US-based fabs, or chip manufacturing plants, currently only account for 12% of the world’s modern semiconductor manufacturing capacity, according to data from the Semiconductor Industry Association trade group. Some 75% of the world’s modern chip manufacturing is now concentrated in East Asia – a majority of that in geopolitically-vulnerable Taiwan. Now, simply having the facilities already set up to produce or expand chip manufacturing gives Asia a big advantage. This is not yet the case in places like Arizona and Ohio, where plans to build massive chip manufacturing plants are already underway. If not, even the billions of dollars committed by the private and public sector may not be enough to reshore semiconductor manufacturing.

Ştafeta flăcării olimpice îşi va începe joi periplul în Japonia, la Fukushima, după un an şi o zi de la amânarea Jocurilor Olimpice de la Tokyo din cauza pandemiei de Covid-19, informează AFP, citează Agerpres. După amânarea Jocurilor, flacăra a rămas expusă în nord-estul Japoniei, dar, ca urmare a creşterii numărului cazurilor de Covid-19, ea a fost transportată într-un loc secret. Flacăra a reapărut pentru două luni la Muzeul Olimpic, situat în apropierea Stadionului Naţional. În cursul periplului său, flacăra va traversa 47 de departamente din Japonia, insula Hokkaido şi regiunea Kagoshima din sud-vest, cu un ocol prin insulele Okinawa. În fiecare zi, flacăra va fi depusă într-un "vas special" cântărind aproximativ 200 kg şi măsurând 1,5 metri.

Împreună cu o aplicație, masca C-Face Smart poate transcrie dictarea, amplifica vocea utilizatorului și traduce vorbirea în opt limbi diferite, conform startup-ului. Donut Robotics a dezvoltat mai întâi software-ul de traducere pentru un robot numit „Cinnamon” (Scorțișoară), dar când a început pandemia, proiectul robotului a fost suspendat. Ono a cofondat compania împreună cu inginerul Takafumi Okabe, cu scopul de a „schimba lumea cu roboți de comunicații mici și mobili”. Ono spune că software-ul Donut Robotics folosește învățarea automată dezvoltată cu ajutorul experților în traducere și specializați în limba japoneză. „În acest nou normal, masca și aplicația sunt foarte utile”.
