Why China is Losing the Microchip War
Zongchang Yu resigned from his position as an engineer at ASML in 2012—the only business in the world capable of producing this equipment. The most cutting-edge semiconductor chips or microchips are produced using this equipment. He founded two new businesses after leaving ASML, one in the US and one in China. Later, US and ASML attorneys would claim that Yu had hired other ASML engineers for his US business, that they had taken with them stolen knowledge of AMSL's machine, and that all of this was sanctioned by the Chinese government. This incident is only a minor part of China's massive transformation of semiconductors, one of the most important and globally relevant industries. China's efforts, however, have increasingly trapped it in a fight against the United States. Market share is not the topic here. Tariffs are not the topic here. It has to do with safety. So how precisely did a Cold War over computer chips between the US and China begin? In the 1950s, technologists in the US created the first semiconductor chip. It is a silicon chip with four transistors. The chip's power increases with the number of transistors. Engineers created one in 1960 with four times as many transistors, and they continued to find new methods to increase transistors every year after that. As a result, semiconductor technology has advanced exponentially since the early 1960s. The author of Chip War is Chris Miller. Gordon Moore, the inventor of Intel, projected in 1965 that a single chip's processing capacity would nearly double every year, and that trend has generally continued up to the present.

Why China’s Population is shrinking
Over the past 60 years, China's birth and mortality rates have witnessed strong birth rates. But in 2022, China's population fell for the first time in six decades as a result of more deaths than births. Consider this to see why this is such a significant deal: Because of its enormous population, China is the world's industrial superpower. Manufacturing accounts for around 30% of the nation's economic output. Here is a chart of China's population during the previous 60 years. Its population of 1.4 billion people is still roughly as large as it has ever been, despite losing over a million individuals in 2022. However, it's anticipated that by the end of the century, that will almost halve. China's growth and policies over time have contributed to the reduction of its population.

How researchers hack bacteria to dye blue jeans
The vast majority of us can't envision looking through our storage room and not seeing a couple of these, blue Jeans. you have the thin trendy person kind, boot cuts, father pants, no judgment. One thing that pretty much our pants share for all intents and purposes is all that blue part, the indigo color. Tragically, the color we use today is really grimy. What's more, since we make a great deal, and I mean, truly a ton of pants, that one cycle has an effect, yet certain individuals are reevaluating the manner in which we make the indigo color. So later on, our pants may very well be a little more clean. I'd wear this. I believe I'm wearing this at the present time. Truth be told. Pants are notable, just so everyone has them in their wardrobe. In this way, I feel for that reason they're an extraordinary contextual analysis. The fact that billions of matches make reliably, it assessed of pants are made, and to give them that notorious blue shade, north of 70,000 tons of indigo are delivered too, and that indigo is really key to that exemplary blurred look. That makes pants so incredible in light of the fact that like as you wear pants, this falls off, and you get this like lovely blurring. Thus, that is the reason you can utilize indigo.
