Socionext is proud to be among the industry leaders collaborating with Waymo to support the computing foundation for fully autonomous driving.

Waymo’s blog offers a closer look at the compute architecture behind the Waymo Driver, including real-time sensor processing and high-performance onboard computing.

Compute is the brain of the Waymo Driver, translating raw sensor data into real-time driving commands. Operating demonstrably safe, physical AI on the road demands a fundamental shift towards a system engineered for deterministic, low-latency performance. Over the past decade, we have co-designed ou...

A new stacked chip uses fast and slow semiconductor layers to recognize changes in motion over time, opening new possibilities for low-power wearables and smart sensing - via Tech Xplore.

For a wearable device to distinguish walking from a brief swing of the arm, it must recognize how movement changes over time. Korean researchers have developed a technology that stacks semiconductor devices with different response speeds, allowing them to recognize both a change that has just occurr...

Distant “time crystals” inside a semiconductor can synchronize across surprisingly large distances, opening new possibilities for future spin-based devices - via ScienceDaily.

Researchers have shown that multiple time crystals inside a semiconductor can synchronize their oscillations, much like pendulum clocks gradually falling into the same rhythm. The coupling is carried by spin-polarized electrons, allowing time crystals separated by up to 40 micrometers to lock to a c...

A newly observed “curveball” effect in quantum light could change how lasers interact with qubits, revealing new possibilities for future quantum computers - via ScienceDaily.

Researchers have experimentally demonstrated the optical Magnus effect for the first time, revealing that a tightly focused laser interacts most strongly with an atom slightly away from the beam’s center. The unexpected shift is similar to the physics that makes a spinning table tennis ball curve ...
