…of the nation’s leading semiconductor experts from industry and academia began a five-and-a-half year journey to complete a moonshot challenge: develop electronic design automation (EDA) tools for 24-hour, no-human-in-the-loop semiconductor chip layout generation. Led by UC San Diego and backed with $17.2 million from DARPA, the researchers did it.

…in plasmas, metals or semiconductors. They lie at the heart of plasmonics. In such systems, plasmons bunch up and spread out as a group, enhancing and manipulating electromagnetic energy and concentrating optical energy beyond the diffraction limit of light. But much of this energy in common materials is quickly lost,…
