. They enhance intercontinental connectivity, lower latency, and extend internet access, especially in regions with weaker infrastructure. TeleGeography reports over 600 submarine cable systems worldwide, including the 2Africa cable by companies like Meta and Vodafone, spanning 45,000 kilometers across three continents

As AI continues to attract widespread attention, the race to build large-scale data centers is ongoing. Regarding energy consumption, the power demand of hyperscale data centers has reached GW, equivalent to the output of a nuclear power unit

President Donald Trump wasted no time reshaping US energy policy, signing the "Unleashing American Energy" executive order on his first day in office. The sweeping directive dismantles the Biden administration's clean energy framework while bolstering fossil fuel industries, marking one of the sharpest policy reversals in recent US history

Donald Trump's "Unleashing American Energy" executive order threatens to reshape America's energy landscape, potentially increasing carbon emissions by one billion tons by 2050 while creating an unexpected advantage for Tesla in the domestic auto market, according to industry analysts

If two competitive strategies within an industry can both become dominant at different times, it is natural for these strategies to shift as industry conditions change

Over the past 70 years of semiconductor industry development, there has been a significant shift towards deconstructing the industrial value chain into individual value chain nodes

Submarine technology has evolved dramatically with the advancement of technology, transforming naval tactics and global maritime security. From the first US Navy submarine, the USS Holland (SS-1), commissioned in 1900, to modern nuclear-powered submarines equipped with artificial intelligence (AI), the development of submarines has reshaped military operations and strategic maritime initiatives worldwide

Recent US Section 301 tariffs targeting China's semiconductor industry have spotlighted the mature process segment. While the definition of mature processes remains somewhat fluid, it generally encompasses nodes of 15nm and above that Chinese manufacturers can produce, though some definitions extend to 7nm

During the keynote speech at the IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) held at the end of 2024, 2D Field Effect Transistors (2D FET) and carbon nanotubes were mentioned as potential future technologies for logic ICs

The Poisson distribution is widely used in artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning. In Bayesian inference, probability distributions often help solve problems that would otherwise be difficult to address. A specific application is Poisson regression, a type of regression analysis designed for modeling count data. For instance, Poisson regression can be used to estimate the frequency of catching a cold after flying or predict the number of emergency service calls during an event

As environmental awareness rises, consumer demand for electric vehicles (EVs) is gradually increasing, providing opportunities for the development of the EV market. The Taiwanese government is actively promoting EV development by implementing various policies and subsidy measures to encourage R&D and usage

Unlike Europe's Dark Ages, Japan's semiconductor industry has maintained its strength throughout its history. Japan dominates the semiconductor materials industry and holds one-third of the semiconductor equipment market. The country continues to maintain a significant position in NAND Flash, power devices, automotive semiconductors, and CMOS image sensors

Two pivotal areas in the semiconductor industry- standard DRAM and mature logic processes—are undergoing significant shifts. Despite their independence, both segments share common drivers of transformation

In response to the semiconductor shortages caused by the pandemic and the ongoing tensions between the US and China, countries have increasingly focused on strengthening their semiconductor and AI industries. This push is driven by a desire to enhance security and achieve greater self-sufficiency. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in industry events like Computex and SEMICON Taiwan over the past two years
