☆ Devastation from Hurricane Helene could bring semiconductor chipmaking to a halt

In addition to this, our teams are joining the local taskforces to try to restore the most basic services and bring further supplies to Spruce Pine,” The Quartz Corp said in a statement. The Quartz Corp facility near Spruce Pine, North Carolina, is seen during a CNN flyover of the area on Monday, September 30. And while quartz is abundant around the world, the kind of ultra-high-purity quartz mined in Spruce Pine is not. The Spruce Pine mines provide an estimated 80% to 90% of the world’s high-purity quartz — experts say the exact amount is proprietary and unknown — supplying semiconductor manufacturers like chipmaking giant Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company. However, Wang said that despite the scale of the devastation in Spruce Pine, there is still reason for optimism.

☆ Hurricane Helene's devastation has blocked access to a one-of-a-kind mine for AI chips

Hurricane Helene tore through North Carolina over the weekend, causing widespread devastation. Spruce Pine was hit with over 2 feet of rain between Tuesday and Saturday, The Associated Press said. The two firms play a huge role in the global supply chain that ultimately ends in smartphones and powering cutting-edge AI systems. "The quartz in Spruce Pine formed deep in the Earth without a lot of water carrying in other impurities," Yinan Wang, a geologist, said. That's because the Spruce Pine mines are singular in their scale, he said.

☆ Forced Uyghur labor is being used in China's solar panel supply chain, researchers say
  + stars: | 2022-11-29 | by ( Aaron Mok | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
The world's biggest solar producers employ forced Uyghur labor, according to new research. The alleged use of forced Uyghur labor could threaten the growth of the global solar supply chain. The rest of the solar panel parts, like solar cells and solar panels, are assembled in other plants across China, the researchers wrote. China's dominance of the global solar supply chain could slow down the world's transition to clean energyMany countries, including the US, rely on Chinese imports for most of its panels, according to Bloomberg. China's dominance of the global solar market may expose the solar supply chain to a greater risk of disruptions from geopolitical disputes, extreme weather, and shifts in the economy, Seaver Wang, a researcher involved in the study, told Insider.
